11 weeks and counting...

So, I am now 11weeks, 2days along. Only approx. 28weeks, 5days more to go. Here is the baby's development as of this far.

Your belly continues to grow outward. To support you and the baby from this week on, you will experience a 40-50% total increase in blood volume (most of the gain is in the liquid called plasma and not the red blood cell count).
Other changes that are happening:
~Your baby's head now makes up more than half of its entire length.
~Although weight will fluctuate a great deal, your average gain in the 2nd trimester is about a pound a week.
~The baby's skin, though very thin and transparent, is forming and becoming thicker.
Baby's size this week: About 1.5 to 2.5 inches.
Right now your baby is about the size of a lemon.
