Twelve weeks.

a bit blurry, but here's what we have:
on left: one baby's entire body can be seen. Its hands are near its face and
 its feet can be seen near the bottom of the sac. (heartbeat 140)
right: this baby's taking a nose dive. you can see its bottom half and yes,
those are teeny legs and feet (and toes!). (heartbeat 150)

here's a better picture of the second baby. Not nose-diving this time, its
just waving. :)

How far along? 12 1/2 weeks.

Total weight gain/loss: -2 this week. Time to get eating! 
Maternity clothes? finally, finally! We went out and bought some pants a couple weeks ago because I just couldn't get into anything besides leggings, and even those were uncomfortable.

Stretch marks? not on my belly. . . ;)

Sleep: interrupted. Never fails: 5AM I'm up for a snack, a giant glass of water and consequently, a trip to the bathroom.

Best moment this week: the best ultrasound so far! we watched in awe as Baby A danced and tumbled for us while Baby B waved with its new hands and kicked with its new feet. Baby A showed us its entire face.

Movement: only when lying down and "looking" for it, even then it's so slight.

Cravings: I had to have Pop Tarts last week. Those cravings will be extinguished shortly. :) 

Gender guesses: Peter: one boy, one girl. Me: one boy, one girl. And it changes again! Only a few more weeks until we will find out. (I think we're decided now).

Labor Signs: no.

Belly Button in or out? innie.

What I miss: sleeping through the night.

What I am looking forward to: last week of the first trimester!

Weekly Wisdom: pregnancy hormones may cause you to grow a handlebar mustache. And avoid sugar completely. You'll feel like a different woman, and your husband and post-baby body will thank you too.

Milestones: Well, pretty well past the point where I lost Hugh and Leif, so that has been exciting and relieving to both Peter and I. Also, seeing their distinguished body parts very clearly today on the ultrasound.

The reality of what is about to happen to us is starting to hit: in two weeks we are moving out of this house, in a few months we will be moving to a new country, in a couple more months (if we make it that far) we will have two babies, then I will turn 20, and we will celebrate our 2 year anniversary. At the rate we are going we just may leave Michelle Duggar in the dust. Pfft, 19, that's nothing! Aaand I am totally kidding.
