10 weeks

November 13, 2009

"You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed."

Psalm 139:16

Doctor appointment shows two healthy babies, or gummy bears at this point. I love this sonogram pictures with both babies.

We took my parents to Broken Bow, Oklahoma for a long weekend. We told them the news and they were really happy for us. My psychic mother told me that she always thought that I would have twins-wish she had told us!

We stayed in a great little cabin and had fires, hiked and ate. Perfect pregnancy activities!

Baby development at 10 weeks:

By the end of Week 10, your baby graduates from embryo to fetus, which literally means "little one." Your baby has finally morphed from a little tadpole into, well, a baby. Not only is the face more human-like, but that unflattering "tail" (really just the developing spinal cord) has disappeared, fusing into the spinal column.Your baby now has discernible fingers and toes, which will explain the steady stream of kicks and punches you'll feel down the line. The ears are beginning to take shape and the eyelids are no longer transparent. Tooth buds are forming, although your baby won't get any teeth until six or seven (or eight or nine or 10) months after birth. Baby's brain will make an incredible 25,000 new neurons every minute this week.

Baby weighs only 4 grams and measures 1½ inches, about the size of a mondo Brazil nut.
