It's Kumquat Week!!

That's right! 10 weeks means Sea Monkey is roughly the size of a kumquat. I have no idea what that is, really, but it's some sort of fruit. It's a little over an inch big. And it's a fantastically fun word to say.

This is just copied from Babycenter's weekly updates:

"He's 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.

If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

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

So there you go.

It's snowing. I'm going to make cornbread, because it sounds good. And this afternoon, I'm going to the clinic so the vampires can take my blood, as Zach says. Hooray for blood draws!
