Another weekly email:
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Our next appointment is 12/9 and at that visit we should be able to set up our 20 week ultrasound ... at that appointment they should be able to determine whether we are having a boy or a girl! We are so excited and will be sure to keep everyone posted! Here is a photo taken at 11 weeks ... I'll work on getting the 12 and 16 week photos up this week!
