I haven't done one of these updates in a while because I don't really feel any different from before. But here goes:

How far along? 10 weeks 1 day.
Size of baby: A little over an inch, or the size of a prune. Really, could there BE a more unappetizing fruit to compare a baby to?
Sleep: I'm pretty consistently going to bed around 9 or 9:30 these days. I get sleepy! I haven't been waking up in the middle of the night as frequently, which has been nice. And on Friday nights I maaaaay or may not sleep for like 11 hours.
Unglamorous body changes: I'm sure this has more to do with my shaving habits and less with the pregnancy, but I keep getting ingrown hairs every few days. My poor armpits.
Best moment this week: Getting my final progesterone injection on Thursday! After 91 needles in the space of 8 and a half weeks (yes, I kept track), I don't have to be poked any time in the foreseeable future. And this means that this was the first Saturday since the beginning of July that I didn't have to wake up at 6:30 to get a shot. It was glorious. And this may be TMI, but I'm hoping that my urine will stop smelling like the progesterone oil now. Gross.
Food cravings/aversions: I'm still just pretty hungry all the time. When I think of specific foods I want them right that instant, but at least it's usually things we have on hand, like crackers and cheese. No specific food aversions so far, though I did get nauseated Sunday evening while making dinner and then I actually got sick later that evening while making dessert. That was only the second time I've thrown up so far, so I'm feeling pretty grateful that I'm feeling well!
Symptoms: Just tired and hungry all the time! I do think I slept funny a few nights ago and my back has been hurting ever since, but I don't think that's pregnancy-related because I'm not even showing yet. (Side note: Jacob has been wanting to take a picture of me every single day so we can see the progression of the belly. How many have we taken? Zero. Not much point this early, I say! And every day seems a little . . . excessive.)
