We have a fetus!

So we've passed the critical first 10 weeks of development and my embryo is now a fetus. Yay!


From my Babycenter email newsletter: "Although he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature." (http://www.babycenter.com/)


It seems like the last six weeks have passed so quickly, but so slowly too. I'm assured that the baby will be here before we know it. Sometimes I want the baby to be here right now, and other times I'm glad we still have seven months to get ready.


I've had some nausea the last few days but today I feel great! The first trimester is almost over and from everything I've read and heard, I will be enjoying more energy soon. I sure hope so!


This afternoon I had my first run outside in six months. It was tough. I forgot how different the road is from the treadmill. It was a great run though, hopefully the first of many.


There isn't much else going on right now. I have my next doctor appointment next Friday. And I have the first trimester screening the Friday after that.
