Peanut is the size of an Prune

Your Baby: Week 10 (Baby Fruit)

 

Baby's now the size of a prune!

With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will too.)

Doctor's Report: My due date is 3/20/11. There is a good chance I'll have pre-eclampsia again (sad and scary). The doppler can only pick up heartbeats at 11+ weeks, so we didn't get to hear Peanut's heart this time. Doctor is willing to do a VBAC if that is an option when the time comes.

OK, now for the General Baby Posts:

How Far Along? 10 weeks 0 days

Total weight gain: Well, since the last time I weighed myself BEFORE getting pregnant... about 8 pounds, but I have no idea if that's baby weight or variations in scales, or both... I think I am going to start with what I weighed on Tuesday at my appointment.

Baby Bump? some of my pants are getting snug and my belly isn't pleased when things (clothes, belts, LANDEN, etc) push on it

Maternity Clothes? I still wear some from when I had Landen, but I can still fit into most of my NON-maternity clothes  :)

Cravings: Zaxby's Zalad (buffalo dipped chicken with ranch dressing), milk, juice, milk shakes, queso dip, baked potato

Aversions: onions, smelly things, meats (for the most part) 

Symptoms: tired, headaches, nausea, extra potty trips during the night, not sleeping well, tummy cramps,  thirsty, and I am having youthful looking skin! (aka skin breaking out like crazy!)

Sleep: dreams are starting to get weird... really weird, waking up multiple times for no reason, 1-2 potty trips during the night

Gender: probably gonna be a boy

Belly Button in or out? definitely in

What I miss: food tasting normal, not feeling nauseous all the time!

Best moment(s) this week: Doctor's appointment on Tuesday when we found out that the hormone suppliments are working really well... I still have to continue the suppliments, but I don't have to continue getting blood drawn weekly! WOOHOO! and Keith getting me a Zalad from Zaxby's! I ate the whole thing in one setting! ... AND My sister found out yesterday that she is having a little girl!!! :)

What I'm looking forward to: hearing Peanut's heart beat

Pictures: (I don't have any new pictures of Peanut)
