I have to preface this post by saying that I stole this idea from Pinterest. I love the idea of documenting your growing belly using a chalkboard. I did add my own little flare by adding in current feelings and cravings.
This is my first post of my first pregnancy (it's so exciting!).
Week: 12
Total weight gain: I never really weighed myself before, but since my 8 week appointment, I've only gained 1/2 a pound. :( KInda freaked out about that. Went straight to the grocery store and bought lots of food with protein. I think total weight gain is probably about 6 lbs. Yes, let's go with that. ;)

Maternity clothes: Ordered some maternity pants, but have not had to wear them yet. Just holding my pants together with a hair elastic. I'm also using the Be Bands from Target. They help to hide the fact that I'm not buttoning my pants!
Stretch marks? Nope, and I am determined to not get them.
Sleep: I want to sleep all day everyday
Wedding rings on or off? On

Best moment this week: Heard the baby's heart beat. 144 bpm.
Miss Anything? Running. At the beginning of my pregnancy, I had low progesterone, and was told to take it easy. I haven't run in two months, and I'm going crazy! I asked my doctor if I could start up again, and although hesitant, she said I could soon. Don't worry Mom, I'll take it slow! :)
Food Cravings: Mostly Salty. I've made Eric take me for Whataburger fries on numerous occasions. I'm also loving Kettle Cooked Bar-B-Q Chips.
Movement: Nope.
Anything make you queasy or sick: Haven't had morning sickness (thank goodness!), but certain smells and foods do make me a bit nauseous. I haven't been too keen on meat (hence the need for more protein), and any strong smelling foods.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, but mostly at night, after I've eaten all day.
Gender hopes or predictions: I have always wanted to have a boy first. I loved growing up with an older brother, AND I really want a little version of Eric! Based on Old Wives Tales (which I know aren't all that accurate, but it's fun!), I think it might be a boy! I haven't been sick, and I crave salty, not sweet. We'll see at week 20!
Belly Button in or out? In
Happy or Moody most of the time? Although Eric might disagree, I've been Happy most of the time. I do get VERY grouchy if I'm hungry though.
Looking forward to: Actually looking pregnant and not just fat!
