11 weeks and a doctor's appointment


from babycenter:

How your baby's growing: Your fig-sized baby is now fully formed — measuring 1 1/2 inches long and weighing in at a quarter of an ounce. His skin is still transparent, allowing many of his blood vessels to show through. Some of his bones are beginning to harden, and tiny toothbuds are starting to appear under his gums. His fingers and toes have separated, and he may soon be able to open and close his fists. He's already busy kicking and stretching, and his tiny movements are so fluid they look like water ballet. These movements will increase as his body grows and becomes more developed and functional. As his diaphragm develops, your tiny tenant may also start to get the hiccups. Because he's still so small, though, you won't feel any of his workouts or intrauterine gulps until sometime between weeks 16 and 20.

we had another doctor's appointment on monday. I have actually LOST 3 pounds and am only 1.5 pounds up from the last time I weighed in at weight watchers which was the day before I took the pregnancy test. Not bad!!!

My blood pressure was good too: 124/82 :)

we also had an ultrasound....nothing much to look at since the jellybean's so little still..but we got to hear his/her heartbeat....strong at 150 :) :) :)

Dr. Freedman told me I was the most laid back of all my cousins (he knows all 3 and has delivered babies for 2 of them :) ) . ... imagine that baby. . YOUR mommy laid back.....daddy thinks it's pretty funny!!!

Other than that. . . I feel good :)
