you know, the ones you always hear about, but never really know how strange they are until they hit you... (so i wrote these fairly in order of how they hit me from first trimester to third). here we go!
1. burping. not just any burping - i mean 300 lb man burps!
2. the need to pee - like, NOW. then you get there, and it turns out it wasn't quite the crisis situation you thought it was. but it was a situation nonetheless.
3. the dizzies - the earth is rotating and i might fall out of my bed.
4. aversion to smells - my shampoo made me nauseous.
5. constipation - i deserve a treat for poo-ing! um, yeah...it's kind of a big deal!
6. forgetfullness - i think i threw away my keys, and i cant find my yogurt!
7. constant eating - i need food ASAP or you will be sorry! and so will i.
8. klutziness - everything i touch ends up on the floor, and i bump in to everything in sight (walls, doorways, little kiddos... you name it!) this may largely be due to the fact that i constantly underestimate the amount of space this huge belly will actually need.
9. leg cramps - i woke up with a mad charlie horse in the middle of the night!
10. tastiness. some things are just so dang tasty! i live to eat pears and brush my teeth!
11. baby moves! and she kicks, and she punches, and she jabs, and she cartwheels, and she somersaults...
12. carpal tunnel? yeah pretty sure my right hand is consta-asleep.
13. puffy! my feet are just plain puffy. oh, and can we say kankles? (is that how you spell that?!)
this post i wrote as a sidebar thingy. but i decided it was time to move the preggo stuff out of the way since, you know, BabyDallie is here!
