Week 11

Well, we are in week 11 (1/4 of the pregnancy is over so far!!). I actually had to go out and buy pre-pregnancy pants last night to wear to my friend Kim's wedding shower today...kind of fun and yet crazy!! They are SO much more comfortable than the pants I've been wearing to work every day, so I'm happy (and you will be seeing a lot of these two new pairs of pants!!!!).

So, week 11, here is what they say we can expect this week:
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.

I always think that is fun news. Also, I've attached a recent photo of the proud parents...for those of you who asked bc we don't get to see most of you all of the time. As I begin to "show" we'll send you pictures of that as well (as long as I don't show just that I'm gaining weight!).

Love you all,
The Mitchells
