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.

Vinyl bibs in the store...

Here are some vinyl bibs from my fall line that I posted to my etsy store. From my own experience, vinyl bibs have proven to make clean up so much easier and affordable! Toddlers can be messy, but you don't have to waste money cleaning up after them. Since these bibs have a non-stick surface you can just wipe clean with a damp sponge or for larger messes, hand wash in mild detergent and let air dry. Since you aren't laundering 3+ bibs a day, you will be saving time and money, and it's better for the environment!

This is an every day bib which is a particularly nice accessory for rib night, spaghetti, soups, stews, chili and thanksgiving day feast. Perfect for on-the-go eating, camping and picnics, just stuff it in your diaper bag and use when needed.

Large in size for maximum coverage. Fits toddlers from 2 years old - adult (one size fits all). Perfect for your messy toddler or for your messy spouse! Kids will love them because of the messes they can make in them, and moms will love them because of the messes that won't be on their kid's clothes.
