11 and a Half Weeks

I'm two days short of being 12 weeks pregnant. On one hand it's going so fast, on the other hand so slow. The slow part is getting over the nauseous pregnancy part. I've been living off cheese sandwiches for weeks now. It seems that the nausea/food quesiness issues have finally lifted today. I was hungry for lunch and ate dinner without a problem. I even peeled some potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Quite an improvement.

According to Baby Center, my 11 week-old baby is the size of a fig. Before it becames a human being, the site compares the fetus to various different sized fruits. Works for me. I know how big a fig is.

Some more info about the fig-sized 11-week old from Baby Center.
"See the big pictureHow your baby's growing:
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."
