most surprising symptoms of pregnancy
(not necessarily in any order...just the way they are coming out of my head right now!)
- bloody noses :who knew? if you want to know why, i'll tell you one to one
- weak nails: i thought that because they grew quicker they would also be stronger, not true; evidently all your vitamins and minerals go to the baby so there are none left to make your fast growing nails strong!
-insomnia: well, not insomnia as much as the disco dancing and break dancing whenever she feels like it
- i'm a vegetarian!: i know, it is shocking. but not the good kind. i have developed a craving for hummous, which i had barely tried before, on certain crackers or rice cakes.
-cravings are a sham: well, to me. other than the inexplicable relationship with hummous, i crave the exact same things i did before i was pregnant! plus since everything takes more effort and makes you more tired you have a stronger sense of deserving treats. "i just made it through an all day meeting without falling asleep...i'll have as many darn krispy kreme doughnuts as i want!"
-overactive sense of smell: seriously, if tim makes any food that i am not wanting right then i think i am going to hurl! if something in the fridge is even thinking about going bad, i know days ahead of time! crazy weird.
-heartburn: kill me...kill me...every day...for the last 9 months. i should have bought stock in gaviscon. the rumor is that it ends like as soon as you give birth...immediately. well i guess that is one reason to look forward to the actual giving birth part of having a baby...well, that and the baby!
-how small my bump is: i guess since i've been "husky" (did anyone else have to wear those awful husky clothes as a kid?...trauma) my whole life, i assumed i would be the biggest pregnant lady ever! not true. actually, the times i've been around other women at my same point, i am smaller! and not just the lady with twins! i have heard that can change alot the last few weeks, so we'll see!
-what it feels like when the baby "kicks": maybe it's just sheniqua and i, but she doesn't kick so much as flop around. her favourite move seems to be headspins on my bladder!
-digestion: we'll leave it at that...but there are a couple brutal issues here!
