22 weeks!

I agree with Jana that the myth about way you "carry" can indicate if you are having a boy or girl seems to be a silly myth, but.... now that I'm well into my second pregnancy, and I know I'm having a boy, I can say that in my case it is true!

      (very symetrically round)                                          22 weeks with baby boy

I definitely am carrying lower, and poochier haha.  I can still see my top two ab muscles, which they disappeared almost immediately with Laila.  And clearly I could still wear non-maternity pants at the same time last time.

 

I've enjoyed getting to compare the two pregnancies so far.  Other than the way I'm carrying, my pregnancies have been identical with both no morning sickness.  So that dispells one myth of sick with a girl and not with a boy.  I do get headaches alot more this time as I've mentioned before.  They still come and go randomly.  I've been drinking my 100+ oz of water a day but I still get them occasionally so I'm relating it to the hormone differences with a boy. 

 

Also I've had wierd kidney throbbing.  Got tested, no kidney infection so I'm not sure what the deal is.  Might have my doc do a closer look next visit.

 

Also the same as last pregnancy... gaining weight almost immediately in my hips, booty and thighs and gaining weight from the get go since I never get sick. I'm not a skinny leg pregnant girl, which is totally ok and so awesome of you are.  That's just where I gain the quickest (even when I'm not pregnant lol). 

 

I try to be conscious about weight gain during pregnancy to stay healthy, but I also know I can and will lose it all after.  I don't go overboard, and have stayed right on track where I should be, but I just know myself and my experience last go around.  I'm not stressed about, and I am really enjoying this time and wouldn't trade it for anything!
