11 Weeks

Hello Everyone,

We are still doing good. It is getting harder to get up in the morning for work because it is so dark outside so much later and I feel like I could sleep for ages. The baby now measures a little more than 1 and 1/2 inches long and weighs about quarter of an ounce. (1/2 of a large paper clip). Some of its bones are beginning to harden, and tiny tooth buds are starting to appear under its gums. The baby's fingers and toes have separated, and it may soon be able to open and close its fists. The baby's already busy kicking and stretching. Because it is still so small, I can't feel any of its workouts. The books say I probably won't be able to feel the baby's movements for another month or so. We are looking forward to our doctors appointment on Friday. They will measure the spine and we will get to hear the baby’s heart beat. Hopefully we will have some new ultrasound pictures to post next week.

Love,
