Miracles...

Here are some photos and info from a site I reference below--isn't pregnancy amazing??!! I am still marveling that there are two of these guys inside me! Oh, and I did dream last night that they are both boys...hmmmm... one had really dark hair and he was wearing Harry Potter glasses and I told him his name was James (which is one of our boy name picks and also Harry Potter's dad's name--HA!) and then I told the other one we didn't have a name for him yet but we were working on it. I usually don't take my dreams lightly because they have been fairly accurate in the past. But, I will also allow the next two ultrasounds the weight they deserve! So James is one of our names and Maisy is still fairly solid for a girl...the other two names are taking a little longer! By the time we know their gender we will probably know their names for sure. Anyway, enjoy these pix and info--I know I did!!


The following information is from this site: http://www.pregnancy.org/pregnancy/fetaldevelopment1.php
Week Eleven
Nearly all structures and organs are formed and beginning to function.
Fingers and toes have separated - Take a glimpse at how incredibly precious your child's tiny feet are at this point.
Hair and nails begin to grow
The genitals begin to take on the proper gender characteristics - It will be just a few more weeks before your ultrasound can show if you are having a boy or a girl! Have you been dreaming of pink or blue?
Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the kidneys begin to function - This fluid, consisting primarily of water, helps provide a cushion for your baby while she's nestled within your womb.
The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice contractions that digest food.
Your baby is about 1.61 inches (4.1 cm) long and weighs 0.25 ounce (7gm).
