10 Weeks Baby #2

Week of March 10, 2013! :)

How Far Along? 10 Weeks
10 week and clearly exhausted!




Due Date: After my doctor appointment this week my due date is 10/6/13

Total weight gain/loss: 0

Maternity clothes? I wear my maternity jeans but everything else is my "fat clothes"

Stretch Marks? I'm forever going to be scared!

Sleep: I sleep like crap! I need to see if I can take anything?

Best moment this week: Seeing our sweet bean on the ultrasound!! At my appointment they had my LMP wrong and I didn't want to correct them since I knew they would do an u/s. They told me I was close to 11.5 weeks and I said not a chance because I was here in January and they told me I wasn't preggo. So the doc said she would have to do an u/s for "dating" and I was completely fine with that :) It was so amazing to see the little bean move around on the screen. I just wish I could have heard a heartbeat!!! But the u/s said I was 9 weeks 4 days instead of 9 weeks 2. So my due date was moved up a smige. I'm ok with that bc I really want this baby and Lincoln to have different birthdays. Lincoln was quite the trooper during the appointment too considering it was nap time!!!! 

We also told my parents on friday. It was nice to get it out there. Though i was really disappointed that my plan didn't work out. I ordered this shirt on etsy that said "cutest big brother to be" I was going to have him wear it but the lady lied to me and didnt ship it in time so I still don't have it. So i wasn't able to have lincoln wear it to tell them, but we are telling adam's parents in person in a few weeks and that's how I will do it for them :) soooo at least he will get some good use out of it! :)

Movement: I can't wait for this!!! 

Food cravings: CHEEEEEESSEEEEEEEEEE, all types. Cheese pizza, but mainly cheddar cheese

Food aversions: None yet
ms fatty

Gender: Adam says we won't be finding out

Labor Signs: none yet thank goodness

Belly Button in or out? never went out with little man...so still in!

What I miss: Not feeling so bloated, nauseated and having headaches all the time.

What I am looking forward to: feeling more pregnant instead of fat!

Size of the Baby:





Baby's now the size of a prune!
With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will start working too.)

Size of the Baby:
**No picture this week due to the doctor moving up my due date and Adam being gone so I couldn't take a picture until he came home and I was 1 day away from being 10 weeks so I skipped it!






Baby's now the size of a green olive!
Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like...well...a baby!

Total weight gain/loss: I'm down 4lbs actually. Thanks to this nasty nausea and bug going around our house

Stretch Marks? I'm forever going to be scared!

Sleep: Due to this bug, I've slept A LOT!

Best moment this week: Surprising Adam's mom for her birthday. I worked the night before and when Linc got up we drove the 3hrs to her house to surprise her. she was speechless and it was the perfect moment! SO glad we did it. Even though Linc was still recovering from his bug and I think he got everyone sick :(

**No picture this week due to all of us having the flu! EEK!


Baby's now the size of a blueberry!
Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about one hundred new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

ew!

What I am looking forward to: I scheduled my first official OB appointment today! I actually had a bit of a scare today. I had a little bit of spotting so I called my OB and they had me get blood work done, which I did after Lincoln's doctor appointment for his shots.  Since my numbers came back really high they wanted me to come in. So Lincoln and I went during his nap time (talk about nightmare) and waited the 45 minutes to get called back and another 45 minutes before the doctor came in. He did an ultrasound and since I'm still so early there was no heart beat but he also did an internal exam and he saw no bleeding. He told me to go home and relax. He reaffirmed me that if this a viable pregnancy there is nothing I can do cause a miscarriage and vise versa if it's not, there is nothing I can do to save it...so i'm really looking forward to my appointment in a few weeks so I will feel a little better about everything!

Size of the Baby:





Baby's now the size of a sweet pea!
Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, and chin. Those little hands and feet -- still webbed like paddles -- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate.
