Almost 11 weeks

On Monday I'll be 11 weeks. On Tuesday I have my next OB visit. I'm sure I'll have another ultra sound to see how B-Mo is doing considering my ER visit 1.5 weeks ago. Since then everything seems to be normal, so I have no real reason to worry, but of course I do. I can't wait to see how big he/she has gotten. It's amazing how quickly they grow! Looking online it appears that in just two short weeks B-Mo has gone from looking like an alien to a lil baby. I'll post an update after the appt on Tuesday.

Here is what the website says B-Mo:

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.

Yesterday, Tim told me he saw my OB GYN on the news talking about the swine flu. I was planning on asking her about her H1N1 shot recommendation during my visit on Tuesday. Tim didn't pay attention to what she said. So I looked up her interview online. I'm proud to say that I found out she is the Chairman of the OB GYN clinic at Overlake, which is the huge renouned hospital in Bellevue where we're having B-Mo. I couldn't figure out how to include the video clip, but here is some text from her interview:

"Doctors at Bellevue's Overlake Hospital Medical Center are offering more protection to their pregnant patients. In an unprecedented step, Overlake Hospital is making sure all women who are pre-registered to deliver at their hospital are being offered a free H1N1 vaccine.
Swine flu seems to affect pregnant women more severely compared to the general population.
Dr. Kristin Graham, Chairman of the OB-GYN clinic at Overlake Hospital, says that's because pregnant women are more susceptible to the swine flu.
"We know that these patients are at very high risk, and we want to offer the vaccine in an efficient manner so that they can get the vaccine as soon as it's available," said Dr. Graham."

So looks like if I choose to get the vaccination, then it will be free, sweet!
