Week 23
Each of our babies little face is fully formed...minus the baby fat, of course. The next task at hand for our twinners: sprouting two teeny-tiny nipples!

The babies are settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day.
The babies are the size of a papaya!

Week 21
Our babies digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, if one baby is a girl, her womb is now stocked up with her lifetime supply of six million eggs (the number will drop to around one million by birth).
Babies are now the size of a banana!

Week 20
Baby A and Baby B are gulping down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
Babies are now the size of a cantaloupe!
