Of course, all in MY opinion… but maybe you can agree too?
From the moment I found out I was pregnant with Nolan, I knew I was having a boy. No doubt about it. I was so, so, so, sick from about 7wks-15wks. I threw up, red meat made me nauseated, I had ZERO energy. I literally felt like I had the flu 24 hours a day for weeks on end. Then, when all of that disappeared, I was still lethargic, I had to still watch what I ate because some things didn’t settle, and my poor husband… pretty sure we had no relationship for the whole nine months. You’re a trooper babe!
With all of that, I’m sure by now you can imagine that my pregnancy with Ava was completely opposite. When I express this to people they always roll their eyes and say, “every pregnancy is different Jenna so it must have just been a coincidence you had a boy the second time around.” Okay, whatever. Might be true, but both we’re day and night.
Now that I’ve been through the baby and toddler stage with Ava, and doing it all over again with Nolan, I really can’t help to see how extremely different they are. Once again, maybe it’s because ‘everybody is their own person,’ or maybe (probably, hehe) it’s my theory that boys and girls are so, extremely different!
Here’s how…
1. Nolan will poop in his diaper in the middle of the night, not make a sound and sleep restfully until morning. Ava? She would scream bloody murder whenever she was wet.
2. I could set Ava down to play for hours on end and she would be completely content until her tummy started rumbling for food or it was nap time. Nolan likes to be held ALL THE TIME.
3. Ava never cuddled as a baby unless she was sick. Nolan is a cuddle monster.
4. Boys whine more. Period.
5. Girls are WAAAAAY louder. Ava breaks the sound barrier.
6. Ava never favorited a parent, but Nolan is for sure a mama’s boy.
7. Boys are slow learners. Girls pick up milestones a lot quicker.
8. Boys are WAY more curious. You can breathe and Nolan will break his neck trying to see who else was in the room.
9. Ava sleeps like a rock. I don’t know where the saying came, “sleep like a baby” because my dude is the lightest sleeper on earth.
10. Boys are harder as infants, but it could be very possible that it’s just my son and he can thank his high strung mama and dada for that.
This only pertains to my kids, and probably the only thing that makes them alike, but neither of them like anything on their feet. No socks, no shoes. Nothing.
