11 1/2 Weeks

Our baby, 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 her/his gums, and some of her/his bones are beginning to harden.She/he's 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 her/his body grows and becomes more developed and functional. I won't feel the baby's acrobatics for another month or two (whatever)— nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her/his diaphragm is forming.
I have a doctors appointment this Wednesday, April 16th at 10:40 am. This is where Vicki says she can determine if it's a boy or a girl, she says it depends on if he/she makes it difficult to find the heart beat then it's a boy because boys are difficult! AMEN
To bad she's only kidding. But if the heart beat is like over 150 bpm then it's a girl and if it's slow, less then 150 bpm then its a boy. The tall tale is that the boys have a larger heart and beats slower whereas the girls have a smaller heart and have to beat faster to keep up. Whatever, I just want to hear a heartbeat!
For all of those still really wondering the sex, it probably won't be until mid to late June, sorry! But you know I'll post it when I find out!!
