10 weeks-Lime baby!
My baby this week: 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.
Size of baby: Though he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce
Maternity Clothes: Exclusively. Even my yoga pants are uncomfortable.
Sleep: Sleeping a lot and having some crazy dreams. I had a really bad nightmare one night and woke up in tears.
Best Moment of the Week: Getting my hair cut-It has gotten so dull and dry from pregnancy. And going to see The Hobbit!
Movement: No.
Food cravings: Been trying to eat more fruit and veggies. Having to eat quite frequently, which is really annoying, especially since I don't have much of an appetite.
