Like Mother, Like Daughters?

Okay, I finally got my pictures together! Here are some shots of me, K, and S. You can decide for yourself if we look alike. In some pictures I think we look identical and in others not so much. Here are a few "stats" first.

~

Me: 7 lbs. even (two weeks early)

K: 8 lbs. 1 oz. (three days late)

S: 8 lbs. 3 oz. (three days early)

Me: 19 1/2 inches

K: 20 3/4 inches

S: officially 18 1/2 inches, we think it was closer to 20

Here is my baby picture from the hospital.

K - a week or so old
S - a few weeks old

So there you have it. Do you think we look alike? The shots weren't real good for comparisons sake but it was the best I could do at the moment. :)

And for comparisons sake here are a few other facts about K and S.

~

Being pregnant with K was relatively easy. Morning sickness was fairly mild and lasted till exactly 12 weeks. I gained 33 pounds with K. K's birth was surprisingly easy. My water broke and K was born exactly seven hours later.

~

Being pregnant with S was fairly difficult, morning sickness was much worse and lasted till 16 weeks. I was terribly uncomfortable throughout the second and third trimesters. I gained 18 pounds with S, and I was really only in true labor for an hour.

~

K was a good baby, but definitely had fussy periods and cried a lot. S is very mellow and rarely cries unless she is hungry or has a dirty diaper.

Well, that's all for now. It will be interesting to see the similarities and differences as they both grow and change.
