My sister, with three bambinos, left her husband with the boys one night for the first time. On her return, she asked, "Were the boys up all night?" because they usually were. "Oh no," he said, "They slept through." Curious, my sister asked the boys, as sleeping through would be an all-time ring-the-bells hang-out-the-flags event. "No, we were up," they said, "But we couldn't wake Daddy."
Back to babies. According to the books, which I have actually started to read, at 17 weeks the baby is around 12cm long and 200g-ish. We're talking tiny! In the next six months, it will grow to 40cm and around 4kg, about four times longer and twenty times heavier. Saints Alive!
By mid afternoon, with breakfast, brunch, lunch and snacks inside her, wifey is all energy and fun again. Hah. She's off to pregnancy yoga this evening...
