10 Weeks!

It's hard to believe that we're already at the ten week mark! It has gone by so quickly, in spite of being sick. That is a great blessing! Today is another good day, thought yesterday was one of the worst. I'm happy for these breaks in between.

Below are some pictures of some baby clothes I bought the other night. There are 13, maybe more, pregnancies in our church right now and of those, five of us are first time moms. So, Thursday night we went to a consignment sale that was open first to first time mommies. We had a blast looking at all the cute clothes! I know we don't know yet what we're having, but couldn't pass these up!



Here's a little tid-bit on what baby is up to:

"Science no longer refers to your baby as an 'embryo'. They are now called a 'fetus' (also spelt 'foetus'), which is a Latin word meaning 'young one'. Your baby now measures more than 2.5 cm from crown to rump (or 1 inch) and the webbing between their fingers and toes has now disappeared, creating separate digits. Your baby's nail beds are starting to form, but actual nails will not be present until they are about 20 weeks.

Your baby's heart now has 4 distinct chambers as well as the valves within their aorta and pulmonary blood vessels. These direct blood flow 'one way' to and from their body and lungs. The yolk sac has now disappeared and your baby's blood is being produced by their liver. Their blood production will eventually be taken over by their bone marrow, once their bones fully mature. Your baby's lungs are growing, as the 'bronchi' branch out, spreading through their chest.

Your baby is now developing elbows, knees, wrists and ankles. Their bones are initially soft and flexible (made of cartilage) and muscle tissue is now forming between their skin and bones. Your baby's neck is more developed, allowing them to slightly lift and turn their head! Your baby may now be able to touch their own face with their hand (the beginnings of thumb sucking!)"
