PRUNE

10W3D - been feeling a little pruny lately, but that's about all. I got all shriveled up in a swimming pool this weekend and that was nice. I'm just having a hard time picturing my baby like a prune... They could have picked a prettier fruit - right? (what about a small plum - without the wrinkles?) Anyway, I think week ten has hit me with a bit more queasiness than I have expected, and more food aversions, headaches, cramps and bb pain too. I thought it was all supposed to be getting better by now?!? I guess baby T. has kicked the hormone production into overdrive - that's okay as long as he/she is happy!

So the books I've been reading and the internet sites all seem to have different time frames for different stages. For instance I had read that my baby had graduated to a fetus as of last week... now I'm reading it has just hit that stage. Other growing developments are also in discrepancy, so as I post this just know that they all grow at different rates and develop at different time frames. That being said...

Baby T. is making major developments! The vital organs have started to work, the fingers and toes have separated and the tail is completely gone! The bones are starting to harden and the joints are working now. Baby has a toungue and taste and tooth buds and the brain is continuing to grow at a rapid rate! The heart is complete and the genitals are still forming and will be identifiable by next week. However, if Baby T. is a little boy - he's already pumping out testosterone!!!
