First Flutters

I completely forgot to mention this, but I THINK I might have felt the first flutters from Baby Hollowell two nights ago, and then again last night. Keep in mind I am likely wrong, but at this point I'm going with it. I have a routine doctor's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have more to share about the new little one then. As of today, I am 17 weeks along so that means I have 23 more to go.

Here is an excerpt from a website about the baby's current development:

He's adding fat stores that will keep him warm and cozy after he's born. Your baby's weight will increase approximately six times over the next four weeks. Good to know you're not the only one tipping the scale. Also this week:Your baby is hard at work honing his sucking and swallowing reflexes—all the better for eating that 2 AM (and 5 AM, and 8 AM ...) meal in a few months! The finger- and toenails are beginning to grow from their nail beds, which would explain why he'll need them trimmed almost as soon as he's born! Your baby weighs nearly 5 ounces and is a little over 5 inches long—about the size of a baked potato

I seem to be growing at an alarming rate, so I cannot imagine my own size after the next four weeks!
