I am 12 weeks pregnant as of [04.16.2014] I'm a day early, but I felt put together today since I had photo sessions. Tomorrow I probably wouldn't look as nice considering I'm off work tomorrow, lol :) So, you get to see this belly early!
What's 12 weeks bringing? Good stuff! I'm feeling pretty good other than early mornings until I eat and if I sneeze. I always feel like I'm going to vomit when I sneeze. So weird.
I have craved Mexican food this week. taco dip, tortilla chips, rice, queso sauce, tacos.. you name it. Delicious!
I've had a ton of energy with this pregnancy. I'm not sure if having two kids makes me HAVE to be energetic or what? I very rarely feel like I absolutely have to sit down and rest. My girls keep me on my toes though, so that might be something!
'What to Expect' says the baby is about 1/2 an ounce and is the size of a large plum.
I'm having a hard time believing that we are only 1 week away from the 2nd trimester. Can you believe it? It seems like it's going really fast. Kind of scary in a way, lol! :) Tayler's pregnancy DRUG. Quinn's went pretty quickly and this one seems to be going by even faster. Hard to believe we only have 25-28 weeks until we meet him/her! :) (Speaking of him/her--- I just can't wait to find out what 'it' is hehe!)
Alright-- are you ready for the questions?? They're still a little boring, but oh well- bear with me! ;)
How far along? 12 weeks.
Total Weight Gain? None that I'm aware of-- I don't check at home though :/ I'll know more at my next appointment on April 29th :)
Maternity Clothes? Nah! Just the belly band!
Stretch Marks? I have some from both pregnancies already!
Sleep: Pretty good! I have a hankerin' to sleep on my tummy though. Weird!

Best Moment of This Week: Getting closer to the 2nd trimester :) It's always a good feeling!

Movement: Of course not. Lol
Food Cravings: Mexicanooo! :)
Anything Make You Queasy or Sick? Just early mornings! If I don't eat, I'm a mess :)

Belly Button In or Out? She's an innie!
Wedding rings on or off? On and sometimes off at night! My hands seem to swell then for some reason?
Happy or Moody this Week? I've been a little moody this week :/ Everything seems to either make me cry or tick me off. Poor hubby!
Looking Forward To: Starting the 2nd trimester and finding out the gender :)
Speaking of finding out the gender. I found a thing about 'Old Wives Tales' that are supposed to 'determine' WHAT you're having.. so I thought I'd post some here and see what the results are ;)
