Thank Heaven for 11 Weeks!

Hello everyone!!! I hope you had a great week. 
Mommy had a dental appointment to make sure her teeth and gums are healthy since she likes sweets and because her gums may be getting sensitive with all the blood she's pumping to keep me healthy.
Then on Saturday, Mommy and I went to Canton with CiCi, Nanny, and Uncle Dalton to get some cool stuff to decorate CiCi's yard before Splash Day. 
Splash Day  will be so fun next year when I can splish, splash in the pool with my cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents and great-grandparents! Next year's splash day, I'll be about 6 months old! Anyway, Canton was fun. I got a little massage with Mommy walking around everywhere and I decided I really like homemade pecan fried pies! 
This week is a pretty special week for me, and I'll tell you all about it, but first look at how big I'm getting (almost 2 inches)!
Take a look:

This week I have a 1:1 ratio between my body and my head and because enough fat hasn't formed in me yet, my skin is transparent, which means I can see my blood vessels running through my body! I may be looking a little strange right now, but this week a major thing is happening with my fingers and toes... they are no longer webbed! I am looking more and more like the baby Mommy and Daddy are imagining seeing come Turkey Day, my body is straightening out, my ears are in place, and... 
My luscious locks are starting to form this week, too! Do you think I will have Mommy's Auburn hair? Or Daddy's blonde hair? Or maybe my Nanny's Red hair!? You'll have to wait a few more months to find out (only about 6 more to go!). 
I am also getting some tooth buds in my mouth so when I grow my teeth in enough I can eat all that yummy big kid food. 
My nail beds are also starting to form and by the time I arrive I bet I'm going to have some pretty long nails, so Mommy better get the clippers out!
Also, my sex organs are starting to develop... it won't be long before the Dr. can determine if I am a boy or a girl! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to know, they want to start getting my room ready and Mommy wants to start making some cute onesies for me. 
Mommy's tummy is starting to grow because I am growing so fast! She's starting to get frustrated because her clothes are getting uncomfortable and the maternity clothes she has are too big. 
She goes to see the Dr this Friday to see how she and I are doing these days! Daddy is pretty excited to "see" me in person this time and not on a sonogram picture. Hopefully they will get to hear my heart beat and they will definitely get to see my heart fluttering. 
Only one more week until the second trimester
See you next week!
