10 Things I've Learned So Far: Feel free to add!

MrsHollyMetesh · January 2010

1. I'm so glad to be out of the 1st trimester! Bloating, and anxiety, and nausea, oh my!

2. I can cry with despair or scream in anger in the same 5 minute time frame. I can also laugh WHILE crying.

3. Body butter, prenatals, and milk are staples in my pregnant life.

4. Who needs a heater or winter coat? I'm toasty 24/7...and sweaty!

5. Body hair grows 3x as much under the influence of baby :-)

6. Hungry, full, starving, hungry--repeat!

7. Acne, welcome to my face.

8. Breasts grow, change shape, get veiny, and completely enormous. Hello, DD, I never thought I'd meet you! ;-)

9. Carrying this low means instantly going up an underwear size. Oh joy!

10. Chin hair, join acne. Make yourself right at home!

*And so, so many more :-)

For sure, this!

I like your list, Holly!

My one thing is: I never thought I would turn down sex.

I just can't seem to find a happy medium in that department. Somedays I chill in there with a book like I am at the library waiting for something to happen and others I feel like I am going to blow up. I guess I should have added somehting about keeping reading matieral on hand. lol

Has that thin dark line been waiting in hiding all this time to divide my torso into two?

If baby's awake and active, chances are you're awake too. (Even before LO is born!)

I've found that I actually have an alter-ego. Her name is Sybil.

If you think it's lost forever, look in the fridge. There's a good chance that whatever it is, your pregnancy brain made you put it there.

You can learn to completely ignore hiccups and forget you even have them.

Stretchy pants and mood swings may not be sexy, but it's all I've got.

YAY! There are so many more but I wanted to hear everyone elses! I love how its all about the bathroom now, haha. Turning down sex? HAS NOT happened yet! (hopefully not ever?) :-) Thats how we all got into this mess after all, hehe.

YES!!!! I never thought I'd consider pooping a miracle...

and I didn't know it was possible to go from feeling like sitting around all day eating chocolate and napping to running around "nesting" like a maniac in the span of 5 minutes.

At one point, it was too painful and uncomfortable to have sex. Now, I just deal with it. I need sex.

Sybil is my alter ego when Im on my period, I blame everything on her, DH will be like is Sybil here, and I will be like " yes dont WAKE HER!" And when I got pregnant He's like will sybil be here for the whole pregnancy? and Im like yes and any where from 4-6 weeks after.

This! Sometimes I actually look forward to going to sleep to see what off-the-wall concoction my mind can come up with. It has yet to fail in entertaining me for a day or so
