10 weeks and Random stuff

I went out for supper tonight and I am going out again later in the week. It is so nice to be going out and Princess is enjoying playing with her little friends. They were teaching her the joys of Super Mario Brothers today. LOL And my friend told her that when we go back, she will have a present for Princess for her barbies. Princess was soo excited.

As for my pregnancy, I am 10 weeks now. I went to this site and they had an animation of a Ultrasound of a 10 week old baby boy moving around. It was so sweet, I almost started to cry. To think of my baby in there like that. *sigh*

Here is what they said about 10 weeks:


At this point of your pregnancy, the crown-to-rump length of your developing baby is 1.25 to 1.68 inches. It is now easier to tell how much the baby weighs since he is beginning to put on some weight. Your baby weighs approximately 5 grams and is the size of a small plum! The baby has grown an incredible amount during these past few weeks, but you still aren't showing too much yet.


This week is somewhat of a landmark for your developing baby. By now, your baby's complete body plan is laid down. Your baby will continue to develop and grow for the remainder of the pregnancy. The fingers and toes have separated and the tail has dissappeared now. Your baby has taste and tooth buds at this point, which will continue to develop. The brain will continue to grow at an amazing rate and nearly a quarter of a million new neurons are produced every minute! The embryonic heart is completely developed. External genitalia are not apparent until next week, but a male's testes will already be producing testoterone.


Because you have high hormone levels at this time, you may notice an abundance of emotional and physical effects. Most pregnant women find themselves getting distressed easily and have frequent mood swings. Common physical changes include the beginning of real weight gain, potential softening of the gums and slightly swollen thyroid glands. Common emotional changes include feelings of unattractiveness, feelings of inadequacy and concerns about what the future holds. Some women are not excited about their pregnancy at first and question the condition. It is not uncommon to get upset easily, cry at the slightest things, feel moody or drift on daydreams.


Here are my pregnancy stats:
