Hellobee Boards

i asked parent that had a boy and a girl on my local messageboard whether the pregnancies felt different, and most said it felt the same. i think my pregnancies were pretty similar with charlie and olive. i was more tired with olive because i was chasing charlie.

i took one of those early gender prediction kits and it said i was having a girl. dunno how accurate those are but it was right!

Last pregnancy:
-sick everyday, sometimes twice a day
-still had a lot of energy during the first trimester, I was finishing up my last year of college and I'd work a 4am-12pm shift at a coffee shop, school at 1-7pm and I probably had about 6-9 papers to write a week. But I wasn't worn out!
-I gained 10 pounds the first trimester
-Constant heartburn.

This pregnancy
-I'm so tired, I feel like I have mono. I go to bed at 8, wake up with my LO at 6, and nap when he does between 1-3
-I've only been sick twice
-I haven't gained anything but my stomach is approaching bump status quickly.

I didn't know you were pregnant again Kelly! Congratulations! I'm so excited for you!

Congratulations!!!!! So excited for you and your family
