10 weeks 1 day

Today I am 10 weeks 1 day pregnant. Crazy, right? Morning sickness is still in full effect. From the moment I wake up until I fall asleep. The Zofran has been helping some, but it seems to be hit or miss. Some food seems to help, like slim jims. Haha. Cravings this week, pickles, slim jims, salami, mint chocolate chip milkshakes, YUMM! Eddy walked to the store yesterday and actually bought me some pickles and slim jims. What a sweetheart :)

I wouldn't really say that I have a "bump" yet. My measurements have certainly changed though.

PRE-PREGNANCY:____4 WEEKS:____8 WEEKS:____TODAY:
BUST:_______34__________34__________36______36.5
WAIST:______24__________24__________26______27.5
HIPS:________36__________36__________37________38

I am loving EVERY part of being pregnant, yes even the morning sickness. It reminds me of the miracle that I have growing inside me. I can't wait until I can hold, kiss, and touch my little angel. Ugh, only 29 weeks and 6 days to go!! :)

Though he's barely the size of a strawberry — 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.
