Week Ten

Still feeling nauseous....I lost my breakfast Thursday morning after I fed the dog. What is it with the smell of dog food anyway? James has been feeding Ginger, but he had to go to Michigan on Thursday. I tried not to breath while dishing out her food in his absence, but I found myself running to the bathroom anyway. Ughh. I hope I start feeling better soon.

Here is what is going on with our little peanut (or parasite as James likes to call it):

"By the end of this week, your baby will have verifiable fingers and toes. The tadpole appearance diminishes as the tail completely disappears. Eyelids fuse and will stay shut until weeks 25 to 27. Both the external ear and upper lip are complete, and the beginnings of external genitalia appear. The average size of your baby-to-be is 27 to 35 millimeters, crown to rump, or 1.06 to 1.38 inches. Your little one weighs in at a hefty four grams! At the end of the eighth week of gestation your little one is no longer an embryo; from now on he or she is refered to as a fetus."
