11 weeks

So, we're almost into the "safe zone". 11 weeks huh? Where's it going to! Stewart & I are back to work on Monday Not looking forward to it at all. It'll be nice to be back into routine, I just hope the sicky feeling doesn't get any worse. Apples seem to give me lovely indigestion, annoyingly!

And now for little Jellybean!

Maybe you’ve noticed… your baby is a super-duper grower! Your lil' fetus will be gaining a substantial amount of weight this week and has already achieved fruit-size-status comparable to a plum. What's more, your little scientist is already starting to explore their body, focusing most intently on touching their head, and especially their face and mouth. Their mouth in particular will provide them with hours of entertainment. This happens not only because your baby is gaining coordination, and is therefore able to move a hand on command, but also because their palms have gained sensation and can actually “feel” what it touches.They're also developing their swallow reflex this week. And lastly, your baby's smelling and other olfactory senses will begin developing this week, which when combined with the maturing taste buds, will provide your baby with their first experiences of taste and smell.
