10 Weeks

Pregnancy Update April 30, 2012

10 Weeks Night

10 Weeks Morning

Is it just me, or does the morning picture look smaller than the night?? I know I definitely FEEL smaller in the mornings.

How far along: 10 weeks.

Size of baby: 1.2 inches, .14 oz. - a "Prune".

What developed this past week: All vital organs have formed and are beginning to function! Now the baby is growing tiny nails on the fingers and toes and little buds for teeth that will stay in the gums until the baby is around 6 months old.

Weight Gain: Officially gained a pound! :)

Maternity clothes: Starting to wear more maternity shirts, but not into maternity pants yet (though I tried on a pair and the demi-panel seems so comfy!). Got an early 1st Mother's Day gift from my Mom;  cute new maternity shirts!! :) So fun that getting them made me as happy as it made her to give them!

Gender:  8 more weeks.

Movement: Wishing I could feel movement already! I've had 4 migraines in the last 4 weeks, and each time I drink mountain dew for the caffeine (main ingredient in Excedrin). It seems to work, but I'd like to feel what it's causing my little baby gymnast to do - flips, handstands, etc...

Sleep: I'm sleeping well still - trying to get used to a pillow between my knees and a thicker pillow under my neck so that I can sleep mostly on my side. I am still not exhausted throughout the day, but I am ready for bed by 10pm and don't feel ready to get up until I've had 9-10 hours of sleep.

What I miss: Nothing right now...

Cravings: No cravings, but I prefer salty over sweet... though some of each works too!

Best moment this week: Seeing Baby on another sonogram! And hearing his/her heartbeat!!! (another post)

Random thing to remember: Throughout this week, I stopped being SO SO hungry all the time. Don't get me wrong - I still eat plenty, especially in the mornings my stomach growls a lot, but I don't feel like I need to eat every 2-3 hours all day, every day anymore. YAY! That was getting annoying... :)

What I am looking forward to: My belly growing more and more in the next few weeks as my uterus gets big enough to pop up over my pelvis! AND maybe if I pay REALLY close attention, I'll be able to feel the baby moving by the end of this month! Can't wait for that!
