17 Weeks

I meant to do this yesterday...

At 17 weeks the Rothrock baby weighs about 5 oz. now and is around 5 inches long, about the size of a large onion.

Since I've had the below conversation with a few of you, I thought I'd include this tidbit that I got from the "baby center" website:

Why am I so forgetful?

There's no conclusive explanation for why many pregnant women misplace their keys on a daily basis, but a general feeling of forgetfulness during pregnancy can be the result of lack of sleep. "Pregnant women need extra sleep, but it's hard to get," says Margaret Pfeifer, an obstetrician with the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. As your body changes and becomes more uncomfortable, it can disrupt your sleep patterns. Other factors that may contribute to fogginess include hormones, stress, and a preoccupation with all things baby.
