10 Weeks

Well the doctor moved my due date yesterday to June 7th. So yesterday was technically 10 weeks.

How far along? 10 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain/loss: I'm thinking about 4 lbs

How Big is Baby?: Your baby is now about an inch long and weighs five grams, or one-sixth of an ounce, roughly the size of a garden beetle

Maternity clothes? Soon, I think we're going to go sometime this week.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: I've hit the hunger week, I woke up last night to have a bowl of cereal.

Best moment this week: Seeing the baby!!! Heartbeat of 180bpm and a moving baby

Movement: None.

Food cravings: Ice cream.

Gender: 30 more weeks, but John says he is definitely feeling it's a girl and started referring to Cookie as she every now and then. However, we both thought the twins were both girls, and we were absolutely wrong.

Labor Signs: No way.

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I am looking forward to: Sharing the news at Thanksgiving.

Weekly Wisdom: Hormones will rule your life. You will get angry and cry at the washing machine, the tv, the cats and then you will be so mushy that you have to go love on the cats all within 2 minutes.

Milestones: This end of the two-month mark is a landmark date for your baby. It's looking more human all the time. If you could look inside, you'd see a thumb tip-size translucent creature that's unmistakably human. Kidneys, lungs, genitals, and the gastrointestinal tract are all present, though far from fully formed. Your baby's bones begin to form in his limbs, a process called ossification. The floor plan for your baby's structure has been laid down, and the next thirty weeks will be about expanding and developing on this blueprint. If your baby is a boy, his testes are already producing testosterone. A Doppler handheld device can usually detect a fetal heartbeat by this point. Once the heartbeat is detectable, your chances of miscarrying in the first trimester are immediately lower: between five and ten percent.

God,
I can't thank you enough for our miracle. Thank you for allowing me to love this baby more than I've ever loved in my life, and I haven't even met Cookie yet.
