I am soo excited and ready to meet this little guy. I remember way back before I was pregnant, I wondered how I could ever love another child as much as Jetta. Now that is not even a thought. I love him so much already. I'm interested to see how different he will be then Jetta, because my pregnancy has already been so different than last time...here are just some of them...
1. I never threw up once! My morning sickness wasn't bad with Jetta...only threw up like 5 times, had motion sickness and of course was very tired, but with Ryder all I was, was TIRED! So my morning sickness was easier this go around.
2. Cravings!!!!!! Complete opposite this time around. Jetta = Salt, Ryder=SWEETS! Anything sweet, donuts in particular, oh man...that still sounds good. But seriously anything with sugar I wanted...maybe that's why I gained more this time around!
3. This little boy is so strong. He doesn't kick me as much as Jetta did, but when he does it is soo much stronger...painful even...and he barely had any hiccups, which Jetta had ALL the time! Jetta came out hiccupping!
4. More emotional. I feel I cried, laughed, and got frustrated to a higher extreme this time. It may have been because so much more was changing than just my body this time. We moved, lived with family, bought a home, and all the trials that come with all of those may have helped in the emotional section.
5. More attached. This time around it was easier for me to understand that a real little baby is inside me. I wasn't self-conscience about touching my belly or talking to it. Although I loved Jetta, it didn't really hit me until she was born, but with Ryder I feel I connected earlier.
6. Shopping....it's true...boy stuff just isn't as fun to shop for...and I'm not even into all the bows/flowers and stuff, but girls clothes are just cuter in general.
7. So much harder with a toddler. Being pregnant while chasing around a toddler is exhausting...I don't understand how women with all these kids do it! I barely survived with my one toddler.
4. LONGER! I've never been this pregnant before!!! Jetta was 6 days early (C-section, no labor) and no Ryder is two days late!! Little stinker!
