7 Weeks

How Far Along:  7 weeks. 

Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs. Technically, our babies are still considered embryos and have a small tail, which is an extension of their tailbone. Our babies have doubled in size and are now about the size of a blueberry.

 

Total Weight Gain: Back to 134 today.

 

Maternity Clothes:  Not yet, although some work slacks are getting tight.

 

Sleep:  Definitely tired all the time.  Not waking up nearly as much as I was before, but the cramps still come and go.  

 

Best Moment This Week:  The best moment was definitely today!  I had a scare this week though -- had spotting about every day for the past 5 days.  I was freaking out!!  When I called the nurse, she said there was nothing to worry about as this is very common with twins.  That made me feel somewhat better, but I wasn't completely comfortable until I saw two little heartbeats from our babies!  The doctor also told me that I'm done with my Progesterone tablets!!  Thank God!! 

 

 

Movement:  None

 

Food Cravings:  I guess I had my first cravings this week.  It was bakery treats -- cupcakes, cake, brownies, cookies.  So random!!

 

Things Making Me Queasy or Sick:  Nothing

 

Looking Forward To:  In two weeks, we go back to Columbia to see the arms and legs.  This will be the last appointment with Dr. Wilshire and going forward, we will be seeing our new doctor (once we get one) here in St. Louis.  It will be a bittersweet day for sure!
