Can I be Frank with you...about Pregnancy?

I know I haven't even begun to experience most of the joys and pitfalls of pregnancy, but I gotta say--pregnancy isn't easy. Don't get me wrong, I love this little boy inside me, but some of this is getting ridiculous.

So. Frankly, I admit:

- You know it's going to be a rough day, nausea wise, when you wake up gagging and only have time to vomit in your slipper. Poor thing never saw it coming.
- I feel weepier and more emotional than a fourteen year old girl.
- Hot chocolate is probably the worst substance to vomit. It tastes like putrid acid.
- Hemorrhoids are a beast.
- The skin on my abdomen itches like a kid who sat on an ant hill.
- I may interpret gas bubbles as fetal movement.
- I wonder how long I'll be able to wear skinny jeans without looking like a mac truck.
- The thought of choking down pre-natal vitamins terrifies me.
- I no longer eat chicken. When something is projected out your nose, it's never the same.
- My bladder seems to only hold a few drops before I have to make a mad dash to the bathroom.
- The sink looks like a murder scene when I brush my bleeding gums.
- The same sink usually gets a taste of vomit because toothpaste makes me green in the gills.
- It's hard for me to believe there are legs, arms, fingers, and a brain in my tummy.
- I feel like an 86 year old woman when I rejoice over having a bowel movement. Damn constipation.
- I look forward to having an appetite again someday.
- I can't wait to meet this little man who I'm going through all this crap for. :)
