Ten Weeks & Second Ultrasound.

We had a great day yesterday - Dad and I both got to see you on the ultrasound again. You've grown so much! You were being a little camera shy though, staying as far to the back as you could, so we didn't get any great pictures - oh well! You are now 3.5 cm long (about the size of a marshmallow!) and your heart is still going at a strong 174 bpm. And the best part was that we could see your arms and legs very clearly and we could see you squirming around in there - you are definitely living up to your nickname!

It was just so awesome to see you moving and you are now looking like a baby - not just a little peanut anymore :) You also had a little bit of a growth spurt, instead of measuring the 10w1d we thought you would have been, you were actually 10w3d - so we got to skip a couple days! Good job baby!

It has been a nice week, just the usual working and hanging out with Dad & Leo. Tonight is Eliza's First Birthday party - we are both excited to celebrate with her! Then tomorrow, we will drive to Kim's house to celebrate New Year's Eve with everyone - Mike, Amanda, and Uncle Scott and Uncle Brian. We also get to spill the beans to you (finally!) to Kim, Mike, and Amanda! And I'm excited to tell your Grandpa E. that he can tell all of his friends about you on NYE too - he has been so giddy and excited to tell everyone! It should be a very good weekend!

Without further ado, here are our pictures from 10 weeks ... looking pretty much the same!

How far along? 10 weeks
Maternity clothes? Nope
Stretch marks? Just the ones I already had
Sleep: Still great - I slept for about 10 hours last night!
Best moment this week? Telling your Aunt and Uncle about you and seeing you again yesterday.
Miss anything? I miss being honest with everyone - hiding you has not been the most fun.
Movement? No way
Food cravings? Banana bread :)
Anything making you queasy or sick? Still feeling good most of the time.
Have you started to show yet? Still looking the same as last week, but at least the bloating has mostly gone away. My lower stomach is definitely feeling harder - and it's not my ab muscles!
Mood? Very happy :)
What are you looking forward to this week? Telling Kim, Amanda, and Mike about you and celebrating New Year's Eve.

Talk to you soon baby!

All my love, Mom
