I'm 24 and the Baby's 11 Weeks!

Today is my Birthday! I can't believe I am 24 years old! For some reason this one makes me feel old, and 25 REALLY freaks me out. I mean, I've been out of high school for 6 years. No major plans to celebrate yet, but I think I see a mani/pedi in my future. I just wish it would warm up so I could wear flip-flops! Maybe I'll just get a massage...

Moving on... As I have been informed... it is no longer about me anymore :)... so here is an update on the baby...

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.
