So I'm behind...

again as usual :).

Here is the 11th week information.
Your Baby
All of your baby's vital organs are now formed and functioning, so the risk of defects decreases this week as your baby becomes less susceptible to outside influences. Phew! Other exciting developments include:

Baby's ears are assuming their proper place this week and the fingernail and toenail beds are beginning to form. Your little "pumpkin head" really lives up to his nickname as his head is nearly as big as the rest of his body.

While testes or ovaries are completely formed now, don't start decorating the nursery. You won't be able to see your baby's gender for a few more weeks yet.

Your baby is really on the move now. In an ultrasound you might be able to see your little acrobat flailing his or her arms and legs and doing somersaults worthy of Cirque du Soleil. You still won't be able to feel any movement, so if you feel something "kick" in there, it's probably gas.

In the next nine weeks, your baby will increase 30 times in weight and almost triple in length. You might feel like you're increasing 30 times in weight at this point, too, but we can assure you're not—because, honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Your baby now weighs a third of an ounce, about the same as two small, Starbucks-sized packets of sugar, is about 2 inches long, the length of one of those sugar packets. Isn't that sweet?

11 Weeks Pregnant

I didn't feel so hot during this week. Morning/all day sickness came back big time. We went to the Dr at 11w3d she searched for the heartbeat, couldn't find it. She kept finding mine and at one point as she moved across my belly I heard a beat that was off from mine, but I think she assumed it was mine again and moved off of it really fast. I'm going to stick with saying that was it :). She said since I still have symptoms that she isn't concerned and that it was still really early, I'm saying all my extra flub caused the issue. She said to come back in two weeks, which is this wednesday and she will try again, if she can't find it with the Doppler, we'll try with the Ultrasound. Part of me wants her to find it quickly, part of me wants to find it on the u/s. :)

Here is 12 weeks, which was last week!
Baby's face is looking more human as his eyes have moved to the front of his head and his ears are in place. Hooray! Other amazing fetal highlights this week:

Your baby is able to swallow this week and practices on the amniotic fluid he or she floats in. (And you thought baby food was kind of nasty!) And in case you're wondering how your kid can breathe in all that fluid, here's your answer: Fetuses get oxygen from the blood pumped into their bodies by the placenta and don't breathe with their lungs. Mystery solved!

This is kind of gross, albeit fascinating, so feel free to skip ahead: Your baby's intestines are well under way, but they aren't all where you'd expect them to be. Instead of all being locked away in the body cavity, some are dangling on the outside, in the umbilical cord. Ewwww.

Don't forget to put a baby nail file on your registry—your little nugget's finger- and toenails are forming this week. The chin and nose are also becoming more defined.

Junior has doubled in size over the past two weeks and now weighs almost ½ ounce. He's also now around 2 ½ inches long, about the length of your pinky finger or a Vienna sausage, which, in a few months, will be indistinguishable from one another.

12 Weeks Pregnant

I still felt pretty crummy this week, throwing up has increased a LOT. However, I drank some juice yesterday morning and although I threw most of it up, whatever stayed down must have helped, and I finally had a good BM so I don't feel plugged up from bottom to top.

Allison and Caiden came for a visit on Tuesday which was wonderful! He makes my heart melt and I can't wait for him and baby s to be friends! Allison and I also decided we should all go on a Disney cruise in a few years! When I told Dillon he said "I think I'm busy that week" ha. he can't wait, he just doesn't like admitting it!

We were watching that stupid show about moms who put their little girls in pagents (sorry if you don't find it the most ridiculus thing ever, i'll explain to you why it is someday). And Dill was ewwin and awwin through the whole thing! It was so cute :)

I wore full on maternity pants one day this week, I woke up and felt HUGE and knew I was not squeezing into any of my regular clothes. I also had an OMG moment at the end of last week, I was getting ready for the shower and looking at the spots on the back of my neck in the mirror, well stupid judgement made me look down my back and BANG hips! I've always pretty much went straight down and my hips weren't much bigger than the rest of my body. Well. I'm pear shaped now haha. JEEZ! Oh well baby needs room!

I feel pretty good today, supposed to be doing homework, opps. Guess I'll do it tomorrow! I may go take a tummy picture now!
Dillon and I finally got the living room back to it's normal shape today, feels huge in there now! I'll hopefully get an update in after our appt wed! --dillon, emily, baby s.
