Now thats a baby bump

So as I've been going along with this pregnancy I keep looking at the "bump" pictures I've been taking and most of the time I can tell there's a baby bump but I'm pretty sure no one else would think it is super obvious (totally normal at this point).  Despite being not skinny I've never carried my weight in my stomach, so the bump I see is OBVIOUSLY a baby bump in my mind, but really if you haven't been scrutinizing my body for the last 4 months then it's probably not obvious.

Then yesterday I looked down at my stomach and was like "whoa baby that's a baby bump"

14 weeks today!

How far along? 14 weeks
How big is the snowman?  a nectarine, getting bigger!
Total weight gain/loss? last I checked I was still down about 7 lbs overall from when we transferred, I'm sure it will all come back with a vengeance sooner than later!
Maternity clothes? Even though I'm down weight-wise overall the bump is starting to make an appearance so I actually did go buy some maternity shorts since I know I'll need them later this summer. 
Sleep?  I can still sleep 10 hours at a stretch, but when I'm awake now I'm actually able to function which is awesome!
Best moment this week?  We got to spend a great day down at the fireworks stand with friends and watch a fantastic show for the 4th of July
Symptoms? I'm not really able to eat before noon without feeling like I have a hangover for hours afterwards, baby likes refined carbs still BUT I was able to eat some green beans and raspberries yesterday which is the first time since about week 6 that anything kind of healthy has been palateable. The bathroom issues continue, I've found that using Natural Calm works better than Miralax which is nice.
Food cravings? I'm still not hungry overall, I am eating, but not very healthy. 
Food aversions? all food. 
Gender? team blue!
Labor signs? dear lord I hope not
Belly button in or out? in
What I miss? I want nigiri! 
What I'm looking forward to?  we go in for our anatomy ultrasound like 5 weeks, I'm excited for that!
Milestones?  I'm into the 2nd Trimester, I've been promised I'll start to like food again at some point this trimester and I'm pumped.
Bump? its starting to show up, here are some pictures from the last few weeks!
