So we began week 10 on Sunday October 29th. Here's a picture of what a 10-week old fetus looks like. The nausea is slowly slowing, which is a welcome relief, although I didn't have it nearly as rough as many pregnant women do, so I really shouldn't complain. (Oh, but it's fun!)According to the literature, Wee Pea has grown his/her finger- and toenails and his/her eye color is being determined this week. All of its major body organs are present, now they just have to grow and develop. Apparently Wee Pea is able to "breathe" the amniotic fluid now, his or her eyelids are fusing closed for the next several weeks, and the ears are completely developed! Yay!
So he or she is about the size of a cherry. Is that bigger than a grape? Guess it depends on the cherry. Anyway, things seem to be going well, which we're thankful for, especially after my stairway tumble. It could have been so much worse; it sure makes you grateful (and a little more careful!!)
