10 Weeks

Ok so I slacked and skipped last week. All has been going well. I had an appointment at the OBGYN and had another ultrasound. My estimated due date has been confirmed for June 20, 2012. All was going well, I got to see the baby jump a bit and wave. Nothing else is on the schedule until 12/8 - when we have our first trimester screening. This is blood works and a more in depth ultrasound. Other than that all is good!

Life is crazy busy between work & girl scouts. I can't believe I am 10 weeks today and tomorrow is thanksgiving!

So how big is baby??

This week baby is the size of a Prune!

By week 10, all of your baby's vital organs have been formed and are starting to work together.
As external changes such as the separation of fingers and toes and the disappearance of the tail takes place, internal developments are taking place too. Tooth buds form inside the mouth, and if you're having a boy, his testes will begin producing the male hormone testosterone.
Congenital abnormalities are unlikely to develop after week 10. This also marks the end of the embryonic period — in general, the embryo now has a distinctly human appearance and starting next week your baby will officially be considered a fetus.



Next Appointment: 12/8/11 another U/S and blood work (N/T Scan)

Maternity clothes? Nope.

Sleep? Ok - waking up a few times a night.

Best moment this week? Good heartbeat and seeing the little arm & legs developing.

Food cravings: Still nothing - its harder to find something I want to eat.

Odd pregnancy symptom of the week: Nausea still going strong. Heartburn is kicking in too.

Genders: Unknown and unsure if we will find out.

Belly button in or out? Way in.

Movement? nope

What I miss? Nothing.

What I'm looking forward to: Telling the rest of the family Christmas Eve & holding the baby (not until June!)

Weekly wisdom: Sleep - lots!

Milestones: Size of a Prune!
