Pregnancy Journal: 12 Weeks

Woo hoo!  Made it through the 1st trimester!  I'm looking forward to the so-called energy boost of the 2nd trimester.  Lord knows I need some more energy:)

Due date: April 29, 2012
How far along: 12 weeks
Size of baby: A lime
Weight gain: Still at my starting weight, although my pants are snug in the belly.  I am actually showing a little.  A couple people have asked if I was pregnant!
Maternity clothes: Nope
Movement: Don't feel anything yet, but that sweet thing was moving all over the place during our last ultrasound!
Sleep: Not too bad...with the exception of 1 night where I just could NOT get comfortable.  I have bad nightmares pretty often too.  Anyone else have that??
Cravings: My appetite is definitely getting better.  Usually I'll just randomly think of something that sounds good and I have to have it.  I can't just open the fridge or pantry and expect to find something I want.  Still eating a cinnamon raisin bagel every morning.  Lunch and dinner consist of whatever sounds good at that moment.  Loving Taziki's (or Greek food in general).
Aversions: Still not crazy about sweets (except chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies) or dairy.
Symptoms: A little queasiness still, but not as bad, fatigue, and I feel bloated.
What I miss: Really just feeling like myself and being able to follow my usual workout. I miss my hot yoga classes too.
What I'm looking forward to: Announcing our news to everyone soon.
Best moment of the week: Hitting that 12 week mark!
Thoughts on pregnancy: Right now I am dealing with nerves and anxiety about telling my boss.  I know deep down everything will be fine, but I'm seriously freaking out considering that I just took on an attorney role, which obviously came along with a lot more responsibility.

Here's my 12 week bump picture....

This is what I was wearing at the grocery store when the bagger asked if I was pregnant.  I was kind of shocked, but now looking at this picture, umm, yeah.
