The me on the left is pregnancy #2, and the me on the right is pregnancy #1. These pictures were both taken at about the same point in my pregnancy. I think they may be a week or two apart, as far as gestation goes.
With Vince, my pre-pregnancy weight was about 112 lbs, and my weight just before delivery was 167 lbs (OH MY HECK I WAS HUGE!!). With this baby, my pre-pregnancy weight was probably 120-125 lbs (I never got quite as small as I was before... but then I don't think I was finished growing when I got preggo with Vince). So far I'm up to 154 lbs... I don't think I'll gain 13 lbs in 4 weeks (that would be crazy) so I think I'm doing a lot better this time. I'll probably have a total weight gain of about 30 lbs, which to be honest was my goal.
The pictures are also taken from different angles, so that throws things off, but I can tell they're much different because I've been looking at myself in the mirror, waiting for my face to explode. And I've been waiting for my pants to get tighter, and my thighs to get huge, and my love handles to triple in size... and nothing is happening... yet.
13 lbs in 4 weeks? You could totally do it! I did more than that with Guy. With Leo the last month I think I only gained 10 or 12.

I'm the opposite as you. With Joshua I gained 27 lbs I think (and nobody really believed that I was 9 months pregnant when it came time to deliver. They kept asking where I was hiding my baby!) But this time, I'm already up to 34 lbs I think, which is making me sick because it's not like I was tiny to begin with (I'm not going to reveal my actual weight for the entire internet population to read!) But here are my two excuses: 1, I lost 15 lbs with my first pregnancy before I ever gained anything. I was at my prepregnancy weight at 20 weeks. And 2, this baby, according to ultrasound, was already almost 8 lbs at 37 weeks. Good thing I only have a week left to go. I'm going to pop.
