10 Weeks

The big ten weeks... I'm here. For a little while, other than the typical morning sickness whatnot and the other grossness, I was mainly feeling pregnant in my head. Today I feel pregnant ALL OVER. Even my toes feel pregnant today. I've been going to Curves pretty regularly to do a bit of low-impact cardio workout and I went today. Dude. I feel it. Today was the first real day of feeling like I'm really starting to show and when I jog in-place, it kinda hurts/jiggles. (Does that sound horribly nasty?) Tim was watching me this morning in my p.j.s and he said that he can see my little pooch. Crazy. Well, my a.m. pooch is a whole lot cuter than my p.m. pooch.

Want to know what's going on down there? Apparently, my polliwog has lost it's tail! According to Pregnancy Weekly, my "baby is somewhere between 1 and 1-1/2 inches in length and probably weighs about 4 grams (or as much as four paper clips). He or she has lips, toes, eyes that are usually open, ears that are completely formed, and the genitals are becoming more clearly defined. The little polliwog you have inside has lost its "tail" and this week marks the end of the embryonic stage and the beginning of the fetal stage!" Did you read that?!? All day today, I carried around 4 paper clips and whenever I was feeling blue, I pulled out those clips and held them in my hand and remembered to myself what really matters right now. I had to do that a couple of times today.
