Week 11: This week, your embryo officially becomes a fetus. You may not even look pregnant yet, but the most critical stages of development are already complete. During this week, your baby will double in length, from one inch to two inches. During weeks 11 and 12, the placenta will begin to function and blood will begin to circulate through the umbilical cord. In most women this coincides with a decrease or end to morning sickness. From the size of a pear, your uterus has grown to the size of a grapefruit and you may begin to experience round ligament pain.

Upcycled Green Silk and Brown Linen Top in shop...

This beautiful top made of 100% Silk and 100% Linen was once a dress and has been re-created into a top for a mom-to-be. Inspired by the changing seasons in the mid-west, I wanted to create something that was colorful and soft and contrast it with something more crisp and tailored.

Draped to accommodate for the belly bump, this top can be worn during or after your pregnancy. Coordinate with earth-tone trouser pants or dress down with a pair of jeans. This top makes for a cute outfit for any occasion... baby showers, weddings, the office, and other special occasions. Check it out in my store.
