10 Weeks

Today marks 10 weeks through this pregnancy with Baby #2. I am excited to be closer to the second trimester! Hopefully once we reach 12 or 13 weeks my nausea will get better and I won't feel so tired all the time. It is alot harder to rest with a toddler in the house. I remember when I was pregnant with Aydin I would be asleep almost the minute I got back home from work until my husband would get home. We are getting closer to being able to find out the gender of this new baby. We found out with Aydin at our 18 week anatomy ultrasound so in less than 2 months we will be able to find out if this new baby is another boy, which we would be ecstatic about since boys are so much fun, or a new little girl. We don't really know how we feel about having a baby girl yet, we hear so many stories about how little girls can be a bit sassy. I think it would be fun to play dress up with a baby girl but having Aydin I see how sweet little boys can be so either way we will be overjoyed.

The statistics for this week show that the baby is a little over an inch long (size of a kumqhat) and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce which seems so so small! By now the baby has completed the most critical portion of development and is now beginning the fetal period where the tissues and organs start to grow rapidly. I have another doctor's appointment schedule next week since I had pre-term labor with my last pregnancy at 29 weeks and my water broke at 36 weeks they want to monitor that more closely this time around. Here's to another week down and 30 more to go....
