Protection for the 11 week old fetus for life

I sure hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This holiday has been nice to not do anything at all (related to school). We have been able to just relax and Chill out.

Baby this week:
11 weeks old
Size of a large plum (2.5 in, .5 oz)
Digestive system is starting to work better and stronger
Making plenty of white blood cells

Me this week:
Stomach is starting to pouch out
Haven't had an easy week.... Feeling a lot more queasy than usual, but no throwing up still
Having a hard time swallowing certain things, like pills for example

In other news, I started watching Bones on Netflix this break. I have seen at least two episodes so far that have to do with young children rather being killed or kidnapped. I have experienced my greatest fear so far...

I will protect my children with my life until the moment I die. I cannot think of anything worse than having my children experience the kind of pain that some do in this world. Obviously pain is not going to evade them completely. They will have their heart broken, have wounds that a kiss from mom or dad will fix, heck probably even some surgery. However, I will always protect them from the unnecessary hurts and pains of the world.

You've already got that mother bear coming out! :) I think it is every mother's hope that she can protect and shelter her children so I think you are already on the road towards being a great mom full of love and concern for your baby that isn't even born yet.
