The girl: no signs or symptoms the first trimester, well that is not totally true I was super tired, pretty much slept through the holidays that year. My complexion was flawless all 9months, and never in my 3 trimesters did I experience the need to pee every five minutes. I started showing and wearing maternity clothes at about 15weeks or so. It was wonderful.
The boy: I knew it was a boy from the moment of implantation because I peed ever 5 minutes and that never stopped. I was totally exhausted the first trimester. And to top it off my complexion was horrible all through the pregnancy, I broke out like I was in high school again. I started showing at about 10 weeks and wearing maternity clothes about 12weeks.
This baby (or the moose): From my calculations I am about 6 weeks. I have been nauseous since about 4 1/2 weeks (that is why I took a test) The nausea comes and goes all day with no rhythm or reason. I haven't noticed a huge increasing in peeing but did I mention that I am experiencing nausea(never once with the other two). And if you look at me sideways, there is a small bump!!!! Yes small but it is there. I refuse to go retrieve the maternity clothing boxes from under the house. Six weeks and there is a bump, I am really afraid that this child might just be a moose.
So there you have it. I have my first appointment on Thursday the 10th, then I will have the doctors official due date. My own personal predicted due date is April 20th, 2010. Serafina's due date was July 20th and Matteo's was November 20th. So personally I like my due date for poetic reasons.
Just so you can all see what I mean:
Just over a month ago, washboard abs (OK not washboard but flat)
Tonight(a bump..and no I am not pushing my stomach out)

As I said on FB its about individuality. These little babes don't like to be predictable. Mine never outgrew that!
preggers or not you look fabulous, congrats mama!
Well, with Henry I was much like your first pregnancy...no symptoms really other than being super tired. No bump till like 15 weeks. WIth the girls I was NAUSEOUS all dang day! I only actually threw up once, but it didn't matter...I was miserable even still. ANd I started showing super early. Granted, there WERE two of them, but in general you body is already stretched out and is said to have a "memory" so you show sooner with subsequent pregnancies. I also had bad skin with Hen and great skin with the girls (until the very end).
My friend Kate had two girls...similar pregnancies...the last preg. she was SURE it was a boy because every SINGLE thing was TOTALLY different. It was a third girl. So, I don't think it matters!
Congratulations!
you know with all three of my babies, each pregnancy was different, and they're all girls. go figure!
Thanks Rachel,
I am happy to report the nausea seems to be better! Yeah, that or I just have time to notice.
Yay! Maybe there are two little ones in there!
Keep us posted!
