Thoughts on Pregnancy...

19 Weeks - No picture update this time although I'm being told by people who see be every day its time for new one...maybe this weekend. Tonight I decided to instead provide everyone with my infinite thoughts of wisdom on pregnancy, since I have so much experience now at 4 1/2 months. :-) I just want to note before beginning that these are my own personal thoughts on pregnancy and I don't want anyone to take offense to my comments, it's all in good fun.

1. The how are you feeling question. For those of you who have not yet experienced pregnancy you will hear this question more times than you could possible count. Now I will continue to smile and politely tell people how I feel, but for the record you don't have to ask. If I felt crappy you would either know or I would tell you. So officially for the record, I feel great, I have been one of the lucky ones.

2. Feeling the baby move. Now don't get me wrong, I am overjoyed to be experiencing pregnancy but feeling another human being move inside you is just plain weird. I have no other way to describe it. I'll probably really start to freak out when we start to make out the babies hands and feet through my skin. Now I know why parents really tell there kids the tale about the stork bringing the baby. After all if I have a hard time comprehending the miracle of life (and yes I still think it is a miracle) how is a kid suppose to understand and not freak out about it.

3. Being pregnant makes you hungry, ALL THE TIME and when you do eat, you never feel full. For instance tonight I had 6 tacos before my brain said stop, think about this. Unfortunately my stomach didn't agree. How I am coping.... I eat all the time, ask my coworkers if you don't believe me. I'm just thankful that I inherited a good metabolism from my parents.

So now that I have bestowed enough comments on everyone for one blog I'll sign off.
