Week 11

I am 11 weeks today only 2 more weeks left and Good-Bye 1st Trimester!!!


Baby
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long 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.

Symptoms
I'm starting to feel something different this week. I'm still hungry quite a bit throughout the day, but I've noticed that after taking a few bites I'm completely full. Not only am I full, but I feel full for quite some time after lunch and dinner. I also noticed that foods are starting to taste different. I had pizza last night for dinner, and it tasted like the best pizza I have ever had in my life. On Sunday we made "gravy" spaghetti sauce from scratch and again it tasted like the best sauce I have ever had in my life. I'm really enjoying Italian food quite a lot this week.

This week I've felt a little more tired than usual and that's because I'm at work. I am taking naps and feeling a little bit better.

6 more days left for my NT scan which I can't wait!!! It's just so much fun seeing the baby on the ultrasound screen moving around.
