THE INTELLIGENDER DEBATE

YOU BE THE JUDGE: GREEN=BOY YELLOW=GIRL

I'm so impatient I really want to know the sex of the baby, I was told by a few friends about Intelligender, looked up the info, lots of positive stuff about it, So we ran to walgreens and shelled out the $31.99 for the test, It has some strict rules, So woke up this morning and followed them to a "T". The results were coldy with a mix of yellow/ green results, WTF? After I went on a web search of results and got alot of moms that got wrong results, So I'm still hopefull for a boy. We shall see hopefully last week of january?!

FINALLY 12 WEEKS!

I'm offically 12 weeks preggo. I let a few close friends in on my lil secret. I want to tell the family on christmas day but eddie wants to wait til we know the sex. I don't think I can wait that long. As far as me Ive been sick with a cold and alergies. The weather is so up and down. I havent been having any morning sickness but cant eat much til late afternoon. Can't wait to find out what I'm having hopefully in 4-6 weeks. I'm itching to buy something but i'm resisting until I know.

Baby at 12 weeks:

While it may seem as if you've doubled in size over the past few weeks, it's your baby who actually has!
By now, your baby weighs a full half-ounce and is about the size of a large plum. Most of his systems are in place, though there's still plenty of maturing to do. For one thing, his fetal digestive system is beginning to practice contraction movements so he can eat someday, and his bone marrow is busy making white blood cells — weapons against germs once he's out of your safe haven. The pituitary gland (at the base of the brain) has started producing the hormones that'll enable him (or her) to make babies of his (or her) own in a couple of decades or so. If all these changes sound dizzying, that may just be you dealing with yet another problematic pregnancy symptom: Lots of women experience occasional dizziness and/or feel faint due to progesterone, which causes increased blood flow to your baby by relaxing your own blood vessels. More blood flow to baby means less blood flow to your body and brain and that, along with typically lower blood-sugar levels during pregnancy, can set your world a-spinning. Do your part to keep your equilibrium by eating regularly, getting adequate rest, and standing up slowly.

11 WEEKS PREGO

I'm 11 weeks pregnant. I haven't had any throwing up but some nausuea and really werid cravings, like greek food, and salads, which arent my typical cravings. This child is making me so so tired, It could be the combo of taking care of my two toddlers and running a house on top of being prego. I still havent told many people yet due to I'm waiting til christmas. I did tell my grama and a couple of special friends know and thats it. The suspense is killing me! But it will be fun to announce on christmas :) Eddie says im showing already, great getting harder to hide!


Week 11 of Pregnancy: Baby's Hair and Fingernails Develop
Slightly more than two inches long now and weighing about a third of an ounce, your fetus is growing by leaps and bounds. And so is his or her head, which is equal in length to the rest of the body (don't worry — all fetuses are top-heavy).
Slightly more than two inches long now and weighing about a third of an ounce, your fetus is growing by leaps and bounds when you are 11 weeks pregnant. And so is his or her head, which is equal in length to the rest of the body (don't worry — all fetuses are top-heavy).

On the crown of that large head (and over the rest of the body), hair follicles are forming. Fingernail and toenail beds begin to develop this week and by next week, the nails themselves will start to grow (so don't forget to add a baby nail clipper to your to-buy list).

Your baby's body is straightening and his or her torso is lengthening (sounds like a yoga pose, doesn't it?). Other poses your baby can assume now: stretches, somersaults, and forward rolls. And while you can't tell this baby's gender by its cover yet, testes are developing if it's a boy and ovaries if it's a girl.

I'M TEN WEEKS

It's going slow but steady..lol still not much sickness. I cant drink soda all I taste is carbonation. The one drawback I've had is tiredness and lil depression, yes depression, I dont know why and feel stupid to say that but I am. Never had this before and I hope its a phase and goes by fast.


Fetal Development This Week
Week 10 of Pregnancy: Baby's Bones Develop
Your baby's nearly an inch and a half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled. In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Though your baby's arms are developing, each one is only about the size of this number 1.
Your baby's growth is fast and furious when you are 10 weeks pregnant. He or she is nearly an inch and a half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled (even with all the time it spends in water). In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Bones and cartilage are forming, and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles. The arms (complete with elbows) can flex already, but don't run to the store for a baseball bat just yet. Though your baby's arms are taking shape and getting stronger, each one is only about the size of this number 1.

The tooth bud fairy is making her appearance this week, heralding the arrival of your baby's little choppers, which are forming under the gums. (Those pearly whites won't break through the gums until your baby is close to six months old). Other systems are go, too. Your baby's stomach is producing digestive juices, the kidneys are producing larger quantities of urine, and, if your baby's a boy, he's already producing testosterone (yikes!).
