During week 10 the tail has completely dissapeared from the fetus.  Which is a very important thing, lest we name our child ‘fido’ or similar.

The baby websites all make reference to the fetus being as big as a plum right now.  I don’t like plums.  I don’t eat them.  Still, plum this, plum that…

All I can imagine is one of these inside of Jolene at this time:

Course, it’s supposed to look more like this, a fetus at 10 weeks:

I guess the head kinda looks like a little plum.  I dunno.

It has taste buds  now, too.  Which means I guess that it’s going to develop it’s love of peanut butter.

The websites also say that there will be mood swings and such at this time because of changing hormones.  In the wife, not the fetus.  I haven’t noticed any yet.  Jolene is, as always, just delightful.  She’s still exhausted all the time though.  Oh, and they say her gums might bleed.  I’m not sure why.  Are babies a leading cause of the gum disease gingivitis?
