How big are you?

According to "Your Pregnancy Week by Week", a book by Glae B Curtis an Judith Schuler, here's where I should be at 17 weeks:

"Your uterus is 11/2 inches to 2 inches below your belly button (confirmed at prenatal appt on Thurs!!). You are showing more now and have an obvious swelling in your lower abdomen (CHECK!). By this time, expanding or maternity clothing is a must for comfort's sake (Pheww, thank God). When your partner give you a hug, he may feel the difference in your lower abdomenn (this doesn't mean you can rub the squish and say I love your belly). The rest of your body is still changing. A total 5-10 pound gain by this point in your pregnancy is normal. (yee haw!! It's not just the keebler's cookies!)".

So, there you have it - text book pregnancy. This book hasbeen really helpful and it even has "Dad tips" like make sure you give foot and back rubs. :-) Actually, I LOVE this book....
