Last weekend marked our trip to the Boundary Waters. It was amazing. While I'm sure there are other places on earth that are as beautiful as the Boundary Waters, there are none that I would rather visit. It was so nice to share that with my dad and step mom. Most importantly, DH and I took a canoe out to a beautiful island in the BWCA and scattered some of the girls' ashes. I think we both felt a bit anxious about doing the "right" thing for them before hand, but it turned out perfect. There are so few things I have been able to give my daughters, being able to leave them in a beautiful place seemed right. I love them both so much and I miss watching them grow and getting to know them.
how far along? 16 weeks
how are you measuring? Won't know again until 7/7 - anatomy scan
size of baby? Avocado
size of baby? Avocado
heartbeat? 148 bpm at 12w
total weight gain/loss? I still don't know - it turns out that when I replaced the battery in my scale, it still wouldn't work. I'm sure I'm up, as I ate my way through vacation and have gone about a week without throwing up. Edit: scale won't work with rechargables! Appear to be +7 at 125. That's the highest I made it last time at 17 weeks with twins. Not sure what to make of that.
maternity clothes? Definitely. With so many thanks to my step mom and dad, I now have clothes that fit and are work appropriate. I feels so much better about myself.
stretch marks? Nothing new.
sleep? Up every 2 hours to pee. Feel miserable when I do, until about 2 am.
movement? Yes!! In the last three or four days, I've noticed a consistent tapping coming from somewhere inside. I love it.
food cravings? Nope.
gender predictions? Still a girl.
what i miss? Wine. Sushi. I think this will be a constant refrain.
what i'm looking forward to? Leaving for the Boundary Waters this week! Local art fair today.
how are you feeling? Still awful. Headaches, nausea, gas.
comparisons to last pregnancy? The nosebleeds have started up. Not every day like last time, but often. I've also realized, as I've started to feel this baby move, that I think I did feel the twins moving before the end. Things that I had assumed were gas/digestive unhappiness appear to be movement. Somehow it makes me happy to know I felt the girls', even if I didn't know it then.
