Some have asked how this pregnancy compares to the first. We're only 9.2 weeks in (we began week 10 on Sunday), but it has been different even this far. With Wilson, I didn't really get ill. I had a two-week stretch where I'd feel kinda icky in the evenings, but it was short-lived and uneventful. While this pregnancy has hardly been arduous, I have experienced several weeks of mild nausea, initially running all day long, and now, blessedly, just in the evening.
Otherwise things are going very well, and as expected. Well, except for the pooch thing. Damn. They aren't kidding when they tell you that you'll show earlier with later children. Seriously, I started showing the minute that pregnancy test turned "+". In my sixth week, I was in a wedding, and they had to take out the midsection of my dress to accommodate the pooch! SIX WEEKS! I had even done my ab work like a good little mommy.
Bad baby.
I'm sure other differences will manifest themselves as the weeks progress. This is, after all, an entirely different little person and my body is an entirely different place than it was the first time around (I'm still postpartum). We're very excited to learn more about him or her; only a few more weeks until our first ultrasound. We'll keep you posted!
Coming soon: Wilson's 1st Birthday Party.
