Week 11.
15 April 2008 3:03 p.m.
Week Eleven* 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
* 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! Have you been dreaming of pink or blue?
* 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.
* Your baby is about 1.61 inches (4.1 cm) long and weighs 0.25 ounce (7gm).
Eleven weeks pregnant now. Only 6 days until I have my scan. I will have to get bf to upload the scan onto the pc. I am not so good with things like that.
I am feeling a little less and less tired every day at the moment and feeling rather good in myself. I definitely have that rounder former tummy when I lay down even if it's just like I've eaten too much. It is still less evident in general composure though as I am fat anyway. I think I was about 4 months pregnant with Matthew when I started to show a bit but I think this one is a faster growth rate.
Still, next week, I should have a more accurate estimated due date.
Matthew is still insistant that baby is a girl. I myself am more convinced it will be another boy. Nearly everyone I know has one of each (or is currently expecting the opposite of thier first child) so it would be like me to do something completely different.
I did work out by my second scan that I was pregnant with a boy before but I didn't say anything in case I was wrong. If I see anything at this 20 week scan I will still keep it secret. It's down to guessing since they don't tell at my local hospital. Bf says he doesn't want to know the sex until baby is born but me, I would love to know in a way but I'd still like the surprise.
I won't allow myself to look at too many pretty little girl clothes as I do seem to have boy at the back of my mind.
Bf is currently at a job interview so I hope things are going well for him.
