Differences in Pregnancies

When I was pregnant with Canon, all I ever heard was that every pregnancy was different and everything was normal during pregnancy. So, here is a run down of the similarities and differences in my 2 1/2 pregnancies.

First pregnancy:

• I got sick (threw up) sporadically and only for the first 12 or 13 weeks. Then, I did not get sick at all.
• I gained about a pound a week starting at 4 weeks. :(
• My face and whole body were a little swollen.
• Canon moved a ton and I could always see him moving across the front of my belly.
• I needed a lot of sleep.
• My hair got really thick.
• I sat around a lot.
• I read every book, magazine, website available that talked about pregnancy, birth and newborns.
• Delivered two days late via Cesarean section.
• Had a 9 lb baby boy.

Second Pregnancy:

• I got sick very sporadically throughout my whole pregnancy.
• I gained 26 lbs on D-day.
• I stayed pretty small, though my face did swell a little.
• Boaz moved a lot, but he always made me feel motion sick because he was punching my organs.
• If I took a nap in the afternoon, I had a hard time falling asleep at night.
• I played with Canon a lot and sat around a little.
• My hair thickened up quite a bit.
• I tried to keep up with "Your Pregnancy week by week." But often lost track of what week I was on.
• Delivered three weeks and 2 days early with a 4 hour labor.
• Had a healthy, 7 lb 2 oz baby boy.

Third Pregnancy:

• I have not been sick at all, though hugged the toilet once for good measure.
• I've gained about a half pound a week.
• I feel like I am still pretty small, my face still looks normal and I can still see some muscles in my arms.
• I have felt the baby move for the last few weeks.
• I am functioning with about the same amount of sleep as I needed with Boaz.
• I am not sitting around much at all!
• My hair is falling out like it is summer time.
• I rarely know what week I am  on or what is going on with the baby.
• I thought my due date was 4/4, the doc moved it to 4/17, the ultrasound said it was 4/11.
• We are hoping to VBAC a baby GIRL sometime in April!
