10 Weeks

We are now 10 weeks pregnant - 210 (roughly) days to go!

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.)

For Mommy...Notice a network of tiny blue veins crisscrossing your already achy breasts and (sorry) disappearing waistline? Though you may not love the new look, these veins carry the extra blood needed to nourish your burgeoning baby. You also might see the effects of pregnancy on your face -- in the form of major breakouts, that is. (Thanks, hormones.)

Observations: I have found the network of blue veins but they are not on my stomach yet - just running across my boobs (which by the way are HUGE) and my upper thighs. Lots of lotion to try and avoid stretch marks, but i have to stop by Wal-Mart to grab some bio oil to help combat those bad boys as well. My face is only slightly breaking out - but I am trying to be vigilant on washing it and not touching it, as well as only wearing makeup when I absolutely need to.  Apparently my uterus is the size of a grapefruit right now...what is with all these fruit references!
