who knew

There are certain things about being a pregnant lady that I guess you just don't understand until you are one....

like, no one really tells you that your boobs (actually, most of your torso) will start to resemble a road map as your blood vessels plump up to carry that extra blood supply. Or, that you will sleep so much that you think you are having a relapse of mononucleosis during the first trimeseter.
I've also noticed that people like to blame everything you say or do or feel or think on the fact that you're pregnant and the only real part about it that can be blamed on the pregnancy hormones is the amount of annoyance you feel about them blaming everything on the pregnancy.

I definitely had no idea just how much lotion you go through or how much stretch mark tummy butter it actually takes to cover your tummy. or how little things like taking a shower can make you feel short of breath. ... or oh, how 'bout when your normal little bit of short peach fuzz on your stomach starts to resemble more of a tall jungle.

what else? bigger fight with acne than when you were 15, restless leg syndrome on steroids, so much saliva that brushing your teeth makes your gag (and occasionally lose your breakfast)...

I'm a little more of a third of the way done so we'll have to see what else I discover as the weeks go by.
