Houston, We've Got a Fetus

Last Tuesday was week 10 and we now officially have 2 fetuses...err, 2 fetus...2 feti? HA. Just looked it up and Wikipedia says fetuses and sometimes feti is the plural. Wikipedia is the only place I've found feti, so I'm pretty sure its just fetuses. Any who...we got two of thems.

So here is whats happening during week 10:

Babies are the size of a kumquat — little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce. They've completed the most critical portion of development. This is the beginning of the fetal period when the tissues and organs rapidly grow and mature.

They are 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. They've got tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

Baby's limbs can bend now. Hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over the heart, and the feet may be long enough to meet in front of the body. The spine outline is clearly visible through translucent skin, and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from the spinal cord. 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, baby will again double in size — to nearly 3 inches.

We are in Edmond, Oklahoma right now for my sister's (Mari) baby shower. She is due August 6th, but she looks like shes over due. Here is what Holly and Mari look like right now :D
