the week of the ONION...

It's week 17 and baby Brusegard is the size of an onion, which was my least favorite vegetable prior to pregnancy... now I can handle it in small doses. It is amazing how many things have changed this early: hair is growing like weeds, odd looking sideburns showing through, food likes/dislikes, and on & off aches and pains in muscles I didn't know I had.

My purchase of the week is a small one, but a cute one:

WEEK 17 stats....

How big is baby/belly? baby is the size of an onion; tummy is still the size of a watermelon!
