198 days!


Made it past the 200 day mark.. that seems like a crazy amount to go! This is what is happening to the baby in week 11:

It's just over 1 1/2 inches long, about the size of a fig! It's almost fully formed (amazing), the 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.

The baby is already busy kicking and stretching (really?!), the tiny movements are so effortless, they look like water ballet (Mom! you know what that's like!). These movements will become more frequent as the body grows and becomes more developed and functional.

Here's the baby fig!
