10 weeks!

Our babies are barely the size of a kumquat or a large walnut– a little over an inch or so long and each weigh less than a quarter of an ounce. They are now beginning the fetal period when the tissues and organs grow rapidly. They are now starting to kick and swallow, though I won't feel the kicks for quite some time. The kidneys, intestines, brain and liver are now starting to function.

Their tiny nails are forming and hair is beginning to grow on their skin. In the coming weeks they will double in size.

I'm now wearing maternity jeans! I'm still on a quest for long ones, so I'm off to the gap tonight in hopes that they have some.
