Peanut, you are 10 full weeks old! I am a little anxious this week. This past May, Angel passed away when she was 10.5 weeks old. I am worried about possibly having to relive this trauma. Also, Angel's due date was to be this Saturday. As happy as I am to have you in my life, Peanut, I still miss Angel.
Well, this coming week, you will grow to be 2 inches long and will weigh a third of an ounce. You really look like a little person, with hands and feet at the front of your body, open nasal passages on the tip of your nose, a tongue and palate in your mouth, and ears nearly in their final shape. Hair follicles will form and fingernail and toenail beds will, too. Your fingers and toes are all individual and separately formed, not webbed anymore. If you are a girl, your ovaries are developing! We love you very much.
More smells seem to bother me lately, just random things, but especially Josie, our bulldog. It feels like the house doesn't even smell like a place for people anymore. I am also still a bit nauseous, but not as bad as the last two weeks. I'm also moody and irritable, which I feel bad about. I track back in to school on Monday for three weeks, before Christmas break starts. Hopefully it will be a decent transition. I did decide to stay with my job as long as I have Peanut, instead of going to look for something else. It's not a good time for a career change, and I need the good health insurance that I get for working for the state.
I have my first appointment with the midwives at the Birth Center in an hour and a half! I am really hoping everything looks great and that I will be able to hear Peanut's heartbeat. If I'm not, I want to ask for another ultrasound on Friday. I can't wait another two weeks without knowing if Peanut is okay or not.
