Turnips, anyone?

Yep, you guessed it - the vegetable of choice for Jelly Bean's size this week is a turnip. :) He/she is about 5 inches long now.

I have still been running a little bit, but I've definitely had to slow down (my pace is about 1 1/2 minutes slower per mile now), and I get exhausted quickly. As I'm getting bigger, my balance is starting to get a little tricky, too. I'm very excited about a prenatal yoga dvd I just got, and hopefully that will help me stay fit as my running soon turns into walking.

Now that we're into the 17th week, JB's skeleton is starting to harden as it changes from soft cartilage to bone. I wonder if this is when I'll start to feel him/her move around more - I'm sure the bone will make the kicks a little harder. JB's joints are getting more defined now, too, so I'm sure that will improve the form of his/her little kicks as well! :)

I have been feeling flutters inside, but nothing that Steve can feel or see yet. Hopefully soon!! We are really looking forward to June 11 & finding out if we have a boy or girl! :)
