11 weeks

The little one is the size of a plum! 1 1/2 inch for those of you who don't have a plum on hand! :) The baby now likes to play a game called explore my own face! They enjoy this game because their nervous system is now intact and they can "feel" and they can "react"! The baby can also swallow the amniotic fluid and yes it's that gross out week.... they pee out what they drink and then they drink out what they pee... ewwww... but it's sterile so it's ok :)! Lastly, the baby can now smell a little... not sure what amniotic fluid within a uterus smells like but I am sure they enjoy since it's all they can smell for sometime!

 I am feeling pretty good. I have been in some pain with the stretching and it can be very uncomfortable at times, but it's really not too bad.

Daniel and I registered this week at Target and Babies R us. I am referring to them as the "needs" (target) and the "wants" (babies r us). I had no idea what kind of fun baby gadgets and cute little items are out there. My mom also bought me my first mother's day gift. A crib, mattress, nursing cover, and thermometer for the baby :)! It was very generous of her to that. I can't wait until it's closer to set up the nursery. We decided on Dr. Seuss theme!!! Daniel and I are both Dr. Seuss fans and we even had a gift of Dr. Seuss books given to us so we can read them to the baby!

We would also like to annouce names for those who do not know. If it's a boy his name will be : Honor Daniel. If it's a girl her name will be : Lillian Mae. Honor is the name of one of Daniel's great grandfathers and Mae is the name of my Grandmother.

Until next week. Here is a picture of what the little one is looking like around this time!
