Week 11

What baby center says :
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long (actually ours is 2 inches)and about the size of a fig, 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.

Our Dr. visit today.

We had another Dr. appt today. This was the first one Adam and Lallie were able to go to with me. We got to see the baby and hear is heartbeat. Everything was perfect! He has a very strong heartbeat, about 168 beats per min., the stronger the better this early. It was so cool to see how much he has grown in only 5 weeks. Adam and I were amazed at how much he moved and flipped!!! Thats all we need is another active child. In this ultra sound we could even see his hands so clearly that we saw fingers.
As we were watching the ultra sound I was asking the tech if she could tell it was a boy yet, to which my child responded : its not a boy mommy.... its a girl.GREAT.
We also found out today that my Dr. is retiring and we gotta find another OB- again. YAY!
I go back on Nov. 25 and we will out find out the gender until my December appt :(
Enjoy the picture!

Week 10

Though he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, baby x has now completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature.

He's swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs — including his kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy.

If you could take a peek inside the womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

In other developments: The baby's limbs can bend now. His hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. The outline of his spine is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from his spinal cord. Your baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his developing brain and sits very high on his head, which measures half the length of his body. From crown to rump, he's about 1 1/4 inches long. In the coming weeks, your baby will again double in size — to nearly 3 inches.
All of this information came from the baby center website, even as a read it and type it here again.... I am in tears... amazed at this wonderful gift we have been given yet again!
I am having another ultrasound on Wednesday.. so I will put up a new pic then!
