Holy cow - 11 weeks already!

I can't believe that I just have 1 week to go until I am out of the 1st trimester! Once I hit that mark, I will be able to share the news with my co-workers and my students! They are going to be so excited! There is just something about being out of the 1st trimester before you want everyone to know! Anyways, I am feeling much better! My appetite is good - actually today I ate 3 full meals, and my energy is starting to come back. My naps are down to about an hour a day, but the waking during the night is becoming more frequent! I get up on average of 2 times a night to visit the bathroom! We finally get to see the baby again in a week! On the 20th we have the NT scan, so there will be more pictures to share! Yay!
Here is the weekly update from babycenter.com:
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.
