Week 11

How your baby's growing: Your fig-sized baby is now fully formed — measuring 1 1/2 inches long and weighing in at a quarter of an ounce. His skin is still transparent, allowing many of his blood vessels to show through. Some of his bones are beginning to harden, and tiny toothbuds are starting to appear under his gums. His fingers and toes have separated, and he may soon be able to open and close his fists. He's already busy kicking and stretching, and his tiny movements are so fluid they look like water ballet. These movements will increase as his body grows and becomes more developed and functional. As his diaphragm develops, your tiny tenant may also start to get the hiccups. Because he's still so small, though, you won't feel any of his workouts or intrauterine gulps until sometime between weeks 16 and 20.

So, 11 weeks today. And I feel a bit better. I am scared to type that. Last night we had tacos and the smell of the turkey meat and spices made me feel really green. At night my belly is all bloated and I feel uncomfortable already. I know that is because my pants are too tight. I may need to go buy some maternity clothing soon. I am trying to hold off for a bit. Wow. I cannot believe how fast, yet slow this first trimester has been going. Hopefully by week 14 (3 weeks) I will be able to exercise again, eat properly and have my water again. I hate not eating well. I am sick of my Preggie Pops. I have decided that I don't like the Lemon or Tangerine flavours.Everybody knows about this baby now, and we are chugging away at names. I really hope we can get a nice name for this baby. My MIL suggest Chanel (No. 5) as a name. That is too funny. I said Mom it has to be a hard C name. She said can't you do something different for the last baby??? I said NOPE. Has to be a hard C!I am thinking this baby is a girl. I thought boy initially, but the pregnancy is much like Catrina's. So, I guess only time will tell. It will be interesting to hear the heartrate!! That will tell me. It has worked 4/4 times for us!!
