We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but it sure is cute!

Everything went well with our Nuchal screening, but we weren't able to determine for sure the sex of the baby (bummer!).  Baby Shafer obviousley wants us to wait a few more weeks as he/she kept  his/her legs crossed tightly throughout the ultrasound!  However, there was a bulge that we could see, so possibly a boy... the suspense is killing us!

Next Ultrasound in 2 weeks...

At our visit to the OB on the 4th we were able to sneak another peak at the baby (who was jumping around like a little jumping bean... very energetic!) and we were thrilled!  I received a call from the doctor a few days ago and she said that the results of all of the testing (blood and urine) came back excellent, so no need to worry on the health front.  It has been such a perfect pregnancy so far and I hope things continue that way!  We have an appointment on the 19th for a Nuchal Translucency screening (tests for Down Syndrome) which is performed via ultrasound, so we are hoping to find out the sex of the baby then.  I can't wait.... Liam or Sophia.... which one will it be?!?!?

Your Pregnancy: 11 Weeks

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.
