Week 10!
Thursdays mark the beginning of a new pregnancy week for me. I will be writing a little developmental update of the little ones so you can follow along with our progress. = )

The little baby D's are now fetuses, having left the embryonic phase of development.

They measure from 1 1/4 to 1 2/3 inches in crown to rump length.

They each weigh about the same as a large strawberry.

Twenty tooth buds are forming in each of their mouths.

Fingers and toes are separated and easy to make out on ultrasound.

Most of their joints are formed.

All of the vital organs have been formed and are starting to work together.

If we are having a boy, his testes will begin producing the male hormone testosterone this week.

Brain growth will increase rapidly this week - almost 250,000 new neurons are being produced every minute!
