Working on our "family" diligently & actively since June 2004; 2 miscarriages, one Sept 2004 and another Dec 2004; Break from TTC per doctor's orders in Jan 2005; resumed family planning once all genetic testing was completed. March 2005 BFN; April 2005 BFN! May 2005 BFN! June 2005? Doc had "the" talk with us, if no bfp this cycle, it's on to IVF --test tube baby for us? maybe! Update: July 2005 underwent 1st IVF cycle, with SUCCESS! We conceived two beautiful little boys, born March 30, 2006 via emergency c-section. I am now wallowing in the joys of early motherhood.

It's musique to Momo's ears! ! ! It's officially 12 weeks today! If we could sneak a little peak at my two peaches, this is what they might look like:

My little peaches this week:
Vocal cords begin to form - Those precious eyes begin to move closer together - Ears shift to their normal place on the side of the head-Intestines move farther in to your child's body -His or her liver begins to function - Responsible for cleansing the blood, storing nutrients, and providing needed chemicals, this is an important event!-The pancreas begins to produce insulin
Your baby's average size is now at a whopping length: 2.13 inches (5.4cm) and weight: 0.49 ounce (14gm)
(Pregnancy.org)

From FF:
Your baby is about the size of a peach and is growing rapidly. Crown to rump, your baby measures 2.6 to 3.1 inches (6.5 to 7.8cm) and weighs 0.5 to 0.7 ounces (14 to 20g).
Your baby's legs are longer than her arms and her skin is red and transparent. Her eyelids are fused together and won't open for about four more months. Her arms are long enough to reach her mouth and she may begin to place her thumb in her mouth. Her sucking reflex, however, is not yet developed.
The tissue that will become your baby's bones is being laid out, especially around her head and her arms and legs. Some ribs may be distinguished at this time. The nose and chin are more prominent now.
Your baby will begin to practice breathing in the next few weeks as her chest rises and falls in mock breathing motions. She will also swallow small amounts of amniotic fluid which will be passed as urine.
Your placenta is providing all of your baby's needs for nutrition, oxygen and waste disposal, though the amniotic fluid will become more important later on.
All major components of the body are formed and now must grow and mature. From now on, your baby's development will consist primarily of organ maturity and growth and body refinement.

Mommy today:

Last night had a bout of nausea, although it does seem to be subsiding more these days. Same for this morning, nausea, had to sit down due to dizziness and hot flashy feeling. Still steady at 129--only a 1lb. weight gain for the 1st trimester. I thought for sure after Saturday's feast that it would eek up a pound or two!!

Papi: Still singing the praises of his two children-in-waiting! Wants to buy a Minnesota twins jersery, too cute!

When he first mentioned it, I thought he meant for me, then he mentioned again another time and said how he wants to wear it to Mom & Dads!!

Off to wait for the Best Buy tech to come and fix my Washer! Ugh...and this dizziness is getting to me!
