10w3d!

Happy Friday All! 


Baby Engle is officially 10 weeks and 3 days old! 207 days to go!..omg. He/She is about 1 .2 inches long and weighs less than a quarter ounce. In the coming weeks, the baby will DOUBLE in size! This is said to be the beginning of the fetal period when the baby's tissues and organs rapidly grow and mature. Baby Engle is forming tiny finger nails and fuzz like hair on his/her skin. The baby is swallowing fluid, bending and kicking up a storm, too bad I cant feel it yet. The Dr did say he/she was a squirmy one.. lots of energy like his/her dad!


As you can see from the pictures (sorry for the poor quality), I have a pooch. Not a cute baby bump but a little fat pooch. Apparently my uterus has graduated to the size of a grapefruit now which is leaving my pants a little tight. I don't think anyone can tell at this point but I sure can. The days of sucking it in are long gone.. it's all hanging out now, but for a good reason. This  is the awkward stage where it just looks like I have gone overboard on the bean burritos and cupcakes. I told my grandpa today that I feel like I am faking it because i'm not really showing yet. Every time someone congratulates me they stare at my stomach, which is just natural, but at this point I feel like doing a dance to divert their eyes from my pooch like situation happening. Oh well, this too shall pass.. trying to enjoy each phase.
