10 weeks

Houston, we have fetuses!  Hooray!  Our little trio has graduated out of the embryonic stage this week and now are three teeny tiny fully formed babies, with six months of growin' left to do.

Here's what babycenter has to say this week:

How your baby's growing:

Though he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby has now completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature.
He's swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs — including his kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy.
If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.
In other developments: Your baby's limbs can bend now. His hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. The outline of his spine is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from his spinal cord. Your baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his developing brain and sits very high on his head, which measures half the length of his body. From crown to rump, he's about 1 1/4 inches long. In the coming weeks, your baby will again double in size — to nearly 3 inches.

Fingers and toes!

But Mariela will be disappointed with the kumquat description.  Not a helpful reference, babycenter!  An inch and a quarter is about 3 m&m's long.  I will not tell you how I know that, but it's certainly not because I just opened a Fun Size pack.  I wish I could tell you the size in peanut m&m's, which are my preference.  Alas.

I am feeling fine.  Not fabulous, but better, I think.  M called this afternoon and I was telling him it's hard to say that it's getting better because everything changes on a day-by-day basis.  My eating habits are definitely still screwed up.  I have a really, really hard time eating vegetables, which is not at all typical for me.  Also have a hard time drinking enough water and staying hydrated-- somehow, the more I drink, the worse I feel.  But trying to improve little by little.

Weight is the same as last week, I think.  159.6.  I will start gaining soon!  Really!

I have some grand plans for taking consistent belly shots that I'm hoping to launch this weekend.  Could use a little help from the weather-- I need natural light and today it is gloomy.  But hopefully I'll have something soon!

Really looking forward to the day o' appointments next week, when we get another glimpse at ze bebes (that was my French accent, if it's not clear).
