This pregnancy has been pretty different than with Ezra in some ways...With Ezra I only felt nauseous from week 8-16 really and even that was less severe than this time around. This time I felt nauseous immediately until almost 5 month pregnant, and I still have evenings where I'm feeling a little nauseous. With both pregnancies I craved fruit most of the time, desserts that I would typically like anyway (mostly chocolate things), & cinnamon. There was a time at the beginning with both pregnancies that I craved potato chips also. I think it's funny that my belly button has actually half popped out with this pregnancy but with Ezra it was just flat & so funny looking! This baby's heartbeat has been a little slower (in the 150s) where Ezra's was in the 160s typically I believe. I've had less caffeine this time that's for sure! I still feel like I'm more tired this time around though overall. I was even on my feet & working part time & then full time with Ezra until almost 6 weeks pregnant! Ezra lets me get plenty of sleep at night so that is wonderful! I think I'm tossing & turning to get comfortable more earlier on this time around though. At my last appt. (almost 24 weeks), I was up about 18 lbs...yikes! With Ezra I gained 42 so we'll see if I can gain a little less this time. My doc said he wasn't concerned I had gained so much with Ezra since I was too thin to begin with since I started at 104 but funny that that's the weight I went back down to after losing weight from pregnancy! Baby boy looks to have a similar nose & mouth to Ezra from recent sonos, but I initially thought his nose looked more like mine. I think it's the same as E's though. This boy kicks more often than Ezra did & I started feeling kicks the end of 14 weeks! With Ezra I recall it being 18 weeks but I didn't really know what I was feeling for back then.
Today I told Ezra, while showing him a sono pic, that there's his baby brother in my tummy & he seemed to be taking it in but then wanted to look at his belly button since he had been pointing mine out too. He already likes other babies so that's hopeful. I have my glucose tolerance test next appt., so hopefully I'll pass like I did the 1st time! :)
This pregnancy has definitely been going by faster than with Ezra, but I have more that I want to do around our new (to us) house too!
Here's a recent pic of us 4 (hehe) in San Antonio while we were visiting my brother, sis in law, & our nephews.
