11 Weeks

It has been a week since my last post... its been pretty busy! I drove up to Raleigh and then up to Philly with my parents to watch Britt in a Caberet. She did a great job... as always! She did run me ragged through the streets of Philly though. I am sure I needed the exercise though! Here is a photo from the night of Brtts show...

I have been hanging out with Mom here in Raleigh these last few days. We have been running errands and getting some stuff done before we head up to Columbus tomorrow!!! I can't wait... not looking forward to the drive but can't wait to get there :)

Bridget will be having her baby this week (hence our trip up to OH). I can't wait to meet little baby Hamilton. I remember saying to her, how funny it would be if when she had the baby I was pregnant... and here we are!

We are 11 weeks along today and this is whats going on with the baby:

Our 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. I won't feel the baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will I notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
