I know, it's been way too long. Here is a video.
I'm six months pregnant and pretty excited about the little one. Just in time for today's post, I've come up with 10 things that surprise me about being pregnant.
10. It hurts. Everything hurts...my feet, my belly, my back....sometimes even places I hate to mention hurt. I told Mr. Pete that sometimes it feels like I'm pooping glass. Sorry for the details but I just went there. No one told me that everything would hurt like this all at once.
9. Every one has a terrible birthing story. Even men.
8. People go crazy for babies, spend lots of money on lots of stuff that takes up lots of room, and they can still buy more stuff.
7. There are a lot of dos and don'ts. Don't eat soft cheese, do get extra folic acid. Don't lift heavy objects, do work out. Don't....
6. Did I mention things hurt ALL the time. I feel like I'm breaking.
5. The sleep deprivation begins early. Mr. Pete's alarm clock went off today at 5:00 AM and I was already awake and could not go back to sleep.
4. People are very protective of pregnant women. You should see my students falling all over themselves trying to take care of me.
3. Babies grow very fast. One day it's an embryo and the next it's the size of an eggplant.
2. Everyone will tell you how big or small they think you look. This is never OK and never flattering.
1. It's pretty darn exciting despite some of the obvious drawbacks to being pregnant.
