Lime!

Ok, so I am a day alte with this week's update. But to be fair, it's been a hell of a week. Morning sickness kicked in for me right in the middle of our holiday program at school. My class was on stage and the combination of students body odor, parent body odor, the heat in the gym, and a dropping blood sugar level.... yeah. I had to run to the bathroom. Several teachers saw and knew what was going on. The next day they laughed and said "Joi, they were that bad..." I guess I can laugh about it now.

So, here we are, at week 11. 28% done. All is going well. No more bleeding, and at this week's doctor appointment I had another ultrasound (which will from now on be abbreviated u/s). I kept my eyes closed, as you can see the screen in the office, so that I wouldn't see if there was something wrong. Nope! The tech said "There he is, jumping and dancing around in there." I was so excited. So here's the info on week 11.

Around 11 weeks, you’ll probably notice some subtle changes, like an increase in vaginal discharge and a dark, vertical line appearing down the center of your belly (known as the linea nigra). It’s probably tough to feel calm right now, since your hormones are still haywire and you may still be feeling pretty nauseated. But know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel -- just two more weeks left in trimester one! Week 11 is a great time to start planning a babymoon: a romantic getaway with your partner. Just about everyone recommends you do this in the second trimester, since that’s when you’ll likely feel most energized (and we doubt you’ll want to do a lot of traveling once you hit trimester three). A babymoon isn’t just a cool way to celebrate your anticipation for baby’s arrival; it’s a great way to bond with your partner before baby starts taking up a ton of your time and attention. Hey, maybe you’ll also get to relax a little! So take your mind off your queasiness and start scouting some babymoon destinations. And if you need another diversion, imagine your growing baby, doing just fine in there, becoming more and more mature every day.

your baby's the size of a lime!
Your fetus is about 1.6 inches long, and she's got about a 1:1 head to body ratio. She now weighs in at about .25 ounces.

your baby at 11 weeks
You can't see it, but she's moving fluidly and gracefully in there.
Her skin is see-through, but she's on her way to looking more like a baby.
Her fingers and toes aren't webbed anymore.
Tooth buds, hair follicles and nail beds are forming.
