18 weeks
This week the twins are about 5 1/2 inches long and weigh almost 7 ounces, about the size of a sweet potato. They can flex their legs and arms and I should be feeling them move soon. I think I may have felt a flutter the other day but I can't be sure. Their yawning, hiccuping, swallowing and sucking now!
I am feeling good, just still tired all the time but no new complaints.
We had a great 4 year anniversary/babymoon. We rented a hotel room overlooking the ocean and it was nice to relax and reconnect. Our 18 week photo is taken where we were married.

Stretch Marks? No, but I have a moisturizing routine down
Sleep? I fall asleep easily, but wake up due to potty breaks and allergies and can't fall back asleep
