I didn't know that I could have such great friends who would carry through the darkest places in my life. (both here and real life I found out where my true friends are)
* that all those horror stories of morning sickness are actually true and they come and go like a theif in the night... (I never had ANY MS with my DD) I thought you guys were all babies.... hehehe
* that having an easy first pregnancy does not automatically put you in the "will easily get KU and have a healthy pregnancy from now on" category.
* that I could feel this bitchy and on edge
* that with all the sickness, personality issues, and tireness that I still am so estatic and happy I am pregnant and will gladly take on all of these issues until the kiddo pops out.
* that my DH is a wonderful wonderful man I love him so so much...

Re: Until I was pregnant...
* How much unsolicited advice I would get
my hormones would make me cry/scream/ or laugh all in the same second.
I never knew fear like I know it now
I always thought that being pregnant always equaled a child...
I had no idea that...
...you have contractions for at least a month before you have the baby...it always seems on TV that it starts with labor
...complete strangers think they need to give you advice/horror stories
...heartburn can literally feel like you're digesting your insides
I never knew.....
That 36K bras existed.
That it's possible to have a stuffy nose for 18 weeks straight without allergies
How scared I would be
*that nesting would be this crazy even though I'm exhausted
*that DH would watch me like a hawk to make sure I'm not having any contractions
+ That rolling over in bed (or getting out of bed) requires a mental pep talk.
+ That I would grow out of the maternity shirts that were tents at the beginning of my pregnancy.
+ That my boobs would leak beginning in the early 2nd tri.
+ That people simply talking to me at this point of my pg. would make me want to go on a rampage.
-That tying my shoes would take my breath away
-That I would grow out of my slip on shoes
-That rolling over in bed/getting out of bed would be such a chore
-That I would pick up snoring
* that my belly becomes public property
* that everyone thinks they should comment on my eating habits
* that all those horror stories of morning sickness are actually true and they come and go like a theif in the night... (I never had ANY MS with my DD) I thought you guys were all babies.... hehehe
