This is our journal as we go through the 49 days (step-by-step) from decision to in-vitro fertilization. Scheduling, details, feelings, thoughts; all are recorded here. It is an amazing process, and we felt it vital to chronicle it.

17-week update

Today I am 17 weeks along, and you just can't even tell I'm pregnant (NOT!).  I have been feeling our boys move inside me for several weeks now, and am reminded with each movement that these are our two miracle babies.  I'm not going to lie, the idea of twin infants certainly scares me more than I can say, but at the same time, I am so looking forward to having twice the love, twice the hugs, twice the kisses, and twice the reward.  Kara couldn't be luckier to have to protectors for her :-)

All that being said, here is the physiological update from babycenter.com:


How your baby's growing:
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
