16 Weeks 1 Day

I never really thought of 4 months being a specific milestone in this pregnancy, but when yesterday arrived, I felt a real sense of calm and accomplishment. Like we were really getting somewhere. This week has been uneventful. I say that with great relief. There have been no contractions and only one severe bout of nausea that was calmed by a demand dose from the Z0fran pump.

We have FINALLY made it to a point where we only have to go see the peri every 2 weeks instead of 1 or more times a week. I'm glad we're progressing to a more stable pregnancy, but I'm sad we don't get to see the boys this week. I don't know how women with "normal" pregnancies do it. They get what, 2 to 4 ultrasounds total? That seems like such a foreign concept after our experience.

Trina's belly seems to be growing right before my eyes. It's getting bigger and firmer everyday. We decided to start doing weekly measurements to go with the weekly photos. Last week she was 40" around and this week she's 40.5". If she continues to gain a 1/2 inch a week, we may have to widen the doors. :) Poor thing is already growing out of most of the maternity clothes she started with. Luckily, most of them were hand-me-downs. We still have some larger maternity clothes that she fits into and since she only leaves the house once sometimes twice a week, we should be ok for a while yet. This is good, because buying her new clothes every 3 or 4 weeks would be a very expensive endeavor.

Dragging this thing around 24/7 is super fun...
