We put up our Christmas tree last night, and Anthony's mom is taking Connor for the day so that I can clean the house and run some errands. Who would have ever thought that cleaning the house could be so exciting?
Week Ten
Baby is now called a fetus in "medical terms". You, however, may have chosen the name "peanut," "angel," "jumping bean" or simply "miracle."
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 [return to top]

Geesh, what it would be like to drop the kid off with family members;) Oh well, I guess we did it to ourselves. Lucky girl!
