The Baby, 11 Weeks

Here is how our little prince or princess looks this week. :)
Your baby is growing incredibly rapidly right now. She is approximately 1.75 to 2.4 inches (4.4 to 6cm) when measured from crown to rump. That's about the size of a large lime. :) She will double her length in the next three weeks. Your growing baby weighs about 0.3 ounces (8g).
The neck is developing and the chin lifts up from the chest. Fingernails are also present. While your baby's sex was already determined at the time of fertilization, male or female genitalia are now visible. Essential organs are formed and most have begun to function. The blood vessels in the placenta are increasing in number to meet your baby's increasing nutritional needs. Her ears are moving towards the sides of her head, away from the neck. Your baby's head is still not in proportion with her body. Your baby's head accounts for about half of her body length.
We have an appointment to actually see the doctor on Monday. I am excited because we should get to hear the baby's heartbeat with the Doppler!!!
I went to Houston on Monday with K's mom and sister to go to Babies'R'Us and some stores at the Woodlands Mall. We had a lot of fun and found my pattern for the big stuff, like the pak'n'play, high chair, stroller, and carseat. They all have sheep on them! They are really cute! I found a beautiful crib and dresser/changing table I like, too. It was a lot of fun...I am ready to get the ball rolling on the nursery now!!!
