2 little Raspberries!

The babies are now the size of a raspberry!
They are growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. They are moving those little arms, legs, and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.

At a length of about half an inch right now, the babies have graduated from blueberry-sized to raspberry-sized. They are growing in my womb about a millimeter each day, and are looking a lot less reptilian and more baby-like, as lips, nose and eyelids take shape.
What else is changing at 8 weeks pregnant? A close-up view of our little embryos (say cheese!) would reveal a more baby-like appearance (and thankfully, a less reptilian one). You'd see an upper lip forming, the protruding tip of that cute button nose, and tiny (and very thin) eyelids. And check out those hands and feet! The babies webbed fingers and toes are differentiating now. His or her hearts are beating at the incredible rate of 150 times per minute. (That's twice as fast as your heart beats.)
