Some fun Comparisons

So I thought I would do some comparisons between my first 2 pregnancies and this one. I'm not sure how many I can come up with, but here we go...

1. I have no time to nap or even go to bed at a decent hour with two little ones always needing my attention.
2. I find myself too hungry too often as I forget to feed myself while chasing the kids or cleaning up after them.
3. Bleeding is normal in my pregnancies so I haven't called the Dr once to let him know about it....I bet he's happy to be sleeping instead of returning my calls:)
4. It's easier to be pregnant with my husband around than my husband gone.
5. I cannot carry my other 2 kiddos around as they are much older and heavier than Kierra was when I had Brookelynn....she was only 17 months at delivery with Brookelynn. Now 3 1/2 and 2.
6. I have no cravings.....just foods that make me disgusted....I had some serious cravings with the other 2.
7. Patience....I have none this time and the dumbest thing can annoy me to no end. My poor husband
8. Instead of being warm to hot this pregnancy, I am cold to freezing.
9. My stomach popped out entirely way too fast this time and I actually looked pregnant at 8 weeks.
10. I'm not on track to gain my usual 60 pounds this time.....No instead it looks like its going to be 70 pounds.

I'll have to post more later. That's all I can think of. So my advice Shannon is to stop at 2. It's safer that way :-)

I think you look even more beautiful than the first two pregnancies babe! I also think that you are doing a great job of handling everything while I'm gone. I can't wait til you guys meet up with me here in Georgia. Love you girls.

You are too cute! I LOVE reading your comparisons, it must be completely different going through pregnancy with little ones to care for at the same time. And to top it off having your hubby away. I admire you!!
