Baby Huss has officially been a part of our lives now for 10 weeks!! I get daily updates about the growth progression of our lil Huss and its amazing to think about this little baby in my belly who is apparently working non-stop! (must have Mommy's work eithic!) At the end of this week our baby will officially be a Fetus! Baby Huss's kidneys, intestines, brain and lungs are now all in place and its little fingers and toes are seperating into their tiny 10 fingers and 10 toes. Since Baby Huss will be further developing it's brain this week by producing 250,000 neurons every minute, I'm sure that means that I will be extra smart at work (2 brains is better than 1)! As of this week our little Huss weighs about a 1/2 an ounce and is about 2 1/2 inches.... doubling in size each week!
As of now, I'm still feeling good (knock on wood)! Apparently I'm one of the lucky ones who is able to avoid morning sickness. I have however began to encounter a little big of pregnancy brain (good thing Baby Huss will help me out this week). At work, I've had a couple moments of ditziness - completely missing obvious things (example 1: I had "completed" a development plan for one of my employees and after showing it to my manager, she nicely pointed out that I had referenced that all of that employees development activites were to be completed by other employees....which clearly will not help his development!) At home Mark has enjoyed the opportunity to laugh at my pregnancy brain incidents which usually occur in the kitchen while making dinner.
Still no intense food cravings, however peanut butter has been tasting extra delicious lately! The other night for dinner when Mark asked what I wanted, I replied Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich and tator tots....he gave me a blank stare.... and we ended up with chicken sandwiches and french fries! (he did make me a PB&J for lunch the next day though).
We are starting to see a tiny bit of a belly bump (or how my lovely husband put it "you're getting a baby pooch..hmmmm) but its still pretty small and not noticable when I'm completely dressed. Which is helpful since I have still not told anyone at work except my boss.
Wondering if we're going to have a Boy Huss or a Girl Huss is constantly on our minds! We continue to get mixed answers, Mark says Boy, Dad Z says Girl....even our quiz on this blog is split evenly right now! We consulted a Gender Prediction test online....Boy; and the Chinese Gender Prediction Chart...Girl; as you can see they were not helpful! So we'll try to be patient about our lil Huss's favorite color- Pink or Blue. Until then, I'll continue to read my baby books and look for clues.
