Pregnancy Quirks

OK, so pregnancy really does change everything, I can only imagine how life will change once the baby is born! Here are a few things that have changed for me:

  • I DETEST Coffee - Can't even stand the smell
  • Everyone is always asking "How are you?" with a concerned look on their face
  • Food has lost its interest
  • But I do latch on to some foods, right now it is strawberries
  • People give you all sorts of free stuff: car seat, stroller, maternity clothes
  • Pets become EXCEEDINGLY ANNOYING
  • Getting out of bed before 7:30 or 8 has become impossible
  • The couch has become the place I eternally long for
  • I work less (thankfully I have a flexible job!!)
  • I went from loving to hating grocery shopping almost overnight
  • Everything from going to the store to climbing the stairs requires a cost/benefit analysis

Excuse my last post... I was trying to quickly write the ridiculous bunch of letters in "google nonsense copy speak" that actually look like my students' spelling in their journals, when "lo and behold" I was PUBLISHED! What a humiliating experience for a teacher... anyways... I wanted to ask you, "How are you?" I have a concerned look on my face as I ask.

I SO RELATE to this post. It well describes my feelings while being pregnant with both of my children. And since you were there when I went from loving to hating the smell of coffee, you now understand. Lots of rest--no guilt. And yes, how is the father-to-be? -rlr

LOL! Yep - that would be pregnancy! I think the one thing that still totally amazes me is how tired I could be getting more sleep than ever before. :-)

Isn't it funny the foods that you find yourself really liking? For a while I couldn't get enough of loaded baked potatoes :-) And yeah, the tired thing never ceases to amaze me!
