10 weeks- A Kumquat?!

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.

As for myself I am doing absolutely fabulous! My appettite has returned and full force. The only thing I can't eat is hamburger meat. That thought of hamburger meat is not a lovely one for me. I eat almost every two hours still but no longer feel nauseous. Thankfully! I've been trying to gain weight or at least stay stable but I can't for the life of me gain weight or stay at where I was before I was pregnant. Looking at my scale I've lost a total of 4.5 lbs since finding out I was pregnant. So if anyone knows any tips or if this is normal that would be greatly appreciated! I've heard that it's very common to lose weight in the first tri-mester due to morning sickness but I'm sure hoping soon I'll see some sort of change with that. Two more weeks and I go to my next appointment and I can't wait!
