17 weeks

17 weeks already?! I'm just starting to show. I look pregnant one day and am in maternity pants, the next it shrinks and I'm in my usual jeans.

Same as first time around - No morning sickness but I lost 7 lbs the first few weeks. Suppose the lack of Dr. Pepper, sushi and pinot grigio are to blame again? Oh, how I miss them! I'm now up 3 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, so Dr. VDH is pleased we're headed in the right direction.

Not the same - I could barely keep my eyes open for the first 8 weeks, can't tolerate foods I used to love (bananas especially) and strange cravings. The week after Christmas I couldn't get enough of double stuffed oreos and pickles! Around this time, Cole was measuring pretty small (10%) and had all of us worried. This baby? Measuring right at 17 weeks. Dr. B (ultrasound specialist) said the second baby is usually larger too. Awesome. Apparently I'm shooting for a 12 pounder?!

Due to the differences, Tom is convinced we're having a girl. Me? Not so sure. We're just going to have to wait and see until July 5th!
