ten weeks!

my yucky week:

* i went to the ER Friday morning. I wasn't able to keep anything down for 3 days, so it was time to go. we waited in the ER literally ALL day. finally I was seen and my dr told me I was going to have to stay the night. bummer. the next day, they ran some test and found out I have hyperthyroid (and told me I had to stay another night. double bummer.) it doesn't mix well when I'm pregnant, that's why i'm always so sick. I'm on medication and it seems to be helping a whole lot! praying it keeps working its magic while keeping baby healthy. 

baby:

 * according to baby center, baby Boen #2 is barely the size of a kumquat – a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom – and weighing in at less than a quarter of an ounce, baby now has completed the most critical portion of development.

* this is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in baby's body rapidly grow and mature. If you could take a peek inside, 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.

* baby is swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs – including the 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 my pregnancy.

* in other developments: baby's limbs can bend now. his or her hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over the heart, and your baby's feet may be long enough to meet in front of the body.      
* the outline of your baby's spine is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from the spinal cord. Your baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his or her developing brain and sits very high on the head, which measures half the length of his or her body. From crown to rump, your baby is about 1 1/4 inches long. In the coming weeks, your baby will again double in size– to nearly 3 inches.

symptoms: 
 * nausea has gotten better since I've been on my medication. I've thrown up a couple mornings, but not anywhere close to how it used to be! I'm SOOO thankful for that!!
 * still sleepy, mostly in the afternoon. I feel like I get more sleep if I'm in bed when jaden gets in bed, around 8:30 or so. I feel so rested when I wake up in the mornings.
* I'm hungry all the time! (so different compared to last week!) 

cravings:

* I mostly crave whatever I see on tv..which I won't get. (I'm suppose to eat plain stuff for a week..nothing spicy or fried, anything that could mess up my stomach. my diet has been mostly potatoes and kool aid) I've had a sweet tooth, just like I did when I was pregnant with little jaden! 

maternity clothes: 

* none so far. I feel like I need to wear a sign that says "pregnant not fat!" because, right now I just feel fat in everything I put on!

highlights of the week:
* getting to see healthy baby Boen #2 on another sonogram (:

* getting to fix my 24 hour sickness! praise the LORD!!!!! ((((:

* getting to actually get up and play with my favorite 2 year old, instead of having my head in the toilet! ;)
