Lil Mac: 11 Weeks



Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a lime, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.

I keep trying to get belly pics but just haven't had the time or don't think about it since I'm not really showing a whole lot. I will try again tonight to get one.
I'm still feeling great and not pregnant. It's definitely a weird feeling vs how I felt with Brody. I've been wondering if the difference of sick and not sick has to do with my thyroid being controlled vs it being all over the place when pregnant with Brody. I'm not nearly as tired this time around compared to how tired I was with Brody.

Here's a cool pic of an 11 week old fetus. Crazy how small they are yet all major body parts are formed, developed and growing.

I'm just trucking right along and ready to head into the 2nd trimester. My favorite trimester out of them all! 2nd trimester is the most exciting because you begin to look pregnant, you start feeling the baby and you find out the sex of the baby! Then you get to start thinking of names! We definitely have a few picked out for both a boy and girl but I keep going back and forth on the names. So I guess we will narrow it down once we find out the gender.

Til next time,
LeAnn
