Eleven weeks (maybe)

We're going to stick with the timeline until we find out on Wednesday what is going on in there. Which means it's week eleven. No belly changes, except for sheet/sleeping marks in different places. I really should wait a bit longer to take the picture in the morning.

This week:
- Nearly all structures and organs are formed and beginning to function.
- Fingers and toes have separated.
- Hair and nails begin to grow.
- The genitals begin to take on the proper gender characteristics.
- Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the kidneys begin to function.
- The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice contractions that digest food.
- The fetus is about 1.61 inches (4.1 cm) long and weighs 0.25 ounce (7gm).
