Pregnancy: Round 2

This pregnancy has been very similar to my pregnancy with Eli, but also really different. I don't know how to explain it in words, but here goes... 

With Eli, (by the way I'm a little over 13 weeks right now... I should probably get one of those ticker things) by this point I'd gained like 8 or 9 pounds. I never looked at the scale with him after the first trimester. I just didn't want to know. And I never knew how much I had gained until my doctor's appointment with this pregnancy. A different doctor was filling in for my doctor and ended up telling me that I gained around 50 pounds!!!! what?!?! ... see... that's why I didn't want to know. 

I lost all but 4 of those pounds.

This time, I've only gained between 1 pound and 1.5 pounds. I'm eating plenty and all of that, but that's a huge difference to me than the last time.

With Eli I was never sick just really tired. This time I haven't been sick but I can't stand anything that smells, even if it smells good. I just don't want to smell anything ever. Food used to taste a lot like cardboard with this pregnancy, but now it tastes good again. I've been really really tired with this baby also. But I just feel different somehow. I really don't know why or how exactly, I just do.

So my next appointment is June 11 and then I go for my next sono (where we can find out the sex) on July 8!!! SO exciting! We don't care what we have; we just want a healthy baby! It's already determined anyway!

D'Liesa always gets dog nose with her pregnancies too. Except that it always makes her want to throw up, which would be fine, if she had a gag reflex. In other words, I'm glad you're not sick, but I'm sorry that you're living with dog nose.

Sounds like someone's having a GIRL!!! (At least sounds VERY familiar to my past two, I'm just saying.) I could be wrong, but I think I'm right! :)

Sounds a lot like me, I can't stand 'smells' either. It is a little better now that I am almost 20 weeks. I was REALLY sick at first though...glad you are doing great!
