13 weeks - then and now

It's so hard not to compare how I feel in my body during this pregnancy to how I felt during my pregnancy with Maggie even though I know I shouldn't be. Pregnancy symptoms started at 5 weeks (looking back my symptoms with Maggie were nothing compared to this time), I starting showing much earlier, and I am already feeling baby flutters in my belly. Luckily my weight gain hasn't been bad, yet.

I loved being pregnant with Maggie, I felt beautiful and embraced the changes happening to my body. At 13 weeks, I am now beginning to feel those same feelings, and starting to embrace the idea of growing two babies. How lucky am I to have the chance to experience such a miracle? I'm definitely enjoying the opportunity to eat for 3 but trying to balance the enjoyment with my fear of gaining too much weight.

I found this old picture of pregnancy at 13 weeks with Maggie, and happened to be wearing the same shirt (this shirt is very comfy and stretchy). A fun comparison for me and explains why I feel so different.
