Here are the differences I have noticed though:
- Longer and worse morning sickness (didn't go away until after 4 months in this time)
- Feeling two babies moving around - so cool! I can actually pretty much tell which kiddo is moving around. And it's great because I know which side each is on, so I can tell if it is the boy or the girl doing the kicking!
- Even more blood flow than with one baby. I can literally feel the blood racing through me most of the time. It's crazy!
- Nosebleeds. I never had these with Caleb, but because of the increased blood flow needed for two babies, a lot of times your nose just can't handle the extra blood. It hasn't been bad, but it was enough for me to look it up to make sure it was normal.
- Back ache. Oh my! Again, I had no problems with my back while carrying Caleb, but man this time has been horrible. It would get so bad to where at night I would just have to lay down and not do anything. I tried putting heat on it and it really did not help. Then I decided I would go buy a maternity back support belt. I got one yesterday, and as soon as I put it on, I have been pain free! So this thing is my new best friend and I sure hope it keeps working for the remainder of my pregnancy.

Nosebleeds were my first signs that I was pregnant for both girls. It's crazy. I had to teach while holding a kleenex to my nose for 6 months. I was also sick with Audrey for about 7 months and sick with Julia for the full 9 months. It's amazing what our bodies will do to accommodate these little bodies! I would be so interested in feeling both of them move. So cool!
