Baby Development - God is so Amazing!

I am 11 weeks along now! Below is some info on how the baby has grown and what will be happening this week.

  • Nearly all structures and organs are formed and beginning to function.

  • Fingers and toes have separated

  • Hair and nails begin to grow

  • Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the kidneys begin to function

  • The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice contractions that digest food.

  • Your baby is about 1.61 inches (4.1 cm) long and weighs 0.25 ounce (7gm).


    • Below are some pictures from a website I found this info on.
    God's creation is so amazing!


    Such tiny feet! :)

      Hi Megan,
      My sister follows your in-laws' site and so I came across your blog - congratulations on your marriage and pregnancy! Two amazing, beautiful gifts aren't they? I'm a newly 20 year old celebrating my first anniversary with my husband on September 25th, and almost 17 weeks pregnant as well :) I absolutely love the sites that tell us how the baby is developing, and the pictures especially. This week I have a teeny tiny bump, and baby is about 4 1/2 inches long! How fast they grow is the most astounding part I think, as well as the fact that it's all going on inside of us - can you get your mind around that?
      In any case, it's fun to hear of someone else in such a similar place in love. Blessings to you and John and baby Pedersen!

      Love,
      Cait

      Congratulations, Megan; I am so happy for you two! When Lindsay was pregnant with Christopher I would often look on websites to see how he would be developing. I miss seeing you, I really hope to see you soon!
