203 days left - Friday 22nd of October 2010 - Exactly 11 weeks of pregnancy

Hey everyone! Exactly 11 weeks of pregnancy today, one week to go for the horrible first 3 months!

The baby is about 4,1 cm from the top of the head to "its behind" (legs curled up). Now it´s starting to move!! The babys´ hands is often close to its face. The neck has extended so it can be flexed and also allows lateral movements. If we would make a scanning, we could now see the eyes. The ears are moving upwards to their final position but the baby still cannot hear. The baby is quite active but since it´s so light, you still cannot feel the "kicks". For that, we will have to wait until week 19-20 (almost 5 months of pregnancy).

 Eva has been much better this week and we have been able to be out quite a lot. Seems like things are stabilizing but that we have said before, crossing my fingers.... The weather has been amazing in Seville this week (as usual) - beautiful sunshine and around +30 C during the day - so it was a perfect week for a stroll! On Thursday the 21st we went to fish in the river Guadalquivir, in front of La Cartuja Monastery, and then we went to Plaza de España and Parque Maria Luisa. They finally managed to finish the renovations of Plaza de España, after at least 5 years of restoration!!

This week we have also decided to change gynaecologist. We went to a gynaecologist here in Tomares beacuse it´s much easier than going down to Seville BUT from day one we were not too happy with this woman. She is quite rude and does not explain almost anything. She seems fairly careless and when we realized she calculated wrong for the important 3rd appointment - they have to make important tests between week 12-13, tests which can not be done before nor after - we decided that this is too important to leave in hands of someone as slipshod as this girl. We have to make the test between the 29th of October and the 5th of November, and she gave us an appointment on the 8th of November. Bad luck but waht can we do. This girl is as social as a brick! How can you be so unpleasant when you work as a gynaecologist?!

We now have a new appointment on the 3rd of November, with a gynaecologist in Seville. Supposedly she is a specialist in IVF pregnancies, sounds good!
