11 WEEKS

Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a FIG, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden. She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two -- nor will you notice the hiccuping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
Zack and I realized all the stuff we want to get done before baby comes into our world. I don't know if it is "Spring Fever" or the feeling that we want everything in place for the baby? Needless to say, I have been wanting handles for all my kitchen cabinets for about two years and all of a sudden I came home with them this past weekend. I do love that it is spring though. I have already been out working in my garden. Hopefully I can teach my little one early to LOVE playing in the mud. I have a feeling when I have a toddler literally playing in the mud those words will come back to haunt me!
Strange to think of myself with a toddler let alone a baby! Strange and scary. I pray with all of my might that I will have a great relationship with my child. I have a wonderful relationship with my parents and can only hope to do the same with my child. I am learning VERY slowly but surely that it is in God's hands and to not kill myself worrying. There is no point, If it is his will it is his way. This is what I remind myself daily.
P.S. Women of the World: When a women tells you she is pregnant why do you feel the need to begin talking about horror deliveries and all the deformities and problems a child can be born with? If you were EVER pregnant remember how that felt when people starting telling you something let alone everything could be wrong with your unborn "FIG" , and if you have NEVER been pregnant why do you feel the need to tell women that their "va-jayjay" will never be the same and they will need reconstructive surgery. We are all on the same team here, why scare each other half to death.
P.S.S. This is what I found out from reactions when you start telling people you are preggers cause you are coming close to the end of your first trimester!
