Comparison

So as we come up on Monday finding out what we are having I wanted to write this down before I'm swayed by knowing the gender. I want to compare my last pregnancy to this one so I can remember how it was the same/different.

-Early nausea: About the same. Maybe a little bit better this time around because I could eat some real food not just soup.
-Weight: Well I started the exact same way with both - losing weight due to the nausea but this one I am not going back up as quick. I am starting to go back up at this point I believe but I know during my last pregnancy I was already going back up around 14 wks and here I am at 20 and just starting. I'm fine with this though - less to lose at the end! :)
-Bump: I feel like I'm slightly smaller this time due to the weight thing (I will try to post pics after I take a 20 wk pic on Saturday)
-Acne: I think it's been a bit worse this time around then last time but still not too awful
-Cravings: Pretty different. Last time I wanted lots of fruit and some sweets. This time I don't really have much of a craving for anything really (except Chipotle - SPICY - and Reese pumpkins but those would have been game last time also).
-Emotions: I think I'm a bit less emotional this time around probably because I don't have the time! I do know I am crying some over stupid things but I think it's a bit better.
-Tiredness: I think I'm way more tired this time around because I am running after a 2 year old all night!
-Sex drive: TMI but way better this time :) Enough said.
-Position: This baby is sitting on my left side very low near my bladder and it starts to get really painful if I don't go pee pretty often. It SUCKS. Definitely don't remember this with Tricia.
-Dreams: I remember having really vivid dreams when I was pregnant the first time around and this time not so much. But that  may have been further along in my pregnancy so we will see if that is yet to come.


So regardless I really don't have much of a feeling either way. And I really will be happy either way but I do lean towards another girl because we have done that already. I did have 1 dream that it was a boy about a month ago but that was after we had been talking right before bed about it being a boy. I really just care about baby being healthy and me being healthy. The gender is just not as important this time around!
