About our baby: Our sweet baby’s skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she’s around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop. . (summary from babycenter)

Sleep: Lots of tossing and turning..
Best moment this week: Gaining weight. I wasn’t digging losing weight during pregnancy too much!
Worst moment this week: Trying to find a nursing bra that is comfortable – it’s like mission impossible! I found a one that fit perfectly but the back clasp fabric was sharp. No good
