11 Weeks

This week was very eventful!  Last Wednesday, we left for the lake.  Judd was working at UGA, so it was convenient for us all to head to Lake Hartwell for a few days.  Sadie and I enjoyed a couple of days sunning and swimming, while poor Judd worked. 

Friday, I headed home to spend some time with my brother, Jon, and his wife Alicia and step-son Avery.  It was great to see them and hear about their house hunting.  Saturday morning, I got my hair cut and highlighted, then went shopping with mom.  I spent way too much money starting my maternity wardrobe, but it was fun!  Saturday night was my step-cousin Crystal's wedding.  It was a beautiful wedding at they Hyatt.  It was great to see the whole family.

Unfortunately, my "morning" sickness has not gone away completely.  I'll have a couple of good days, and then it hits again.  In the end, it's all going to be worth it.  Especially when I hear that sweet heartbeat.  Monday is our next ultrasound and appointment.  I should have lots of cute pictures to post, can't wait!

Here are a couple of pictures from before the wedding last Saturday.

Here is Baby Nash's progress this week, can't believe we have a LIME!!

Slightly more than two inches long now and weighing about a third of an ounce, your fetus is growing by leaps and bounds when you are 11 weeks pregnant. And so is his or her head, which is equal in length to the rest of the body (don't worry — all fetuses are top-heavy).


On the crown of that large head (and over the rest of the body), hair follicles are forming. Fingernail and toenail beds begin to develop this week and by next week, the nails themselves will start to grow (so don't forget to add a baby nail clipper to your to-buy list).

Your baby's body is straightening and his or her torso is lengthening (sounds like a yoga pose, doesn't it?). Other poses your baby can assume now: stretches, somersaults, and forward rolls. And while you can't tell this baby's gender by its cover yet, testes are developing if it's a boy and ovaries if it's a girl.

Don't forget to vote, so far it's overwhelmingly for a girl!  Only Sandee thinks it's a boy, and she's even doubting that a little now!  We'll see in a few weeks!
