Well yesterday was officially 10 weeks. I've been struggling with a lot of back pain, so I went to the doctor on Thursday to make sure everything was ok. I just hurt my back muscles pretty good, I have to take it easy. When I was there though, they did an ultrasound just to double check that baby was all good.
I call this the little ghost picture. Baby looks like Casper the ghost to me in this picture. Baby was wiggling around like crazy though during the ultrasound.
Baby is the size of a prune or kumquat (still never seen a kumquat). Baby is approximately a little over an inch long and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce. So tiny, yet baby has already completed the most critical parts of development. Baby is already forming fingernails and hair. Also is already swallowing and kicking. So crazy that baby is only 10 weeks and already has fingernails.
I have another doctor appointment on Wednesday, thats my actual next scheduled appointment. Only 5 more weeks until we find out if baby is a he or she! The Ramzi theory goes off of which side the placenta is on, and according to that, this one is a girl. We will see if it's right!
so excited for you! and glad that this time around you're not feeling as sick!
