In week 11, our baby's fingers and toes have separated and are distinct.

Amnoitic fluid begins to accumulate as the kidneys start functioning.  This fluid also helps to protect the baby inside mommy.  Our baby can suck and swallow and move freely around in it.

The baby's muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice contractions that digest food.

The tiny little skelatal bones throughout the baby's body are beginning to harden and even little tooth buds are forming.

Now that all major organs have formed, the most critical period in development has passed.

Our baby has some new skills: flex fingers, form a fist, punch, kick, arch the body, and wrinkle his/her little forehead.
