Week 11: The babies are the size of strawberries.
Happy New Year! This is the year the boys will enter this world. It's hard to think about all the excitement that is coming this summer with all the snow outside but the time will be here before we know it. The boys and I actually made it up until midnight on New Year's Eve, well, until about 12:15. In the beginning of the pregnancy I would wake up a couple of times a night, I think partly due to the progesterone. Lately I have been sleeping through the night more which I feel definitely helps battle the exhaustion.
We received the genetic results and all came back normal, which was not a surprise but always a relief and reassurance along this exciting journey. The nurse also said they could confirm there was at least one boy in there. I joked with her saying there better be two since they spit from the same embryo! Two healthy little boys growing right on track.
What's going on in there: The babies ears have migrated closer to their final destination on either side of their cute little heads. The babies head's account for about half of their body length! Bye-bye, webbed hands and feet. The boys fingers and toes are separating and looking like real baby parts. Fingernails and toenails are beginning to develop.
Next appointment: 1/21/2021 for the 13 week ultrasound.
Feeling: Feeling pretty good this last week. Taking time off for the holidays gave me plenty of down time when needed. I'm getting my appetite back, and while the boys seem to crave sweets and spicy things, my stomach needs some more time to adjust. While pregnant your digestive system slows down, so I have to remember to eat smaller meals so my stomach doesn't get upset. While comfortable, all symptoms are much more manageable than constant nausea so I can't complain!
