Technically, this is what's going on this week:
- Chestnut is the size of a fig - ~1.61 inches and 0.25 ounces.
- At 11 weeks pregnant, nearly all structures and organs are formed and beginning to function.
- The head comprises nearly half of the fetus' size.
- Baby can swallow and stick out his or her tongue.
- Fingers and toes have separated.
- Hair and nails begin to grow at 11 weeks of pregnancy.
- The fetus can make a fist with its fingers.
- Genitals appear well differentiated.
- Red blood cells are produced in the liver.
- Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the kidneys begin to function.
- The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice contractions that digest food.

- Boarded the vomit comet once (v6)...but it was a very, very special ride.
- Foods that suck: meat (still), grilled onion or garlic...or anything grilled, really.
- Foods that are awesome: salads, chocolate, carbs (bread).
- Gauging from my pregnancy with Penelope and Camille, week 11 was supposed to mark the first week of starting to feel better. At the beginning of this week (Saturday), I took two naps in one day. On Sunday and Monday, I felt a little better but still not great. After Tuesday, it all went downhill. I was not making my "turn" for the better. :(
- It has been nice getting to be at home with Camille. I love this girl so much!
- Feeling disappointed that I have not made the "turn." So disappointed.
