12 weeks

We are getting closer to the end of the first trimester. Supposedly, my hormones are quieting and my symptoms are going away and I feeling less emotional. Ha, apparently my body hasn't gotten the memo. The experts say that my "morning" sickness and fatigue may be replaced with headaches and dizziness.  Well, I wouldn't say replaced, they have joined the party. Lucky me. I just keep reminding myself that these symptoms are all blessings. My little ones are doing well.

My little miracles are the size of plums right now, measuring about 2.1 inches long and weigh about .49 ounces.  Their reflexes are developing, their fingers and will start to open and close and their toes will curl. Most of their critical systems are fully formed and their brains are developing fast. Their eyes have moved to the front of their heads and are no longer on the sides.

Best Moment this week? Scoring the double stroller and infant carriers I decided on for $100.00 off of Craigslist.
