Little Elvis is growing! Today I went in for my last scan at the clinic with my sister in tow. As usual I had a couple of days of anxiety and what ifs...but this morning I was calm and positive and in any case I know I can't prevent bad news or change them for the matter, so I just stopped thinking about that altogether.
My Fav Doctor did the scan and again she was all very happy and excited about what she was seeing and so were we! Elvis measures 11w5d (I'm 11w2d today) and moves a lot! We could definitely see arms and legs stretching, the umbilical chord and the nose! Heartbeat strong at 166bpm which she said it's perfect. We got a good few pics, I'm posting here two very cute ones!
It seems like Elvis is sucking his thumb!
And these are Elvis's little legs!
We have officially left the clinic today for the last time, I'll go back with presents in a weeks or so, it was somewhat a strange feeling, specially because I still can't quite believe this are my pictures, but sure it will eventually sink in!
And I'm also adding a ticker today (brave me!) I love those that show the baby size in fruit and this week Elvis is the size of a lime...I thought my uterus may be the size of a coconut and now I cannot get the song out of my head! In dreamland today, work can wait until tomorrow...

What great news and Pics:) 11weeks is big so happy for you!!!
Great post and great news, you got me singing that song too! I am so glad you have graduated and all looked so great with Elvis. Your baby is surely growing and I know how much fun it is to see him/her move for the first time. It sure is incredible!!! Enjoy every moment!!
Now I'm singing along!
How very exciting! Elvis is a hip little dude/dudette!
xoxox
This graduation is full of anxiety and hope! I still remember mine! I am so so so happy for you! Here is praying for a happy and healthy 28 more weeks!
Congratulations on your lime! Before you know it, it will be a grapefruit and then a PUMPKIN! :)
That is one cute looking lime! Congrats for graduating from the clinic!
Aw! Cute pics!!! And thanks, now that song is my head too!! LOL
Congratulations on another amazing scan. The pics are adorable!
So, so, so excited for you! I love the pictures of Elvis. And the song! LOL. Enjoy and your package is on the way.
Great pictures!
Great news! I love coming to your blog and seeing positive updates about little Elvis! :)
Adorable pics! So happy all is going so well for you! xxx
Woooo hoooooooooooooo!!! LOVE the photos! You are almost in the 2nd trimester girl. Time sure does fly! I'm going to guess that you are having a girl with that heart rate!
Congratulations (I've been following you but I don't think I had a chance to comment yet!) So happy for the good news...finally!
So excited for you! I remember hitting that milestone where the Fertility Clinic graduates you to your own doctor...bittersweet for sure. My clinic did it at 8 weeks though....so I was still just seeing a little shrimp in there. Love the photos of Elvis...He/She is super cute! Take a deep breath and enjoy your time pregnant. The scary, danger zone is now passed! Congrats.

WOW))) aren't these the most beautiful pictures! awwwwwww))) I am soooo happy and excited for you, Girl!!!
So thrilled for you Fran! You've graduated from the clinic too - yay!!
Continued good thoughts from here!!
Lovely post. And Elvis is beautiful and looking like a proper baby now! I'm sure you need to periodically pinch yourself, but I'm so glad for you Fran. It is finally your turn. And you deserve it.
So exciting!! And so bittersweet to leave your clinic. I remember that like it was yesterday!
My friend, I love the sound of sheer glee in your voice. The u/s pics are truly adorable! Tiny feet and thumb sucking...it doesn't get any cuter than that! Congratulations on your graduation to the regular OB and I LOVE your new baby ticker!
Elvis is looking so beautiful!
It is wonderful to see you so happy.
Hurray! Love the ticker and the pics! Congrats, Franny Fran! Everything sounds so wonderful! (and I adore Grey's Anatmony, too, btw!!!)
Love,
Maddy
OMG this is awesome awesome awesome! I so glad little Elvis is moving and growing and could not be happier for you! Yeah for tickers! xoxox
Such great news and great pictures! I'm just dying to see our little bean again - but it won't be until I'm 12w5d. But it's exciting to see how much more distinct the pictures are at 11 weeks! Yay for little Elvis!!
Yay Elvis! I'm so happy for you, Fran.
Yay for graduating!
Elvis looks great...doing just as he should, growing!
Awe....so very cute. I can't believe you are over 11 weeks...time is really flying.
Oh Fran, this post makes my heart swell and my eyes well. Look at that precious, perfect little baby! I LOVE it!
As for not thinking about the negative, good on you! Relish each and every second you are pregnant, because in 29 weeks (or less), you'll have a squaling, pink baby in your arms.:)
The one thing I can' wait for is for you to feel movement. I totally miss that, and I can't wait to feel it again myself. It is just so incredible.
Sending all of your clan my love!
those pics are awesome.
