Week 10 and the First Bump Photo!!!

Mark and I celebrated by taking the little nugget to see the National Tour of Wicked.  It was amazing (Plus it cured my nausea for a while – if only I could go see Wicked every night!!!). I was definitely getting excited and teary eyed thinking about Mark and I bringing our child to the theater and sharing this love with him/her.  I grew up acting, and going to see live musicals was literally my favorite thing to do.  I was fortunate enough to have a supportive family who were constantly carting me around to play practice, performances, and forking out some serious dough so that I could see shows as often as I wanted to.  I can’t wait to do this with my own little nugget. 

This that are happening this week...

1)  Baby is now a fetus (instead of an embryo) because are of the major internal organs are formed and starting to function.

2)  Baby is the size of a prune.

3)  My all day every Day sickness still comes and goes, but it definitely seems to be getting better.  I learned that this normal happens around this week because the baby’s placenta is fully formed and has taken over hormone production for the baby giving me a MUCH needed break. YEY YEY YEY YEY

4)  Baby has formed arms and legs, and they are approximately the size of this number 1.

5)  None of my pants fit (YEY for belly bands to help hold my unbuttoned and unzipped pants up!!!) and I am going maternity clothes shopping this weekend.

6)  Baby’s brain is producing approximately 25,000 new neurons a minute this week.

7)  I am continuing to have RIDICULOUS, CRAZY dreams..  I’ll be posting some of my favorites in the near future.

8)  I am still tired all the time.  I am pretty sure I could sleep, anywhere, at any time, in any position.

9)  My face looks like a pepperoni pizza and foundation – which I have NEVER used before – is my new best friend.

10) People who don’t know are starting to question if I am pregnant.


Until next time....
