Week 10 & Updates

I'm off by a few days again, but I'm 10 weeks and baby D is the size of a prune


Baby
Though he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby has now completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature.
He's swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs — including his kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy. If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

Symptoms
I continue to feel pretty good besides the symptoms that don't go away, e.g. sore bbs. I'm not tired like I use to be and it's been a few days now, over a week, since the last time I took a nap. I also noticed that my appetite has slowed down a bit. I'm not hungry all the time like I use to. I still pack snacks just in case, but overall that has been reduced. Overall I have to say that this pregnancy has not been bad at all; knock on wood.

So I had spotting #2 this week. I woke up on Wednesday morning and saw a little drop of pinkish blood. It was very small, but of course I freaked out. I had told myself I was going to until noon to see what would happen. I went to the bathroom a few more times and it was starting to disappear. I called my Ob just to let him know and he sent me in for an ultrasound. I went in and Baby D was doing just fine. He/she was moving around and again we had another strong heartbeat at 175 bpm. I see my Ob next week and I'm definitely going to ask more about this spotting. Again it only lasted 3 or 4 wipes and was very small in quantity.
