10th Week


Baby is the size of a prune!  (And I just happen to have a lot of prunes in the house for comparison-ugh!) I’m actually starting to feel much better.  I haven’t  experienced significant nausea in about 2 days, which I hope isn’t a bad sign! 
 
Looking forward to June 6th and our next ultrasound. Baby should look more like a baby this scan.  Apparently his/her head is still ½ the size of the body but at least the tail has disappeared!! According to “What to Expect when you’re expecting”, Baby bean is growing hair follicles, and nail beds this week.

Without the nausea, I find myself eating more.  Gulp!  That will surely be a fast train to extra weight gain.  I read that a pregnant woman only needs to consume 250 extra calories/day!  So ½ a key lime pie is probably a bit excessive!  Speaking of food, I haven’t had any strange cravings….except I really went to town the other day on bread n’ butter pickles.  Yum! (Although eating half a pie might be considered a craving...or just gluttony!)

I started taking belly pics with the associated “weekly fruit”.  It will be a neat collage at the end of this journey. 

Bring on Week 11 - time is ticking by so  s  l  o  w  l  y…..
