Same or different?

Pregnancy is on the brain, folks, so please excuse all these blog entries about this pregnancy.  I really can't believe we didn't find out (have I said that already??) this baby's gender.  Not knowing has me comparing this pregnancy with my other ones like a crazy person.  In some ways they are all similar...

-I'm giant with an enormous belly.
-I didn't get sick during my first trimester but was starving all the time.
-I've craved fruit and carbs like crazy.
-Baby's heart rate is always high.

But in other ways, this pregnancy has been pretty different from Claire and Emma's (which were identical)...

-My blood pressure is low (was SO high with both girls).
-My belly sticks out far out front but isn't wide.
-No linea negra this time.
-No cankles (can you believe that??).  I know there is still plenty of time for them to rear their ugly head but with both girls, they were in full force by this point of my pregnancy.
-No heartburn 

This all has me curious because my pregnancies with Claire and Emma were exactly the same.  It could be another girl but just a really different pregnancy or it could be different because it's a boy.  We shall soon find out.  Such an exciting surprise!!!

I didn't have a linea negra with Ella and thought maybe it was because she was a girl, but then I didn't have one later with Judson either. It is fun to see how different pregnancies can be, just like how different babies are.
