Holy Moly- 1/3 of the way to meet my precious babies. Now I know there's some varying thoughts as to when the 2nd trimester actually starts- but I'm going by development, not gestation or conception. Here's BabyCenter's picture of fraternal twins at 12 weeks:

How far along: 12 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 6 lbs from 6w5d
Maternity clothes: Gave up on the bella band, wore first and only pair of maternity capris last week. I wish I had more maternity capris, but I'm not willing to buy any.
Sleep: I wish I could reinstate rest time in my kindergarten classroom. For me.
Best moment this week: Being asked by a student if I was having a baby and a parent if I was expecting.
Movement: Aparently a lot, but none that I can feel yet. I think?
Food cravings: Onto my 8th watermelon since the BFP. Or is that 9th? I may have lost count...
Food aversions: I'm anti hamburgers right now.
Gender: I'm going with one of each- or maybe 2 girls. I just feel deep down it isn't two boys.
What I miss: Crazy enough, the the way my flat stomach looked in my work shirts. Never thought I'd say that.
What I am looking forward to: 12 week u/s tomorrow! A cute bump instead of frump.
Milestones: 12 weeks, first maternity clothes, being asked by a parent and student

The clothing issue has been getting more and more difficult. I'm not ready to full on wear maternity bottoms AND tops, and I'm just not comfortable wearing tighter tops that accentuate my bigger-than-most 12 week belly yet. I did wear my one and only pair of maternity capris last week (given to me by a friend) but I refuse to buy capris that I will only get a week or two's wear out of at this point in the year. So I've been crossing my fingers that the weather cools off soon and I can wear maternity pants. The bella bands just aren't cutting it any more- I think I'm simply too big to expect that little bit of stretchy fabric to hold up bottoms that I can't zip and leaves a ridiculously huge gap. Tops-wise, I'm in that hard middle stage where most of my old tops are stretched way too tight to look good (both across my chest and my belly) but maternity tops seem way too early. My co-worker who's in the room next to me is something like 28 weeks and she still wears some non-maternity tops. Of course she has the most adorable bump and I just look frumpy. Sigh. I had enough shirts to make it through 8 work days so far. Now I have a problem figuring out what to wear for the 5 days this week. I *really* don't want to start rewearing clothes again so soon. Argh! Clothing crisis!!!
