10 weeks

I'm officially ten weeks! The week that wouldn't end is finally over! Hopefully no more pushing back the due date. If so I might not ever have this baby! I'm having a hard time eating lately. I'm not so much sick as I can't find anything I want to eat. Everything looks/smells/tastes gross to me. Poor Jeff is stuck with dinners that suit whatever whim my body took that day. Such as beans and corn bread, or dinner rolls and milk. I eat a lot of toast and milk lately. I miss being able to just eat what I want. Sophy is doing well. She's growing again. She has had bad allergies lately. That and teething make for a very messy baby. I feel like all I do is wipe her face all day. She's decided she loves bananas again. She'll eat two or three in a sitting if I let her, which I don't. We'll be testing the whole milk again soon. As soon as the formula we have runs out we'll try again and see how she does this time around. Doctor thought she just might need a little more time. She is walking all the time now and running most of it! She gets into everything now! She also has a new favorite word: "no".
Mommy: "Sophy come here."
Sophy: "no"
Mommy: "Sophy do you want me to change your diaper?"
Sophy: "no."
Mommy: "Jeff are you keeping an eye on her?"
Sophy: "no."
Jeff: "Yes I am!"
Mommy: "Sophy do you want a banana?"
Sophy: "yeah. yumm."
Just some of the conversations that have been happing around here. She has also mastered two word sentences. "mommy, up!" ; "mommy, empty" ; "mommy, baba" ect.
It's fun watching her world expand.
Well here is the new baby update via babycenter:
How your baby's growing: Your baby is no longer an embryo! Though she's barely the size of a kumquat — just an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, she now has completed the most critical portion of her development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in her body rapidly grow and mature. Her vital organs — the liver, kidney, intestines, brain, and lungs — are now in place and starting to function (although they'll continue to develop throughout your pregnancy). Her liver continues to make blood cells, and the yolk sac, which previously supplied these cells, is no longer needed and begins to disappear.During the next three weeks, your baby's length will more than double to nearly 3 inches. Her head is proportionately smaller now than it was a few weeks ago, but it's still almost half the length of her entire body. Her forehead temporarily bulges with her developing brain and sits high on her head; it will later recede to give her a more human appearance. Each day, more minute details — including tiny fingernails, toenails, and peach-fuzz hair — start to appear on her body. Her fingers are now completely separated; her arms bend at the elbow and curve slightly; her hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over her heart; her legs are lengthening; and her feet may be long enough to meet in front of her body. She is busily swallowing amniotic fluid and kicking her legs.If you could take a peek at your baby this week, you'd be able to clearly see the outline of her spine through her parchment-thin skin. Spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from her spinal cord.
Edit: The pictures are of Sophy in our bed talking to the remote like it was a phone. Cute huh?
