17 weeks and OB appointment

I had my regular OB appointment today. Everything went well. I heard the heartbeats which is always great to hear. I do miss seeing them though. I was definetly spoiled when i was seeing my RE. But everything is going well so i have nothing to complain about and I'm feeling wonderful.

Here is week 17 fetal development update:

Don't be too shocked but... your baby is EVEN bigger than it was last week, not to mention getting cuter, and smarter every day! As you’ve come to expect, there’s no shortage of growth and development this week: your fantastic little bean stalk has added yet another half inch to their overall height-- making them nearly half a foot long! Their little limbs have reached (or are within one week of) their relative proportions, and will continue to grow evenly with the rest of the body after this week. Reactive listening has begun for your baby, even though their ears are not yet structurally complete or fully functional. Meanwhile, different parts of their astonishingly complex brain are developing to process your little one’s hearing and other senses, (you know, sight, smell, taste and touch).
