Kathy's in her week 17! Since last week, she's feeling much better and seemed like everything is back to normal, only her tummy is getting bigger and bigger. Everyone says her 2nd trimester is the honeymoon period of her pregnancy. Now we really notice that.

This week Little Curly's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord is growing stronger and thicker. He should be weighing 5 ounces now. He can move his joints, and his sweat glands are starting to develop.

According to BabyCenter, Kathy may notice her eyes becoming drier. This is the case and she should be using over-the-counter lubricating drops. And if her contact lenses become uncomfortable, try wearing them for shorter stretches of time. So Kathy, wear glasses!

We've accomplished a lot during the past week despite my business trip: picked the curtains for baby's room, checked out several potential new cars, sofa delivered for the new home, started packing for removal this Sat, traveled to Macau for the first time (LC's first time), bought more stylish maternity clothes and of course, flat shoes, this time from Tod's...

Well, there're still a lot more to prepare and accomplish before Little Curly's born. Let's work hard!
