Another week down!

We went on vacation with some friends over the weekend and it was so FUN! It was so hard to come home. :) It was so beautiful and relaxing. The picture in my previous post was taken when us girls were on a walk one night. I got a lot of great photos of flowers and the beautiful scenery.

I felt so great the entire weekend! Well, I did get hot and tired quickly on our hikes/walks but I didn't get sick. I think it was because I was constantly eating. lol! I swear I am addicted to Otter Pops now. Otter Pops, Slurpees, apparently I like cold icy things. Fine by me. Now that we are back I'm feeling a bit nauseated again (I think that has a lot to do with my prenatal also). I haven't started getting a belly yet, I just have the one I started with, but I feel really bloated most of the time.

Week 10 of Pregnancy: Baby's Bones Develop

Your baby's nearly an inch and a half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled. In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Though your baby's arms are developing, each one is only about the size of this number 1.
Your baby's growth is fast and furious when you are 10 weeks pregnant. He or she is nearly an inch and a half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled (even with all the time it spends in water). In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Bones and cartilage are forming, and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles. The arms (complete with elbows) can flex already, but don't run to the store for a baseball bat just yet. Though your baby's arms are taking shape and getting stronger, each one is only about the size of this number 1.
 
The tooth bud fairy is making her appearance this week, heralding the arrival of your baby's little choppers, which are forming under the gums. (Those pearly whites won't break through the gums until your baby is close to six months old). Other systems are go, too. Your baby's stomach is producing digestive juices, the kidneys are producing larger quantities of urine, and, if your baby's a boy, he's already producing testosterone (yikes!).
