I have not been nearly as good at writing about Fwed as I was Phred. I think because most of what I have to say now is simply for my own interest in how different my symptoms are with this pregnancy than they were with my first. I feel like this is a completely opposite pregnancy which I really wouldn't have thought possible.
Although I have not had nearly as hard a time of it as Emma, I have felt much more queasy, and for much longer (5-12+ weeks vs. 6-8 last time). My skin isn't nearly as clear as it was with Ant. I haven't been either as tired or as hungry. I've been having very vivid, bizarre, dreams which is highly unusual for me and didn't happen before. (I had one about how I was super strong and squeezing about twenty cars into our driveway which normally holds four by picking them up with one hand and packing them in. Followed by pulling up thousands of maple seedlings out of the asphalt. ???) My digestive system doesn't seem to have slowed nearly as much. No food aversions.
And despite weighing about 8 pounds less, I'm showing so much more! I look about like I did at 18 weeks with Ant. Here is a pic, if you're interested - on the left is 15 weeks with Ant, in the middle is 11wks with Fwed, and on the right is 18 weeks with Ant. I had to start telling people at work already because I was getting questions and pointed stares!
I have my NT scan on Monday, and am looking forward to seeing the little guy again. And, of course, hoping for good news.

Hello there, Nic(o)! I hope I'm not sticking a big, smelly foot in my mouth b/c you haven't posted about your NT scan yet. But I have to say I love that belly you've got growing!!
Could be since you started thinner, the belly's more noticable? Also, second time around, people rend to 'pop' earlier.
Sounds to me like you might have a girl in there. Not there there's any scientific evidence to support it, just my gut reaction to your description of symptoms. Either that, or a boy with a different temperment than Ant. If things go as you hope, do you plan to learn the sex of the baby (before birth)?
Hoping you are well.
rend = tend. Just call me Scooby! ;)
That's interesting to be able to compare pregnancies like that, of course with blogging you have a lot of detail 'on record'. And a great picture too! Love the way you combined those.
