Weekly Confusion

Hi Baby B,

It's me again, Mommy! Not much to update on today, but that's kind of a good thing. I'm definitely start to feel better, and a little more like myself again. Knock on wood, the nausea appears to have subsided for the most part! The tiredness still comes and go, however, it is much better. I actually have the motivation again to get things done around the house here; and Daddy's happy because I feel up to cooking again.

After thinking about it, I think that my weekly pictures have been a little off. This weekly thing gets kind of confusing. Yesterday made 10 weeks for us, meaning you have reached the size of a prune:

Your bones and cartilage have formed and your arms can already flex (although your little arms are as small as this number "1"). Crazy! Stuff like that just amazes me!

Now, although we are 10 weeks, we are entering week 11 (again so confusing). But this week you are growing to the size of a lime:

This week you are almost 2 inches long and 1/4 oz, it's amazing how fast you are growing! You are starting to form hair follicles and nails are starting to grow. Although I can't feel you moving yet, the books tell me that you are moving in there; doing things like stretching, somersaults and forward rolls. Lastly, this week you are starting to develop your sex organs, although it isn't apparent to us yet.

Which brings up the good old topic of will we or won't we find out. For those of you who don't know yet, I have always said that we were going to be surprised and I am sticking to that! Daddy doesn't voice a strong opinion one way or the other on the subject so he's agreeing with me. It may just be that he knows how stubborn your Mommy is and he wouldn't win this battle anyway :) I just like the thought that for a few minutes only you, me & Daddy will know if you're a boy or girl and then Daddy will be the one who gets to share the great news with everyone! I get so excited just thinking about it!!

Plus it will keep everyone guessing for the next 30 or so weeks! I will say that I have had 2 dreams that have had little girls in them, but Daddy had a dream about a little boy. So who really knows - only God and maybe you! We've had people tell us both boy and girl, although it seems like more have felt girl as of now. But I know that will go back and forth as I start to show more and more.

Speaking of which, here is our 10 week "bump" picture. Not too much to brag about, but Daddy and I think there's a little something there.


I truly haven't gained any weight yet, but my clothes are now starting to feel a little snugger. And now that I am not quite so nauseous my appetite is definitely increasing. So until our next update Baby B - Mommy and Daddy love you!


Love,

Mommy XOXO
