10 Weeks Today!

Made it another week! Although this was a short work week since I am dying for my next OB appt. at 11 weeks it seemed like this week dragged on. The space between appts. in the first trimester is a killer. I know that after my 11 week appt. I will have to wait like 6 or 7 weeks for an appt. but I feel like if I can just make it to the second trimester I will really be able to breathe a little easier and not worry that each little pinch and tug is something bad.

Still no symptoms. I did have a pretty bad headache for 2 days this week, but I remedied it with a can of Pepsi. Who knew a can of Pepsi could do the trick? I was after the caffeine in it and it worked! Had I known that I would have drank it on day one. But that's it-- a headache. I am starting to feel really lucky! My energy levels have been pretty good too- walking every morning.

I haven't mentioned it on here yet, but my best friend and roommate from college is pregnant too. Actually-- 2 of them. One is due June 15th and the other is just a few weeks ahead of me. Very exciting to have 2 close friends that I can share this with. No matter how hard our struggle was, I was always thrilled for those around me that were able to get pregnant, but being able to share this experience with them is so much better!

Well...10 weeks today-- A prune. (is that what a prune really looks like?)

With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will too.)
