Week 10

Our little gummi bear is the size of a Pecan - already showing his/her Texas pride =) Haha This week he/she is growing ear lobes and lips. The next 10 weeks, he/she will be growing very fast, growing from a pecan to a mango by New Year's!! Crazy!!

Mommy is feeling overall better this week. I'm still extremely tired and exhausted pretty much all the time, but the nausea is almost gone. My biggest hurdle is finding things I want to eat, especially protein. I can't let baby suck up all the good stuff, leaving nothing for me. I've got to get more protein!! /sigh On a positive note, I lost another 6lbs! Making total baby weight down 15lbs =)

FYI: TMI - if you don't want to know, don't read this one!

Seriously - lots of TMI on the way...

Last night, my boy kept me awake, tossing and turning, crying b/c of the pain. I know breast and nipple tenderness comes with the territory, but wow!!! It felt like someone stuck a long needle into my nipple (not like a piercing but IN the nipple) and kept pulling it in and out just to torture me. I thought I was going to die. It feels better now, some, and I still just want to chop them off. The baby doesn't need nipples to breast feed, right? I can just attach fake nipples and he/she will be just fine? Right? /sigh

Did some research. Going to be getting some Lansinoh (forgot how to spell/say it already..) today. If that doesn't work, a Bag Balm - used for milk cows. Sounds weird but I'm willing to try almost anything...
