10th week

Jellybean, you're halfway through your 10th week of being!  This week, I've read you're 1.5 inches long, and you're doing a lot of growing.  Bones, cartilage, knees and ankles are forming.  Your elbows already work.  Teeny, tiny baby teeth are growing.  If you're a boy, you are making testosterone!  We love you very much.

I've been very tired and am so thankful to be tracked out from school right now.  It takes a lot more effort to do the smallest things, and I can't manage to do things like mow the yard anymore, much to Jared's disappointment.  Morning sickness is still trying to get at me--I feel it following me all day long, but I hope my lowest point is behind me.  I have not had any heartburn or cravings, but boy do I have aversions!  I feel somewhat guilty about the food that goes to waste because I think I might want it, but then every time I look at it in the fridge, I feel "ick".  My clothes are definitely tight.  I've already "upgraded" my jeans, but I think it's time to do the same for dress pants and capris.

It's one week until you're not a secret anymore, Jellybean!  Next Thursday through Tuesday will be full of telling family, friends and co-workers.  And it's 13 days until Jared and I get to hear your heartbeat!
