Fourteen Weeks

Big developments as the second trimester begins:

End of the First Trimester

The timing of our posts have not been quite what we expected. What I mean by that is the due date, and thereby how far along, has shifted by a day or day as we progress. First it was moved forward, then moved back a day. We were trying to post the new-week update on the precise day. However, we've given up on that kind of precision.

A Dozen Weeks Now

We are nearing the end of the first trimester. It's hard to believe we're about to hit such a milestone. It seems like it was merely yesterday we were having the embryos transferred. It won't be long before the twins are here (on the outside).

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.

Ten Weeks Pregnant!

So, this week our Dos Amigos have fingernails and peachfuzz hair. Also, they are no loner considered embryos, but are now classified as fetuses. They have developed enough, we will stop the progesterone shots in only a few more days! Here is the description from BabyCenter.com:

At 9 Weeks

Since the doctor officially moved the due date, we can update the progress a little early. Kristina is technically 9 weeks pregnant with the twins now. In that light, below is the description of development from BabyCenter.com

At 8 Weeks

New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. The baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.
