17 weeks

Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.

I think you're right...you can definitely see a difference between the two pictures. It's amazing how quickly your body will change with that little person growing inside of you. How exciting that shortly after 8 tomorrow morning you will know if you're having a little boy or girl!
