Fetal development in pregnancy week 11: Your astonishingly tiny baby has been hard at work growing as fast as possible—almost doubling in size in the past three weeks! Amazingly, you’re in for a repeat size doubling performance within the next three weeks! Your tiny champion only weighs 1/3 of an ounce and is 1.61 inches long but has already completed the most critical stage of their development. Nearly all structures and organs are formed and beginning to function. Fingers and toes have separated - Take a glimpse at how incredibly precious your child's tiny feet are at this point. Hair and nails begin to grow, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden. The genitals begin to take on the proper gender characteristics - It will be just a few more weeks before your ultrasound can show if you are having a boy or a girl! Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the kidneys begin to function - This fluid, consisting primarily of water, helps provide a cushion for your baby while she's nestled within your womb. The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice contractions that digest food. They're also developing their swallow reflex this week. And lastly, your baby's smelling and other olfactory senses will begin developing this week, which when combined with the maturing taste buds, will provide your baby with their first experiences of taste and smell.

11 Weeks Pregnant!!
We’re 11 weeks pregnant!! Tomorrow is our next Dr. appointment and we should get another ultrasound- with pictures hopefully!!! I’m feeling really good! I do get tired sometimes and am always hungry. I’ve read that you’re only supposed to gain 5 pounds in your 1st trimester and I’ve gained 6 so far with 3 weeks left in my 1st trimester…lol I’m not going to worry about it. They say you gain more weight in the beginning with a boy than with a girl, so who knows…maybe it’s a boy!!
