Hi to all -- this is my very first post on any blog... I've been reading the HB blog a lot though, and I enjoy the inspiring tips for creative parenting. As an American having lived my whole life in Germany, there are some topics I can relate to more than others due to cultural differences, but still, kids are kids, aren't they...?

I'm interested in whether you mothers out there have experienced the first symptoms of pregnancy in a different way when you were pregnant with kid #2 ? Were they less strong?
