Week 10!

I am enjoying my pregnancy dreams - very vivid lately. Last night I dreamed first that PJs was born and he was an orange cat! A mischievous one at that too - we had to chase him around! Then I had another dream that we brought an adorable and squashy-soft PJs home from the hospital only to discover that we had forgotten to buy any diapers! Jamie laughed at both dreams, and told me the second scenario sounds likely, knowing us!

What PJs is up to this week:

Your baby will more than double in size in the next three weeks. He or she is now swallowing and kicking, and all the major organs are fully developed. More minute details are appearing too, like fingernails and peach-fuzz hair. The external sex organs are beginning to show and in a few weeks they will be developed enough to tell whether you're going to have a boy or a girl.

The fetus is only about 3 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighs less than 4 grams - the size of a plum. Even so, it's busily swallowing and kicking.

The vital organs -- the liver, kidneys, intestines, brain, and lungs -- are fully formed and functional, while the head is almost half the length of the entire body. The forehead temporarily bulges and sits high on the head, but later will change into a more human-like feature. If you could take a look at your baby this week, you'd be able to see the clear outline of his spine. Spinal nerves stretch out from the spinal cord.
