Week 10

Well isn't that attractive? A prune. Here's some info for this week; How your baby's growing:Though he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby has now completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature.He's swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs — including his kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy.If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.In other developments: Your baby's limbs can bend now. His hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. The outline of his spine is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from his spinal cord. Your baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his developing brain and sits very high on his head, which measures half the length of his body. From crown to rump, he's about 1 1/4 inches long. In the coming weeks, your baby will again double in size — to nearly 3 inches.

Yep, copied and pasted it from babycenter. I feel great most of the time, tiny bouts of heartburn but no real nausea, I think I got away with no morning sickness. Exhaustion is constant, hunger is pretty constant. Actually I'm not really hungry, it's like I have a 24/7 case of the munchies.. never satisfied. Per the doc, I am 10w3d, but since I know when I ovulated I'm still banking on the 10w1day (I'm sure those days wont matter, but in the moment now, week to week, to me it does!).

I ordered a fetal doppler to hear the bub's heartbeat.. boy that will be reassuring! I've been taking 'belly pics' and there's still no difference, yet one more thing I should be happy about, but I want to see it grow! In time.. I know. I just hope all is well in there! My next appt is on 5/21 for the 12 week scan, NT exam (nuchal translucency). I can't wait, but I know I'll be a wreck that day just like last time. I want to remember to bring my camera, to shoot a mini vid of the ultrasound, I hope they let me!!!

Today is Mother's Day too, and Jason bought me a cute balloon and card.. aww my first mom's day :)
