11 weeks..and counting

This is what I recieved from "My Pregnancy Week to Week"....


Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and 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.


Here is a link to see what the baby actually looks like at this point...




I am feeling good. Luckily I have not experienced any morning sickness. I was EXTREMELY exhausted there for awhile but even that is fading a bit. I have been going back to the gym to try to stay in as best shape as possible. Dr. says I can do cardio as long as I keep my BPM under 165...along with that I am doing light weights...can't lift over 25lbs. And at 11 weeks I am starting to enjoy the idea of being pregnant. As some of you know I was very upset/unhappy for the first month or so...just not liking the experience and not liking what my body was going through. I still don't like that fact that my butt/thighs/and stomach seem to be expanding but what can I do right!!?? :-)


Here is a picture I took at 11 weeks...

I'm guessing I will try to update once a week for now...See ya back next week!
