11 Weeks

Today is 11 weeks and instead of just showing you the boring, yet-to-be-expanding stomach of mine, I decided to throw in some developmental tidbits of what's going on 'in there'. You know, in case some of you women forget and men never knew. This information is coming from a site that emails me progress each week to tell me how baby is growing. At this point, baby is just over 1 1/2 inches long, about the size of a fig, and is now almost fully formed. The hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under the gums, and some of the bones are beginning to harden. Baby is already busy kicking and stretching, and the tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. Exciting stuff!!
