Week 10

Ok, it's a little late, but here is the stuff for week 10. First, our little pumpkin baby is now the size of a kumquat, if you know what that is, and is just over an inch long. The baby is now about to begin it's rapid growth period and we're almost into the second trimester. There aren't webs on the fingers and toes any more and her little nails are starting to form on the little stubby fingers and toes. Her little heart is pumping blood (like we saw on the ultrasound), the brain, liver, kidneys, and intestines are formed and starting to work as well and will continue developing and maturing. Her arms and legs can bend, she can flex her wrists, and is becoming active. She is starting to thrash around, kick, move, and spazz out (which we also saw on the ultrasound). This apparently means that she is just like her daddy, doesn't like to be penned up for to long, is active and energetic, and likes to kick her mama. NOTE: I only kick Lisa while I'm asleep, but it's good to know that she takes after me a little bit. =)

I saw a little video that talked about how her little teeth buds are forming in the gums and peach fuzz hair is starting to form under the skin. And apparently, since she is now taking in the fluids and food and her organs are starting to work, she pees out fluid into the amniotic sac. I guess it's like peeing in a tiny little pool inside Lisa. That sounds a little disgusting but it just goes to show you that peeing in the pool or the bathtub is a natural instinct and we do it from before birth. See, I'm not disgusting...I'm born this way! =)

Here is a picture of the car seat we bought while we were in the states, which Grandma and Grandpa Sears bought us. THANK YOU!!

Now, just a disclaimer, we took this 10 week pic at night when we were both exhausted after doing street ministry during the day, so Lisa looks a little bit tired. Just so you know. But here it is, the long awaited 10 week picture and Lisa is actually starting to show.

And then, well just because I felt left out of all the picture taking, I took a picture of my 10 week belly. Yeah, I kinda fibbed a little bit and pushed out my stomach, but I wanted to make Lisa feel better about showing....hehehe....

Well, now that my little munchkin is kicking, growing, and peeing in the amniotic sac, I can't wait to see what is gonna pop up next on my magic App...Baby Center!
