A Kumquat and an Emerging Personality

Ten Weeks pregnant today. Baby Center sends out a helpful weekly update that tells you about your baby's growth. Each week it gives a fruit or vegetable to compare your baby's size to and usually it's things like a sesame see, a grape, a raspberry. This week, it's a kumquat. Just in case you're like me and don't include much kumquat in your diet, here's a picture:

So, it's a little over an inch. Surely there was a more popular vegetable or fruit that was a little over an inch long.

Regardless of the baby's size, my only outward indication of being pregant remains the fatigue and ickiness. I read to expect to start showing a month earlier than with Caleb. I'm not sure when I first noticed with him, but I know I started wearing some stretchy pants at 4 months, but didn't take a noticable belly picture until 5.

Well speaking of Caleb. I babysat today and when he woke up from his nap he was particularly unhappy. Nothing I did seemed to make him happy, so finally I just let him cling to my leg while I washed up the lunch dishes. There is a little mat in front of the sink and I accidentally pushed it with my foot and folded the corner up. Caleb instantly stopped crying, reached down and righted the corner, then promptly started crying again.

Is that standard for toddlers? I know that they are supposed to be extra concerned with order, but is that something other kids his age do or is this an early sign of his personality? I guess time will tell.
