Week 10: Bulging Buttons!

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.)

 

Now, she's about 1.2 inches long and weighs about .14 ounces. Her body length will almost double in the next three weeks.

 

• 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?!)

 

 

Holy bulging buttons!!! This week I felt bigger! My pants that I used to safety pin on now sit just fine without pins. And I think you can say it shows..

 

 

See how the buttons are pulling apart!? I promise it looked worse in person. :)

 

I don't really have any other updates, I still feel fine, have no strange cravings and could easily fall asleep standing up. And somehow, the weight gain is still at 1 pound. I think this whole not working out thing (because of the hematoma) is making the little bit of muscle I had before turn to fat. :-P

 

Thanks for your love & prayers!
