Eleven Weeks Update

Baby T is, who is just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her/His hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under the gums, and some of the bones are beginning to harden.

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

Almost done with the first trimester! :)
