Size of Baby: Roughly 1-1/2 inches. (The size of a prune).
Picture of Baby: Have them but don't know how to upload them!
10 Weeks: Baby Wolfe's bones and cartilage are forming, and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles. The arms (complete with elbows) can flex already. Though his/her arms are taking shape and getting stronger, each one is only about the size of this number 1.
The tooth bud fairy is making her appearance this week, heralding the arrival of your baby Wolfe's little choppers, which are forming under the gums. (Those pearly whites won't break through the gums until he/she is close to six months old). Other systems are go, too. Baby Wolfe's stomach is producing digestive juices, the kidneys are producing larger quantities of urine, and, if baby Wolfe is a boy, he's already producing testosterone. (Information taken from What to Expect's website).
Maternity Clothes: Not needed and don't own any yet!
Weight Gain: Nope, not yet!
Belly Picture: Haven't taken one yet...maybe when I start showing :-)
Best Moment of the Week: Going to my first OB appointment and of course getting to see baby on ultrasound again!
Movement: Baby Wolfe is moving, but I won't be feeling it for awhile!
Symptoms: Still feeling nauseated but Zofran has been a miracle worker! Certain food smells have been bugging me. Poor Eli I am not such a good cook lately, I just can't stand food cooking smell! Constipation has kicked in and it sure is uncomfortable. Thinking about taking some Metamucil but trying to add more fiber to my diet first. I haven't had so much cramping but I have had a stretching and aching feeling where my ovaries are, maybe some round ligament pain?! The fatigue is much better, but still requiring lots more sleep then normal.
Gender: Not sure why but I have been thinking Boy!
What I Miss: Riding the Harley...and my diet coke! However, really nothing in comparison to being pregnant.
What I am looking forward to: Ultrasound next week. Can't wait to see our peanut again! I am also looking forward to second trimester, 2 weeks away!!
Weekly Wisdom: Listen to your body...eat if hungry and rest if needed! Take Zofran EVERY WHERE!! Its a miracle medication!
Milestones: Making it to 10 weeks!! 1/3 of the way done!!
Next week is another ultrasound...our first trimester screen. Can't wait to see our peanut again!! Thanks for all your prayers and support, keep them coming!! We are far from being "Out of the Woods".
Love, Kristen

Girl you need to get a scanner! I have one of those 3-in-1 printer, copier, scanners and it was like $80? I'm sure there's cheaper versions too!
As far as the caffeine goes, this is going to go with what you're comfortable with, but I can share that I seriously wanted to hug the nurse who told me caffeine under 200mg/day is completely fine. A bottle of coke has 56 mg, so even just a can/bottle a day is fine. Again though, it's what you're comfortable with.
So glad things are progressing!
I'm so glad to hear that things are going so well! How much Zofran are you taking? Can't wait to see some pics :D
