10 weeks?!

So according to my last period I COULD BE as far along as 10 weeks. If that is true this is what the babies development is like:

How your baby's growing:

Though 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 has now 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.
He's swallowing fluid and kicking up a storm. Vital organs — including his kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function, though they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy.
If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.
In other developments: Your baby's limbs can bend now. His hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. The outline of his spine is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from his spinal cord. Your baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his developing brain and sits very high on his head, which measures half the length of his body. From crown to rump, he's about 1 1/4 inches long. In the coming weeks, your baby will again double in size — to nearly 3 inches.

your baby's the size of a prune!

Now, she's about 1.2 inches long and weighs about .14 ounces. Her body length will almost double in the next three weeks.

your baby at 10 weeks

• Baby has working arm joints, and her cartilage and bones are forming.
• Her vital organs are fully developed and they're starting to function.
• Her fingernails and hair are starting to appear, too.
• Plus, she's swallowing and kicking in there. (Can you believe it?!)

How far along? 10 weeks possibly?

Total weight gain: NO IDEA
Maternity clothes? nope
Showing? Yup, definitely have a pooch going on.
Stretch marks? None, and I hope it stays that way!
Sleep: I am not sleeping so much. I guess I have a lot going on in my head and I haven't really been tired.
Best moment this week: When the Zofran entered my veins on Monday.
Miss Anything? Too early!
Food cravings: MASHED POTATOES. My first meal on Monday was a KFC Famous Bowl. I want my mom's mashed potatoes SO bad. The other things I have been eating a lot are cheese quesadillas, pastas, fruity jello, and gold fish crackers.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Milk and the smell of my Scentsy stuff. I just put in a new scent and the cube didn't even melt all the way before I had to turn it off. I think there might be some I can tolerate but I can't get the one I put in there out without melting it and making my house smell like it!!!
Gender: ?
Symptoms: Nausea and indigestion after EVERYTHING I eat, but that is nothing new.
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but stupid things make me cry.
Looking forward to: April 13th which is my first appointment!

2 pink lines x 3

Today makes it officially one week since I found out I was pregnant. It is still really weird to say that I am pregnant. I always wanted kids, I just never wanted to be pregnant. I think the whole thing is really weird. Rufino and I had talked about having kids, EVENTUALLY. After we move out of Wapato and after we both finish school. I am done in June and his end date is TBA. So to say this was a surprise is an understatement.

According to my last period, which was January 22nd I am 10 weeks! How did I miss all the signs for so long? Well, I am ALWAYS super tired so when I became even more tired in February I didn't really think anything of it. I also started to not feel so well and I got FOUR cold sores, but I just thought it was from student teaching and being around kids all the time. It wasn't until March 11th when we drove to Puyallup to get a new car that I really started not feeling well. I just thought it was from riding in the car, I have always had a problem with getting car sick, and even though my brothers try to make me admit it was on purpose so I could have the front seat, it really isn't. So in Puyallup the car salesman drove us around a lot and I felt SO sick. The smell of the car made me feel sick, but I didn't throw up. Throughout the week I started feeling worse and worse and begin throwing up. It was like a snowball effect and by Sunday I could not keep anything down. Prior to that I could manage to eat soup and mac n cheese. Rufino kept asking me if I was pregnant I kept telling him no. I really didn't think I was because this is how I felt a few months ago and then my period started. Finally Saturday night (3/24) after I had consumed the last of the 7 up I told him I was going to go buy some more and get a pregnancy test, just because the flu should not last this long. So Rufino went to work and I took the test. And then I took another. Both times 2 pink lines showed up right away.

OH SHIT!!

This was not in our plan. I didn't know whether or not to call Rufino right away because he was working so I waited. Finally I called him for another reason and he proceeds to tell me that he thinks he has what I have because he feels sick to his stomach too. That is when I tell him, "There is no way you can have what I have." And he says, "Oh yeah, why is that?" And I tell him, "You know." His second guess what right. Let's just say he wasn't very happy. That type of news is a lot for a guy to take in. It was a lot for me to take in, but I think I handle things better.

So the day after the positive tests I begin to feel worse and worse. At about 7am I ate some mac n cheese and that was the last time I would be able to keep anything down until Monday afternoon. Sunday afternoon I called my parents and told them and then that evening I called my grandparents who just all happened to be eating dinner together and told them the news. Everyone else was definitely more excited for the baby than Rufino and I were.

So Monday morning after puking ALL night, I impatiently wait for my chose OBGYN to open for business. I felt so sick and I just wanted to be seen, I did not think it would be difficult to schedule an appointment, but I was wrong. They couldn't see me until April 13th. I began to panic thinking I would have to feel this crappy until April 13th! Luckily the nurse suggested that I go to the ER and get fluids, she also told me that they would prescribe me some medicine. So I hop in my car with puke bags. I literally only made it a block away before throwing up. So I get to the ER and I look like death, because a week of puking will do that to you. They get me into a room right away but it is a like a makeshift room where they keep supplies that smell like rubber. GROSS. The nurse came quickly but the ARNP didn't come for an hour. Eventually they hooked me up to an IV and inserted the anti-nausea medicine into my veins, and I had some relief! I got the the hospital room at 10:45am and I left the hospital at about 3pm. It was a LONG day. I immediately went to get my prescription filled for Zofran, excepted I was shocked to find out they only gave me 30 pills!!! and you are supposed to take them every 4-6 hours. I will be begging for another subscription on Monday!

Life on Zofran has been soooo much easier. I begin to feel sick about 3.5 hours after taking it, but I try to stretch it out. I felt so much better that Tuesday I went grocery shopping after class and felt like my normal self. So as I walked past the bargain section at Wal Mart I picked up an .88 pregnancy test, thinking MAYBE it was false and I'm not pregnant anymore, but the 2 pink lines proved otherwise.
