Week 11: Lime. Average fetus — 4.1 cm, 7 grams. Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming - setting up a significantly more attractive future.____________________________________________________________________
It's now a lime!! And this baby is making it's presence known — my waistline is growing and I am already having to wear my maternity clothing. Sure is comfy :D
I had my other doctor visit today.. the dreaded physical *shudder*. It wasn't that bad, but they are never GOOD! But it's not like they can do that much poking around, gentle gentle!! Was kind of disappointed that I didn't get a chance to hear the heartbeat, as the doctor said my cervix is tilted. Strange.. I don't remember being told this at all with my pregnancy with Ben, but then again not every pregnancy is alike! But good news is that I only gained half a pound, and I booked my ultrasound for November!! I will be almost 21 weeks, which means there is a good chance of finding the sex of the baby, perhaps without the added cost of the 4D scan (cha-CHING!).
I am thinking that I may want to change doctors though.. not saying that my current one isn't good, but I just don't know if I will get that relationship I would like to have with my doctor. My last one was GREAT, and I wish I could go see him again but it is too far to travel. I just feel that I have to ask too many questions, that certain things should be brought up by them and not me. I dunno. My next appointment is on a different day, which means I see someone different, and perhaps I will get a better feeling from him/her.

I love how your baby has grown from the size of a sweetpea to a lime! Do you know I didn't know I had a tipped uterus until after I had my kids! That was the first I'd heard of it, weird aye?
I'm sorry you can't go to your previous doctor Cynthia. Hopefully you will be able to find someone you are "happier" with or, that this doctor will start "growing" on you! xxx
This is so fun to read! Hello again, missy! I was away in Edmonton, then SF, then Tofino. Life begins anew tomorrow - summer is officially over and my projects kick up again so I will talk to you then about that stuff.
CONGRATS on the wee developing lime! I LOVE this blog, sweetie. So cool to see. Hopefully I will be going through this soon too!

I suppose a lime is a much cuter idea than a prune!
Whip those doctors, and if you're not happy with that one shop around. He sounded a bit 'flat' when you described him.
