10 Weeks ~ January 30

We met with my OB on Wednesday, January 30th for my 10 week appointment.  We had the ultrasound first and then met with the doctor.  The baby looked great and was moving a lot.  The arms and legs are a lot more developed compared to last week so we could see the baby kicking it's leg.  I think we might have a future soccer player.  :)  

The appointment with the OB went well and she spent a lot of time going over things with me and answered my many questions.  My insurance changed this year so I also had to change my OB as well and luckily got a great recommendation from Allison's sister Danielle.  I really like my new doctor and her practice so I'm very happy I made the change.

Belly Pictures ~ 10 weeks

Here is what BabyCenter says about the 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.

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