I find it funny how different your children can be. E and La have their similarities but are very different. They are still young so they could drastically change, but since pregnancy they are both very different. Elijah was So easy! I never had morning sickness nor did I have nausea towards anything. I didn't crave any crazy sweets and I always kept my energy. He didn't sit on any awkward organ or loop his elbow under my rib cage. He came on his own (no induction) a week early and my labor was 7 hours. E was a good boy from the get go, until he was born. He cried a lot. There was colic and insane sleeping patterns and he was under weight. Then when 5 months rolled around and he was awesome! Except for his crazy attachment issues with Lee and I. He is shy, and kind of timid with new people or a crowd, but he is getting better.
La was the opposite pregnancy. Though I still didn't have morning sickness or nausea, I craved sweets and was tired all the time (while chasing around a 1yr old). She laid in the most awkward ways which seemed to feel like she was wrapping her toes around my spinal cord (I know that isn't possible). My body always hurt and she was breach up until 36 or 37 weeks. I had to be induced with her a week and a half past my due date. The labor was only 3 hours but it was more painful. La weighed 8lbs 10oz. E only weighed 6lbs 14oz. She was an easy baby though. She ate really well, and was always content. La would let anyone hold her, she wasn't crazy attached. Shyness is not an issue with her, but she has no fear, which is exhausting.
Here is a bit of my little opposites
Unsure
Uh oh
We lost her
And while sister was loosing her cool, brother was keeping his just fine....
A little much
Wow
My loves are very different, it is so much fun though. They are the best kids the Lord could have given us. Tears or laughs, they are both pretty amazing.
Happy Tuesday!
