11 Weeks!

11 weeks! Wow time is going both slow and fast!  It seems like it takes forever to get to the next friday where I increase a week but when I look big picture Im almost 3 months already!  Im feeling good, no spotting since 9 weeks...yay!!!  Im having anxiety though with having such a big break in between appts (9 weeks to 13.5 weeks), I bought a doppler for at home but haven't had luck finding the babies heartbeat yet.  I might call the doctor sometime this week or next and just see if they can get the heartbeat for me so I can have a little reassurance...ha my doctor is going to LOVE me! :)

Update - I caved and called and scheduled a day for me to come in and try to hear the babies heartbeat at the Drs.  I went in on Wednesday August 10th, I was 11 wks 5 days.  After 2 nurses failed at finding the heartbeat via the doppler I was squeezed in to get an ultrasound just to make sure everything was ok.  Baby was bouncing around and shaking its booty on the screen so that was reassuring.  Heartbeat was a good strong 162 which is excellent for 12 weeks.  I got a couple of photos as well...The front view of the face is kinda scary...cross between skeletor and a transformers mask, haha!  Its crazy to see how much development has happened in just about 3 weeks since my last ultrasound!  Baby has full legs and arms, and used those arms to have them constantly infront of its face!  The babe was also "sitting" with its legs straight out which is why no legs show up in the face picture :)

11 week update - Fig!
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.
