Kicking and Stretching at 11 Weeks

At 1 and 1/2 inches long (I am now being referred to as a fig), mom can't feel any of the kicking and stretching I am doing this week. Soon enough she will regret saying that she wished she could!

Everything is almost completely formed (albeit small) and I cannot wait until my hands can open and close into fists (I'm almost there - I don't think it will be much longer). Some of my bones are even beginning to harden and I think these are teeth buds starting to come in under my gums. Thank goodness for vitamins and calcium supplements! It will remain to be seen whether or not I get the good teeth genes from my mom and dad because neither one of them ever had braces.

Mom is doing okay. She is still frequently sleepy and her back has been a bit achy. She has noticed some of her clothes aren't fitting quite as comfortably, too. Dad denies it, but I think you might see from the picture this week that she is beginning to pop. It's either that or she is getting fat from eating everything and anything put in front of her (okay, still no red meat and nothing fried. But for the most part, anything else goes!) . She saw the doctor this week but unfortunately there are no new pictures of me. You'll have to wait another 8 or 9 weeks for that! I did let my mom hear my heartbeat. though. I think she almost cried. Imagine what she will be like when I am born!
