Are you "figgin'" kidding me?!? Baby Week 11

I am kind of sort of on the mend from this bronchitis. It has really kicked my butt. Luckily the sinus congestion has let up, but the draining in the back of my throat makes me cough all the time. Plus the bronchitis in general makes me cough - so it is a lovely time! I have taken to sleeping on the couch the past 4 or 5 nights. I try to sleep in bed, but it just doesn't work too well. Thankfully, I'm early enough in my pregnancy that I can still lay on my back which is pretty much the only position I can sleep in. I hope I feel better soon because I only have a few more weeks of being able to do that and then it is only sleeping on my sides and preferably my left side rather than my right side. So many rules when you are pregnant!

So that is the update on mommy - oh we have our next OB appt and ultrasound on the 19th... so next Tuesday! YAY!!

Here is what is happening with Baby Wolfe (with a picture at the bottom)...

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 hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
