11 weeks

ONE MORE WEEK until my 12 week milestone. I am so excited. I have my occasional freak-out but I feel pretty optimistic that this is meant to be. I love listening to the little one's heart beat. It is so calming... I could listen to it forever.

So, I'm told that this week, my baby looks like a fig in size. It's amazing to me how slow the growth is the first few weeks (pencil dot, appleseed, kidney bean) and then all of a sudden it hits a gigantic growth spurt.

Compliments of BabyCenter: Your baby, about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
