At 15 Weeks Pregnant.....

I can't help but compare this pregnancy to when I was pregnant with Jack.  And here are some comparisons that I have come up with........

• I'm VERY grateful that the acne has not haunted me at all like it did when I was pregnant with Jack.  With Jack I started breaking out before I even knew I was pregnant and I swear it instantly cleared up right after he was born, like the same day.
• I think I was more nauseous this time than I was with Jack.  But luckily with both of my pregnancies, I never did throw up.  But there were definitely times that I thought that throwing up would make me feel better.  
• My cravings are a little different this time around.  With Jack I couldn't even look, smell or think about eggs without getting sick to my stomach.  This time I can't get enough eggs.  It started off with craving eggs over easy every morning, now that craving has switched to scrambled eggs.  With Jack I craved lemonade and fruit punch, this time around it is root beer and unsweetened iced tea.  I also have been craving soup, so almost every day for lunch I eat tomato soup or some other healthy choice microwaveable soup that I have purchased for the week.  And how could I forget about my craving for a Slim Turkey from Jimmy John's.  I must admit that my idea of "cooking" at least one night a week is driving through Jimmy John's on my way home from work and picking one up a sandwich for Nick and I.  But I felt pretty good about that craving after I looked up the nutritional facts, it's not that bad of a choice as far as calories and fat go.  
• My biggest disappointment is how I cannot stand coffee this time around.  With Jack I would have 1 cup a day.  With this one I cannot even stomach a hot cup of coffee.  But at least I can stomach an iced coffee, literally the only thing you have to do is dumb the coffee over ice cubs and stir in a little milk and I am good to go.  So that one is a little weird.   
• Just like with Jack, I still have my situations that put me at high risk.  But that's ok because I think I have learned from when I was pregnant with Jack and doing precautionary things to keep me from getting put on bedrest.  So I am keeping my fingers crossed and continuing to think positively.  

I can't wait to find out what we are having.  We found out with Jack, but we only let the grandmas in on the secret.  This time around I would like to wait and be surprised, but Nick said that he wants to find out so I guess that's what we will be doing.  I will keep everyone posted on any new symptoms or cravings that might come about in the upcoming months.
