Limes are better than prunes!!!!

Week 11 is here and we are getting so much closer to the second trimester. With each passing day, I relax a little bit more.


Week 11 - Baby is the size of a lime


Our fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming.

Our baby is now almost fully formed. His hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under his gums, and some of his bones are beginning to harden. He's already busy kicking and stretching. These movements will become more frequent as his body grows and becomes more developed and functional. I won't feel my baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will I notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that his diaphragm is forming.
