11 weeks and another sneak peak!

We went in yesterday for a quick little check-up and we got to see our little Mango again! The first ultrasound was amazing just as confirmation that I was actually pregnant and getting to hear the heartbeat. BUT, today we could actually see tiny hands and legs and even a little nose/ears! That feeling was indescribable, seeing a real little baby in there and hearing the heartbeat, suffice it to say there really are no words.

I also know that I have been slacking on the Hawaii photos and hopefully I will get some up this week, but I am still clearly a few weeks away from trimester 2 and the extra energy everyone swears I will have to do things like post pictures!

In addition to the update from babycenter, here's my quick "mom" update: I do have what at least appears to be a bump. It's quite small, but has started to get a few pats around the office none the less. Similar to last week, the morning sickness has been at a minimum, although not gone entirely but the lack of energy is still going strong! So, without futher ado, our 11 week update from babycenter:

Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden. She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two -- nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
