11 weeks!!!

The first trimester is coming to a close with a little over a week to go before entering the second. So far so good!!! The baby is about the size of a fig and this week is developing soft fingernails and hair. He still moves a lot, even more as he gets bigger and you can see him hiccup causing a whole body jerk. The hiccups are frequent as he swallows the amniotic fluid. Though it's hard to see in the photos, his spinal column and tiny ribs can be seen. He is kicking against me now with his long legs, though I still can't feel it. I think that's what I am so excited about is finally feeling him. He moves around his space a lot more now not just staying in one area like he used to. The more he moves the stronger his muscles become and his bones are beginning to harden. Thank you all that are sharing in the joy of this magic with me.
