10 Weeks

10 Weeks


Today I am 10 Weeks pregnant. 210 days to go or 6 months 26 days until March 25th.

Our little gummy bear is now approximately the size of a kumquat - I had to look that up...
 
Kumquats or cumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, either forming the genus Fortunella, or placed within Citrus sensu lato. The edible fruit closely resembles that of the orange (Citrus sinensis), but it is much smaller and ovular, being approximately the size and shape of an olive.[1] The English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese word "gam gwat".

How far along? 10 Weeks
Total weight loss/gain: My home scale is not very accurate I'm sure I'm up. I'll probably just go by the weight I am when I go to my dr. appointments. (Next Appointment is Sept 7th)
Maternity clothes? No - I usually can only wear maternity clothes at the very end of my pregnancy - one unfortunate thing when you're already big - you don't really look pregnant until the very end and can pretty much wear regular size (plus size) clothing. =(
Sleep: Decent - most comfortable on my right side - when I don't have to pee.
Best moment this week: Just thinking about the fact that we're having #3 makes every moment special.  

Movement: Too early.
Food cravings: Nothing that really sticks out in my head -  somethings are starting to sound good but are not the healthliest to eat.
Food aversions: Seems like lots of things ... main thing is still chicken.
Gender: Baby will be known as Gummy Bear until the baby is born and we see which one we're blessed with.
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In - Will be in for the whole pregnancy.
What I miss: Eating healthy every day
What I am looking forward to:  same as last week...2nd trimester hoping that will help with the food aversions & more energy

Milestones: My pregnancy app says - Although barely the size of a kumquat - a little over an inch or so long - crown to bottom - and weighing in at less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of development. This is the beginning of the so called fetus period, a time when the tissues and organs in your baby's body rapidly grow and mature. <3
 
Side (off subject) note - I love when you see people you haven't seen in quite some time and they say they're happy to see you around again. Or just random comments that show they pay attention to your facebook just may not comment or like. =) <3
