How Far Along: Today I am 10 weeks along. Due date September 4th, 2013.
Baby's Size/Other Info: Baby is size of a Prune! As baby continues her rapid growth and my tummy starts to develop some extra curve. In the process, my ligaments and muscles are starting to stretch, so I shouldn’t be surprised if I start feeling some aches and pains. While, some moms-to-be don’t really get them, others find these sensations -- called “round ligament pain” -- well, downright painful. Breasts have probably gotten bigger too, since they’ve been prepping for breastfeeding for weeks already! That’s why week 10 is probably a good time to stock up on some new, looser clothes.
- Baby has working arm joints, and her cartilage and bones are forming.
- Her vital organs are fully developed and they're starting to function.
- Her fingernails and hair are starting to appear, too.
- Plus, she's swallowing and kicking in there. (Can you believe it?!)
Symptoms: Some nausea, sleepy and (TMI) HORRIBLE Constipation :/
Food Cravings: I'm back to chocolate covered strawberries. YUM!!
What I'm Excited About: Hearing baby's heartbeat in a couple of weeks! :)
Something I've done to Prepare for Baby: Nothing this week.
Weight Gain: Pre-pregnancy weight: 120lbs Today's weight: 117lbs. Gained 1 pound since last week.
Gender Prediction: GIRL!
Maternity Clothes: Not yet.
