11 weeks gestation (13 weeks)

This past Thursday was another week counted toward my due date.

Here is some info on baby:
Week 13 marks a milestone for your baby-to-be. Developmentally speaking she's no longer an embryo, but a fetus. She's looking—and acting—more and more like a baby every day. She appears to be resting because her eyelids have formed and are fused together, but her arms and legs move and twitch (although you probably can't feel it … yet). She can suck her thumb, too.
Your baby is about the size of a lime! She's growing heavier at around .5 to .7 ounces and is getting longer at about three inches long (crown to rump).

And me: I am feeling much better now. I still have a hard time chopping and cooking garlic (expect cooking in a soup). I am able to chop onions now. I have less nausea except when I smell Roseau and have winding bus rides, especially one after another!
I crave Mexican and Chinese food always. Last Sunday we had a chicken soup with bean thread noodles (you know, the clear Chinese thin noodles, saiphoon) and then taco salad. Today we had nachos. Tomorrow I plan bean burritos. Hopefully I can find a good recipe for homemade enchilada sauce and then I can make enchiladas.
I have been making my own sauces and seasonings since it is hard or impossible to buy certain ones here. The food that most locals cook is basic and very bland. They use salt to make up for lack of seasonings.
The seasonings they have here don't always make it into their cooking. Fresh seasonings I enjoy here are: thyme, parsley, seasoning peppers, chives (pronounced sive), green onion, yellow onion, garlic, seasoning celery (not as big as the US variety), and bay leaf. Every recipe I make, i add extra seasonings.
