New Baby Morgan!! 10 wks

We are very excited to announce that we are, again, expecting! So far, baby looks good, and is already driving Mommy crazy. I have been sooo sick! Hopefully, only 2 more weeks of nausea and I'll be through with this yucky part of pregnancy! They say excess nausea is a sign of a healthy pregnancy...so I guess I should be thankful? :/
How baby's growing:
"Peanut" is no longer an embryo, barely the size of a kumquat — just an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, now has completed the most critical portion of development. (Yeah!)
This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs rapidly grow and mature. Vital organs — the liver, kidney, intestines, brain, and lungs —
are now in place and starting to function. The liver continues to make blood cells, and the yolk sac, which previously supplied these cells, is no longer needed and begins to disappear. Fingers are now completely separated; arms bend at the elbow and curve slightly; hands are
flexed at the wrist and meet over the heart; legs are lengthening; and feet may be long enough to meet in front of the body. Baby is busily swallowing amniotic fluid and kicking!
