Pregnancy stuff
Aug. 16th, 2007 08:30 amI've been curious how this pregnancy compares to when I was pregnant with Ellie. LJ is so cool for that sort of thing. I was just looking through my old posts and I discovered that:
1. Around 14 weeks, I had almost no appetite (exactly how I feel now and what prompted me to check out how I felt before).
2. I had a strong aversion to meat around that time (again, exactly how I"ve been feeling. I've actually thrown away chicken that I just couldn't bring myself to eat and I've been avoiding a lot of other meats).
3. At 19 weeks, I had already gained 10 pounds. Well, I'm only at 14 (almost 15) weeks and I've gained 8 pounds already. I know I was showing earlier and the nausea was so bad this time that I"m not at all surprised I"ve gained more weight. Thankfully, my walking partner gets back from Sweden this weekend so I"m hoping to start walking after work again.
It's reassuring to see that these things are the same and it's nive to have previous experience to compare to. I'm looking forward to feeling the baby move. I've also been feeling sort of sad that I don't feel bonded to this baby because I remember feeling so storngly attached to Ellie before she was born. But that is my brain playing tricks on me, I think, and just remembering the late pregnancy stages, because at this time last time, I was also feeling not-so-bonded. I have an ultrasound next week and I think that will help.
