Wow look how much Baby has grown over the last few weeks! We were able to see the baby MOVE. That's been the coolest part of the whole pregnancy yet!
**edit**
I was also going to include my current pregnancy symptoms: The Morning Sickness has subsided and is definitely tolerable now. I have learned if I take the Zofran about an hour before i wake up, I'm totally good. (having ur husband wake u up is the trick, not taking it in ur sleep) The newest symptom is HEARTBURN/Indigestion. WHOO! Those babies are lethal.... Are cravings real? Because my mind sure thinks they are. I will be laying in bed feeling "sloshy" as i like to say, and all of a sudden i will think "OH MY HEAVENS. ARBY'S BEEF N' CHEDDAR SOUNDS SO GOOD RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!!!!". Then of COURSE i will get that for lunch the next day, and get serious heartburn from it. *sigh* I am so very tired most of the day. Tired. and Lazy. But at night, my bladder won't let me sleep long already! argh!! Don't get me wrong with all my complaining... i am so HAPPY to be pregnant!!! ECSTATIC!!!!
Something funny that happened at the doctors office... at 5 weeks I came into the doctor to confirm that I was indeed pregnant, and of course they weighed me. Nothing unusual. Then, just 3 weeks later i went for my 8 week apt... and weighed a whopping TWELVE POUNDS extra. I INSISTED the scale was wrong and she re-weigh me.. she says "Um, 11.5 lbs i guess i could say? Thats one big baby!" and I huffed and moved on. But my nerves were calmed when I went in today for the 12 week only to weigh 1 lb more than at my 5 week appointment. Talk about relief! I don't mind gaining weight at all, But 12 lbs... in 3 weeks!?? haha. I KNEW i was right ;)

Hope your nurse didn't yell at you for gaining 12 lbs. I once had a nurse yell at me for gaining 5, then the next month when I only gained one, she yelled at me again. What the heck? That's when I decided to stop listening to her, and just enjoy being pregnant!
Awww my little niece or nephew is going to be the cutest!! I can already tell... ha ha. Sorry about the heartburn and small bladder issues! I remember before Carsen was born I just wanted the baby to come and so I could get some sleep... little did I know :)
yay! baby hess has what looks like some arms and legs :)
Oh yes.. I remember when I was pregnant with Taylor and always had to get up in the middle of the night to pee. I thought, "I will never sleep through the night again!" not exactly true... but it was true from the time I was pregnant until she was a year old and now it's true again. ha!
Maybe you're getting some of your weight gain out of the way and won't gain as much at the end :-) With Taylor, I didn't gain but a pound or two each visit until the last couple of months, and then it was 7 lbs, 7 lbs, 7 lbs every time. wow!
