12 weeks (yesterday)

Bear with me here.... Since Jordan had already left for work last night when I remembered I was supposed to take my 12 weeks belly pictures, I took them by myself. I'm not big on getting my face in these so I'm not sure if this will change whether Jordan takes them or not (in the future shots). I guess it will all depend on how I'm looking/dressed when we take them. Anyways, these are the best I could get since I was taking them myself and YES, I had to use the mirror. How else was I supposed too? Haha. Other than that, it is clearly obvious that baby #2 is already poking out there at 12 weeks...
obviously im pokin a little more in this one since my arms are down...

and not so much in this one because I'm holding my arms up.

I am 12 WEEKS
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 12 weeks and 1 day
Size of baby: The website I googled said baby is currently the size of a strawberry :)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: At my doctor's appointment on Friday I was (-4). I was very surprised to hear this since I haven't been too sick. More nauseated than actually sick. My doctor assured me this was normal. Of course, I wasn't complaining because I know before too long, I'll be packing on the baby weight.
Maternity Clothes: None yet. But really needing the pants already. I get so aggravated trying to find some pants to wear to work every day. I'm down to 2-3 pairs that barely button. I'll be shopping for some sooner than later.
Gender: We don't know yet...
Movement: So far I haven't felt any movement
What I miss: I miss not being nauseated (I think its worse than actually throwing up) and being able to SLEEP through the night.
Cravings: I'm actually in that stage where I'm not really hungry but of course I have to eat. Believe me, baby lets me know ASAP when it's time to eat. I will continuously gag until I make myself eat. I did the same thing with my pregnancy with Tuff. It's actually very odd. If I do crave anything, it's for anything SALTY. I actually just had a snack about 30 minutes ago, salt & vinegar chips. :)
Symptoms: Exhaustion and nausea. I've actually only gotten sick 3 times.
Best Moment this week: Our doctor's appointment last Friday. We got to hear little "strawberry's" heartbeat. I know I've told ya'll this before but that sound makes it all seem so surreal!!!! :)
They are calling for MORE snow here this afternoon and I'm dreading it. Where oh where are you SPRING?
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday. We're half way to Friday. WOO HOO!
