On a brighter note!
10 weeks today!
This week, "The most critical part of your infant's development is complete. Now you are headed into a period of rapid growth. While a bit strange to envision, your baby's head is now about half its length - Soon the rest of the body's growth will catch up but this area is prepared to keep up with the rapid brain development!
Eyelids fuse shut and irises begin to develop - Eye color is also determined by this point. Placenta begins to function this week or next - The placenta is the organ responsible for both the provision of nutrients along with the removal of waste to keep your baby growing strong! Your baby will be about 1.22 inch long (3.1cm) and weigh 0.14 ounce (4gm) at the end of this week." Forgot to add that this quote is from pregnancy.org
Me:
Feeling skeptical, feeling weird. Got up at 3am and couldn't sleep. Got up about 4am. Stayed up til 5:30am. Went back to bed and up again at 6:30am. Feeling nauseous, dizzy, gassy, crampy, everything all rolled into one. Wept today, like a baby. Threw up twice....dizzy. Slept all afternoon.
Dad:
Asked me how I was, how the twins were as I got back into bed at 5:30am....he's always such a sweetie, even in the middle of the night....
Lots of prayers going out today. I need coffee, I need to eat.
