Week 11

I found a site that has some cute pictures of fruits representing the size of the baby, so I'm going to start adding those in here. Last week was a prune, so be glad I didn't post for last week. This week, however, is a small lime!



And here is the baby drawing:



Right now the baby's head is as big as the body. But the fingers and toes have lost their webbing. The skin is transparent. The little tooth buds and fingernails are starting to develop. And apparently the baby can be pretty active, though I still can't feel any of that yet. Also, the baby's length and weight will double in the next 3 weeks.

For me, my uterus has filled my entire pelvic cavity, so I'm warned I may feel a sense of "fullness" in my lower abdomen. That's a bit of an understatement. I pretty much feel full all the time. My weight has stayed pretty steady so far, though at the end of the day, my waistbands are too tight. I've made a pair of pants with a big lycra band at the top for work and also a pair of denim capris with the same band.

I don't have my belly picture this week, but I really don't look any different from the earlier pictures yet.

Jim and I are actually in Long Island this weekend celebrating the 4th of July with our friends Tom & Jenn. Jenn's also pregnant - she's about 3 weeks further along than me. We're all really excited that we're having kids at almost the same time.
