Pregnancy comparison

Seems like people are always saying "every pregnancy is different." So every time I hear that, I think, "Hmm, it hasn't been that different so far, really." Just to catalog...

Same:
Super tired in the beginning
Nauseous all the time for the first trimester
Slight joint pain at the midway point
Freezing cold all the time
Same weight at the same point, almost within a pound (though rate of weight gain has differed considerably)
Intermittent back pain
Lots of nighttime wakeups for no apparent reason or from being thirsty
"Unusually active" baby kicks and movements (as experienced by my ribs and commented on by ultrasound technicians)

Different:
(this time)
Super sick with puking in addition to nausea for the first trimester and into the second
Super tired into the second trimester

(last time)
Overall discomfort and tenderness
Extreme itchiness most of the time
Heartburn almost every night

Sounds like fun times, huh?
