According to Babycenter.com, this week our little one is the size of a kumquat or a prune, is a little over an inch or so long, and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce. This week is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in the body rapidly grow and mature. The baby is 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.
As far as how I'm feeling....pretty good! I'm hungry all the time and can go from fine to starving in no time flat. The weird part is that even though I'm starving, it's hard to find things that sound good to eat. Last night all I wanted was blueberry pancakes so that's what we had.
I can't wait to see the baby on Wednesday!
Mmmm...blueberry pancakes. Excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you're feeling well. Good luck next Wednesday!
Yes, it is sooo weird to be dying of hunger and wanting nothing. Bread and cereal are teh only things I want.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you, but nights are worst for me and I can usually sneak in some good protiens and such during lunch, but Kix is usually my dinner.
I can't wait to see pics from tomrrow!!!
Ooops, sorry I meant Wednesday not tomrrow!
ReplyDeleteYea for double digits!!!
ReplyDeleteI am the same way! You better stay out of my way if I need to eat! Like Kkasun nights are the hardest for me! I should try some Kixs!
I'm glad you are a bit more relaxed. And funny about the food, hungry but nothing is tasty =)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those pancakes and whatever else you crave! You deserve to relax and enjoy these peaceful months with your growing baby.

How exciting!!! Glad things are going well B :)
ReplyDeleteWow 10 weeks!! I realized today that I think I'm 6. I actually have no idea b/c if they counted from the date of my last period I'd have a two year old.
ReplyDeleteHave you told anyone at work? I'm so worried that everyone is going to figure it out with me. I'm short and thin and I already feel super bloated b/c my dusty ute has nowhere to go! My husband says I look the same but I already feel my pants getting tight.
So, no bloodwork yet. I go to the doctor April 12th after my whirlwind travel two weeks. I don't think this will feel real til then.
Holla for double digits! Blueberry pancakes sound delish. Yah for next Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteDouble digits and blueberry pancakes make for a great week! Can't wait for the u/s report!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by and say HI. I saw your blog featured on New Blog Friday. Congratulations on your pregnancy, I am 14 weeks along so I'm always looking for new blogs to follow. I LOVE blueberry pancakes...that might need to be my breakfast tomorrow!
