From Embryo To Fetus...Always A Baby

I have reached the important ten weeks mark. According to babycenter.com  here's where we are...drumroll please...

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, 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.

My baby no longer has webbed toes. Whew! That should keep him from being shoved in a locker or two (for the record even if he/she pops out with webbed toes, I'll still love him.)

In other news... I got my first belly rub. My co-workers wife came in and grabbed my belly and rubbed it. It actually didn't bother me, especially since she is trying to get pregnant and she was trying to rub some "prego" vibe on her. I hate to break it to her but that's not how you get pregnant.  I'm not really showing,I am a little bit , but reality is its fat she was rubbing. SO if she gains 5 lbs, it ain't my fault.

I could fill this post with how easy my pregnancy has been with no vomiting and how I absolutely have loved my first trimester.... buuuuttttt..... truth is I poured out a ocean of tears over my stupid dog chewing my favorite black shoe.When Matt says "Your beautiful" I automatically retort "Your just  saying that because you were just noticing how much weight I'm gaining!" my eyes fighting back tears. I'm hot,cold, and always tired. May I introduce to you.....Ms. Emotional! I can't wait to feel normal again, everyone is telling me after my first trimester things get better, you just get fatter. I can already things aren't as bad as they have been. So I will take my mother-in-laws advice (................................) and try to enjoy this time.
