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.

11 Weeks Along

We are now eleven weeks along in the pregnancy. The most exciting news noticeable is we have stopped with the progesterone shots. Kristina and I both are pleased that phase is over. We despised this necessary evil.
 
At any rate, for those following along, here is the development description from BabyCenter.com. The twins are truly a miraculous event, and it is such an amazing delight to understand how they are growing. Silly as it may sound, it warms my heart to envision the babies thriving inside my wife by merely reading the description below.
 
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.
 
She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccuping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
