How far along? 14 Weeks
How big is the baby? Depending on the site I look at, the baby is the size of a naval orange or a lemon!!
Total weight gain: 4-5 pounds depending on the day. However, I haven't weighed myself since my last doctor's appointment so it could be more by now.

Stretch marks? No new ones ;)
Sleep: Sleep is difficult. Got a snoogle to help me try to get comfortable, but it isn't quite working yet. 
Best moment this week: Officially hitting my second trimester. Knowing I hit that milestone felt really good.
Miss Anything?  I miss being motivated. All I want to do is sit on the couch, watch TV and cuddle with Lexus. I honestly don't have the drive to do anything at all, and that isn't like me.
Movement: I thought I felt some movement a few weeks ago, but haven't felt any since. I am really looking forward to feeling movement! 
Food cravings: Sweetarts, cheese fries, chicken tenders.  Those are the big contenders.  Get urges for other stuff every once in a while, but those are the major ones. Oh actually, cuties clementines and kiwi. Craving those big time.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Red meat, coffee, the smell that old cars emit...the gassy smell.

12 Weeks

How far along? 12 Weeks
How big is the baby? Depending on the site I look at, the baby is the size of a peach or a large plum!!
Total weight gain: 4-5 pounds depending on the day. I guess that isn't TOO bad, but that's only if I keep that rate up the whole pregnancy...which I doubt I will.
Maternity clothes? Wearing my belly band but no maternity clothes yet
Stretch marks? No new ones ;)
Sleep: Some nights are harder to sleep through the night than others. 
Best moment this week: Feeling what I thought might be a flutter of the baby inside me! If that really was what I thought it was, wow that's amazing.  Also, REALLY looking forward to being in my second trimester in only a week!
Miss Anything?  Brain cells...I have had SO many pregnancy brain moments this week. From messing something up at work (not good AT all, but luckily it was small) to forgetting the words to Rudolph (who does that?!?!?)
Movement: I felt what I think was a flutter the other day as I was standing next to my bed. It could have been something else, but based on what I have been told, I think it was a flutter. I know this baby is moving a lot based on my ultrasound!
Food cravings: I am not sure if I am CRAVING things so much as just really want certain things at different times. I have been on a big sweetart quest. Chicken tenders and fries are still pretty much my number one addiction. And soft pretzels are still kind of on my mind all the time. But no cravings yet that would make me leave my house at 3 in the morning.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Red meat and coffee. 
Labor Signs: Luckily no! This baby has a lot longer to cook!  
Symptoms:  Feeling SO fat. Bloated/weight gain isn't fun. I want my belly to officially "pop" so I feel pregnant and not just fat. I am craving some foods, and exhaustion is probably my number one symptom. Still don't have much motivation/energy to do anything.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am happy and moody. I think it really just depends on the day. Well...actually maybe moody. I got so excited the other day thinking about Christmas that I started crying. Normal?
Looking forward to: Making this pregnancy public, being in my second trimester, getting a belly bump, omg there is just SO much I am looking forward to!

Total weight gain: 5 pounds so far I think.  Gotta get that under control!
Maternity clothes? Wearing my belly band but no maternity clothes yet
Stretch marks? No new ones ;)
Sleep: Some nights are harder to sleep through the night than others. 
Best moment this week: Seeing and hearing my baby! It was the most amazing sight ever to see the baby moving around and kicking. The baby's heart rate was 161 which is very good!
Miss Anything?  I miss having energy.  I feel lazy all the time. I also miss having a normal appetite. Lately I want to eat EVERYTHING in sight!
Movement: I have yet to feel any movement, but I know the baby is moving a ton! I saw it at my appointment.
Food cravings: Breakfast foods - mainly egg sandwiches. Also really still on chicken tenders with french fries. Soft pretzels are also still on my mind a lot!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Red meat and coffee. 
Labor Signs: Luckily no! This baby has a lot longer to cook!  
Symptoms:  Luckily the nausea and exhaustion partially subsided. So now I am just bloated, emotional, have cravings, and go to the bathroom more often than usual. The acne seems to be clearing up some too. :)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am happy and moody. I think it really just depends on the day.
Looking forward to: Finally making this pregnancy public news!

Sleep: Been very tired and have not had too much trouble sleeping through the night.

Movement: Have not felt any movement yet, but I hear that the baby is now moving. Kicking and tumbling even!

Picture is from around when we first found out, but I wanted it in the blog somewhere :)

How far along? 9 Weeks
How big is the baby? Size of a prune (but not shriveled)
Total weight gain: 3-5 pounds depending on the day and depending on if I drank enough water that day. I AM going to start working out again. Can't gain this much weight already.
Maternity clothes? No, but I want to start wearing them just for how comfortable they are. Still haven't invested in a belly band, REALLY need to.
Stretch marks? No new ones ;)
Sleep: Absolutely exhausted, and luckily able to sleep most nights through the night. Except when I get up for the bathroom. :) 
Best moment this week: Telling our extended family that we're pregnant and hearing all their reactions.
Miss Anything?  I really miss having the energy to do things. Anything, like shower. I just am SO tired ALL the time.
Movement: The little nugget isn't moving yet. Just my rumbly tummy!
Food cravings: Breakfast foods are keeping number 1 on my cravings list. I think that will not go anywhere this pregnancy.  However, item of the week, sweetarts and Whataburger Chicken Tenders meal. YUM!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Still can't do red meat. 
Labor Signs: Luckily no! This baby has a lot longer to cook!  
Symptoms:  Having to pee all day long,  super emotional, cravings, bloated, tenderness, lil bit of acne (sad day for me), some morning sickness, and exhaustion.  Nothing I can't handle! Symptoms mean it's a good pregnancy, right? :)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I would say both again.  I am a happy/moody girl. And tired. Is tired a mood?
Looking forward to: I cannot wait until my first sonogram. It is a little over a week away. Hearing the heartbeat will be amazing.
