9 Weeks 3 Days

My pants are all too tight. HA. I bought my first pair of maternity jeans.  I ordered them online based on a recommendation from one of the other ladies on the IVF twin mommies Facebook group.  I sure hope they work because yoga pants are not quite work appropriate. :)

This week the babies are about the size of a grape and approximately 1 inch long each.

The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.  They have tiny earlobes, and their mouths, nose and nostrils are more distinct.  The placentas are developed enough now to take over most the critical jobs of producing hormones. This should hopefully reduce the nausea I've been feeling from time to time.

Some more good news is since we've made it this far with no complications, the risk of miscarriage has dropped to about 2%.

I'm mostly feeling pretty good.  I get tired very easily and have to continue to watch the clock and force myself to eat in regular intervals.

Today is the last day of work then we're off until 1/5.  Lots of work to do around the house to get the back room ready and with both of us off work it's the perfect time to tackle it!
