Things I'm learning About Being Pregnant

So I'll be honest. I didn't think any of those typical pregnancy issues were going to happen to me. It's like when Greg and I start a house project that I think is going to be a piece of cake, and then half an hour into it I realize it'll be a several day/week/month project as opposed to a couple of hours, I get, well, frustrated. (Greg will tell you I throw something similar to a temper-tantrum.)

I thought pregnancy would be easy. You know, get a cute round belly, wear cute maternity clothes, and have a cute little person I love more than anything at the end.

The end part is still true I'm sure. The rest, well...sigh...is not.

Here's what I've learned so far.

1. Car rides make me sick. I can't even read or divert my attention elsewhere. I even find that the beats and melodies in some songs add to the nausea. Driving myself even makes me queasy. 

2. I'm more hungry than I ever imagined. I went through my whole packed lunch today...before lunch. I will be needing more snacks tomorrow.

3. Psycho Keek has reared her ugly head. I've called Greg "stupid" on more than one occasion--and without using the "dog" voice. Not only that, but I have yelled at him, bawled my eyes out, and then laughed hysterically...all in the same breath.

4. Weight gain is inevitable. I'm going to have to buy pants, bras, and tops in NON maternity sizes just until I can get to the maternity sizes. And all of you who have said, "You'll be the cutest pregnant person ever! All belly!" Well--it's already spread to my ass. 

5. My boobs have never been this big. Not even in 8th grade when they were their previous "biggest" size. I was convinced that people at work would think I got a boob job over break--they really filled out in the last two weeks! I purposely wore a top today that would point that out, just to get the rumor-mill going. :o) Backfire. It just made more male students stare at it. I will avoid this in the future.
