Same and Different

There have been some things about this pregnancy that were very similar and some things that are different to pregnancy number 1.  

I have felt pretty much the same - no real nausea to complain about. I had a few minor episodes, usually caused by catching a wiff of the garbage can.  

I did feel more tired this time.  It may just have been due to the fact that I was at home so I could think about my symptoms more rather than just get up and tough it out.  

I got my sassiness back, same as last time.  I hope no one besides Derek has seen too much of that and I hope Derek knows how much I love him and will forgive me :)

I feel like I am showing about the same as with number 1 at this point.  

I've gained less weight so far than last time.

I felt this baby much earlier.  

I am just as nervous and excited this time to have this little one join the family.

I feel a little more prepared in some ways, having {so far} succeeded with number 1. 

 There will apparently be one major difference in the final product of this pregnancy.

The biggest difference will be that we will be coming home with a baby boy this time.  

The biggest similarity is that we will love this baby boy just as much.  

His knees were to his head the entire ultrasound so we didn't get great pictures but we loved all the glimpses we got of our little guy.

Brielle doesn't understand that her world will be changing a lot in the next few months and for now that is just fine.  In the mean time we will be trying to soak up every moment we can with her.
