Diffrences

It sometimes amazes me how different my girls are, its only been 3 months so they could end
up being so alike but for the moment…..

Here’s a picture of them both at 3 months, Becs first and Eilidh second. I really
think they look completely different.

My pregnancies were complete opposites so i guess i shouldn’t be surprised , with Rebecca
i felt awful from day one whereas except from the tiredness/fed up- ness in the last trimester
i felt fine with Eilidh.
Then there was there sizes -
Rebecca 6lbs 13oz, 50cm long, 34cm head………6 days early and
had her health problems.
Eilidh 8lbs 10oz, 54.5cm long, 36cm head……..8 days late and completely healthy.

I guess i was lucky as one of there similarities has been they both took to the breast like naturals.

I have noticed quite a few differences in there personality in the few months since Eilidhs birth, lets see…

Rebecca was never big on sleeping by herself and much preferred being in our arms.
Eilidh although does like her cuddles sleeps so much better on her own.
Rebecca now at 20 months still wakes once a night, Eilidh at 3 months wakes once a night to.
Rebecca though liked independent play and loved tummy time, Eilidh hates tummy time and
is nowhere near as big on independent play.
Rebecca was also quite a hard child to get to laugh, my dad used to say she would look at you like you were stupid. Eilidh on the other hand laughs and smiles at everything.

Then there is there sizes, okay Eilidh got a 2lbs start but right now she is almost 14lbs . Rebecca
was 14lbs 5oz at 6 months. Eilidh is currently in 3-6 months clothes, Rebecca was at least
6 months before she started wearing that size and that was because i was bored of the 0-3 months stuff. Rebecca definitely takes after her dad and Eilidh my family.

There is also there temperament, although for the most part both are great happy kids. Nothing would phase Rebecca and nothing in my milk would bother her, she could go days without crying at all. Eilidh is a fussier child and i need to avoid eating certain spices and hot foods.

I really cannot wait for the coming months to see there similarities and differences develop more. I do think a major similarity is there both the cutest babies ever :)
