8 Weeks

Here's babycenters version of what's happening with our babies this week! "Your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. His arms have lengthened, too, and his hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart. His knee joints have formed, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways."
Only 30 more weeks to go! Steph's doctor will induce her at 38 weeks since we are having twins. She made it that far last time with twins. I wonder how far her body would last if she wasn't induced...she's amazing!!
I decided to use this photo this week instead of the one with two babies because this photo is closer up and you see the baby's details better. Just image that there are two babies! I found this 3D ultrasound photo on babycenter also, the baby is 8 weeks along. It's cheeks are so adorable!!!
