Week 11

This week went well - dealt mostly with the fatigue as the naseau seems to not be as bothersome (it's still here though). I think it was Tuesday that I came home, fell asleep from 5-6 and when Todd woke me up, I felt that I could have easily slept through the night. And last night I slept from about 10:30pm-9:30am and was still tired.

We have officially let most of the extended family know. I am going to hold off on telling the faculty and parents at my school for a bit longer.

Eleven weeks down, 29 to go...yikes!!!


Baby's Development (From Pregnancy.org)

  • Nearly all structures and organs are formed and beginning to function.
  • Fingers and toes have separated - Take a glimpse at how incredibly precious your child's tiny feet are at this point.
  • Hair and nails begin to grow
  • The genitals begin to take on the proper gender characteristics - It will be just a few more weeks before your ultrasound can show if you are having a boy or a girl! Have you been dreaming of pink or blue?

    Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the kidneys begin to function - This fluid, consisting primarily of water, helps provide a cushion for your baby while she's nestled within your womb.
  • The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice contractions that digest food.
  • Your baby is about 1.61 inches (4.1 cm) long and weighs 0.25 ounce (7gm).
