11 weeks

How far along? 11 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Same.

How Big is Baby?: The size of a lime

Maternity clothes? I got a pair of pants. They are amazing.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Some awesome nights, some not so awesome nights.

Best moment this week: Working on how we're going to tell everyone on Thanksgiving.

Movement: None.

Food cravings: Not much. Just major food aversion.

Gender: 29 more weeks. Wow that sounds really close

Labor Signs: No way.

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I am looking forward to: Sharing the news at Thanksgiving.

Weekly Wisdom: Sleep. Sleep. And sleep some more.

Milestones: Your baby is about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches long and weighs about a third of an ounce, the size of a peanut. This is a big week for your baby's growth—she'll double in height. At the end of the week, her head and body will be roughly equal in length. This week also starts an active phase for her - she can turn somersaults, roll over, flex her fingers, hiccup, and stretch. You won't be able to feel her movement for another month and a half. She's floating in lots of amniotic fluid. Her limbs are developing from webbed paddles into arms and legs that have well-defined fingers and toes. Fingernails, toenails, and hair follicles are also beginning to form. Your baby's testes or ovaries have developed, though the sex probably won't be visible on a sonogram for at least another month. Intestines have developed at the place where the umbilical cord meets your baby's body. The intestines are now able to make constricting movements, though there won't be anything to digest until later
