So now, for me, life is like this:
Whaaa? Why do I have to eat so much more now? Wait a minute - this must be because I'm pregnant!
or
I feel like lately I've been so much clumsier....why is that? Hmmm.............Oh hey! Maybe it's because I'm pregnant.
or
I don't understand why I'm yawning when I slept 10 hours last night and took a nap today. What's happening to me?! Oh wait, yeah. I'm pregnant.
Sometimes I feel like I am in the process of making a new medical discovery that I can share with the world about pregnancy before I realize that absolutely everyone already knows these things happen to pregnant women.
Probably also why I feel the need to blog about it all the time.
Sometimes I spend my days coming up with lists in my head like this:
Things I took for granted before I was pregnant:
1. Being able to roll over in bed with minimal effort.
2. Being able to get out of the car with minimal effort.
3. Sleeping through the night.
4. Getting through 3 hours of church without sneaking food for myself.
5. Bending over to put on my socks.
Sometimes I look at pictures of myself pre-pregnancy and wish I could go back in time and tell myself that I shouldn't worry about whether or not I had a flat stomach.
Amen, sister!
ReplyDeleteI'd tell you something about post-pregnancy stomachs... but... like you said, you'll re-learn it yourself later. So I'll let you do that ;) You really do take sitting up and standing down for granted! But enjoy the babying by Seth while you've got it!

ReplyDeleteDon't lie, your probably never did that. Cheerios and goldfish are just too good.
