"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!" Psalm 127:3-5a

Mommy/LilBit Update: Week 10

WEEK 10 (well 10 1/2 now...) 
I officially have a little baby bump!

Feeling: I'm still feeling tired quite a bit. Still no morning sickness (yay!) but feeling queasy a few times each day, mainly around meal times. 

Cravings: potatoes (including chips and fries), fruit, and pickles. Lays Dill Pickle chips take care of two of those at once, lol!

Food aversions: No new food aversions, but I do like deviled eggs and chocolate ice cream again! Yay!

Weight gain: 5lbs (total and since last update)

LilBit: The baby is the size of a kumquat. Since we couldn't find a kumquat at the store, we found something very similar in size a mini peach! He/she has completed the most critical portion of development and is now in the "fetal period" where the tissues and organs rapidly grow and mature. Tiny nails are forming on the fingers and toes and LilBit is beginning to grow some peach fuzz! (Yay, tie in to the peach!) LilBit is swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm and all vital organs are in place and starting to function though development will continue. Also, LilBit can bend his/her limbs now! He/she is about 1 1/4" from crown to rump. (Info from BabyCenter app)

Baby purchases: none
