Things I've learned since becoming pregnant

1. I can handle nausea. It's the vomitting without notice that gets me.

2. Matt's job is actually more gory than I thought.

3. Growing a human really does cause tiredness.

4. I miss chocolate more than I should.

5. Gaining weight because I'm pregnant lowers my self-esteem just as much as gaining weight because I'm lazy.

6. Eating pizza rolls for every meal SHOULD be socially acceptable.

7. I still am not a huge fan of being touched.

8. I don't have the pregnant glow that I expected. Unless the glow comes from my watering eyes as I vomit. But I don't think it does.

9. I haven't shopped for the baby like I thought I would. Other than a huge box of wipes that I bought the day I got a positive pregnancy test (that I've since given away) and a Sophie (for Christmas) I haven't bought anything for the baby. I hope that doesn't mean that I'm going to a cheap mom.

10. I'm not ready for this. At all.
