Babies at 9 weeks

Each week we are getting closer and closer to meeting these minis!  So things have pretty much been the same around here.  My mornings start off pretty good but once I start eating or drinking, it pretty much goes downhill.  But that's ok!  :)

I still have all my symptoms, although I am not sleeping as much.  I may even go some days without a nap!  *gasp*  I have been keeping up with my weight, and I have lost 4 pounds... which is totally normal for this stage of pregnancy.

The babies are growing so much.  They are now about the size of a large grape.

The babies measure about 0.9 inches (2.3cm) to 1.2 inches (3cm) from crown to rump, or the size of a strawberry. The arms and legs are longer, and the fingers might be a little swollen where the touch pads are forming. The head is more erect and neck is more developed. The babies now move their bodies and limbs, and this movement can be visible during an ultrasound, but I won't be able to feel it yet.

I have just a few more days of progesterone and have already stopped all estrogen.  I will contiue the aspirin for 3 more weeks and prenantals vitamins until I am postpartum.  I will go in today for more bloodwork just to check my progesterone and estrogen levels.  And I will go in again to check my levels next Monday just to make sure everything is where is should be after I completely stop the progesterone.  At this point, the placentas should be taking care of hormone production, be we just want to make sure before stopping all meds. I should be released from the RE within the next week, which means I will begin to have regular prenatal check ups with my regular OB at that point.

Yay!
