I thought I'd share with you all how different this pregnancy has been compared to the boys.
The worst is over. I had terrible morning sickness the first 15 weeks. So bad I lost 12lbs (5 1/2 kilos). Don't worry I've gained that back plus an additional 15lbs. But not bad compared to the 50lb (22kilo) weight gain with each boy.
No new stretch marks. I joke with Paul that I haven't even hit the creases of Brandon and Peters tiger stripes yet (seriously). I'm just carrying a whole lot smaller than Brandon and Peter.
No ugly line nigra. Many pregnant women know of this line. It can start above or below your navel and go all the way down to your public bone. This time no line so far!
No cravings. This one is weird. I was very hungry between 15-27 weeks. But the past 2 weeks it's back to tiny meals and snacks.
Sleeping better. I can still sleep on my back for short periods (20minutes) and unlike the boys I don't get any leg cramps at night. It also helps that the boys are older and sort of sleep all night. We still have occasional night visitors. And we also have early risers who enjoy snuggles 😀
And last I have Brandon 5 and Peter almost 4 who have become so independent. B wakes up in the mornings and just goes downstairs or to the playroom to watch cartoons. Peter wakes up around 7am and just gets in bed with me to snuggle and sleep for an extra hour. I am taking complete advantage of sleeping in. It will be a couple years until we have a full nights sleep again 😉
