This pregnancy has been completely different from kinleys pregnancy, which made me think that it could possibly be a boy from the very beginning. So I wanted to list the differences between the two!
SICKNESS:
Kinley- Throwing up 3-4 times a day, sick and nauseated all day from 8 weeks till 17 weeks.
New baby boy- Throwing up 1-2 times a day, some days worse than others. Had breaks throughout the day where I would feel ok. Started at 6 weeks ended around 15-16 weeks.
CRAVINGS AND FOOD:
Kinley- Nothing ever sounded good. I had to try and decide what the heck I could eat without wanting to up chuck. I lived off of grilled cheese sandwiches, apples and yogurt, and sweets always sounded good. COULDN'T EAT pizza and roast.
New Baby boy- From the beginning I had to eat to make me feel better and I was alwalys in the mood for some particular food and nothing else sounded good...whether is was taco bell, cafe rio, or pasta! I craved Pasta and mexican food and onion rings ha. Sweets haven't really been a huge craving with this pregnancy and dairy foods and sweets haven't settled super well either.
SMELLS:
Kinley- Smell was extremely intensified and every scent was too strong. I could barely stand to be around eric because he "smelled" even if he had just taken a shower ha. (poor guy). I hated my previous favorite hand wash the pink grapefruit scent from bath and body works, because it was too strong.
New baby boy- Smells aren't getting to me as much. If the scent is strong I still have a hard time being around it, but it doesn't make me near as naseuated and sick as it did with kinley. Eric is tolerable to be around this time around :)
HEADACHES AND HEARTBURN:
Kinley- I got both headaches and heartburn in the 2nd trimester, but it was occasional.
New baby boy- Heartburn has been more constance and the 2nd trimester headaches have occured a little more then with kinley.
I will post more differences as I can think of them, but thats all I can think of right now.
Here is a pic of me at 17 weeks...The bump doesn't look as big in this picture as I feel ha. This pregnancy belly has popped out a little quicker than kinley did, and it feels way lower....
P.S. I hate pregnancy pictures, I look awful :)
