Sibling update!

My little brother or sister has made remarkable changes in the last few days. Take a look at him/her now!
First we see a left hand...next a foot and in the last picture the tech pointed out it's tongue!

At 11 weeks and 3 days he/she is now the size of a large plum and most of it's systems are fully formed. Now they will mature over the next 28 weeks. It weighs as much as half an ounce now, and the crown-to-rump length is about two and a half inches. Believe it or not the baby has more than doubled in size during the past three weeks. The fetal digestive system is beginning to flex its digestive muscle - literally - as it starts practicing contraction movements, a skill the baby will need after birth to push food through the digestive tract. The pituitary gland at the base of the brain has started producing hormones. The bone marrow is making white blood cells, which will one day help the baby fight infection.

With a due date of Sunday, July 15, 2012 - we have 28 weeks and 1 day to go.
Today, December 31, 2011 we are at 11 Weeks and 6 days and still in the 1st Trimester.

I'm glad I could update you.
Until next time...

Love,
Alexis
