Two Little Figs

Every couple days, Amy looks at babycenter.com and tells me how big the babies are. Last week, this site said the babies were the sizes of kumquats. (I think they made that fruit up.) Here is what the site said about eleven week old babies:

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.

I have no idea what a fig looks but the size of 1 1/2 inches is also about the size of a fig newton. Here's to our two little fig newtons.
