Stuff they don't tell you...Part who knows!

It's been a while since the last time I have posted a "Stuff they don't tell you" so I figured it was time...although these are things that I have come to learn along the way, I figured I would share a few of them with my followers (still not sure anyone actually reads this) on this lovely day!

So enjoy part who knows of "Stuff They Don't Tell You"

**********************

Over the last 26 weeks, which at times doesn’t sound like much, but feels like a heck of a lot longer – I have come to realize several things about pregnancy that I feel like sharing. Maybe it is because no one really ever told me, well maybe they did, and I just didn’t listen. But it is now my turn to pass on this infinite wisdom to those I feel deserve to know the inner working of this world known as “pregnancy.”

-        You sneeze. No joke, I don’t think I have ever sneezed this much in my life. Its like allergy season mixed with pepper mixed with the result of a bad trip through the perfume aisle at Macy’s. And no longer are they the cute little sneezes that used to end in “chew” (that my wonderful husband still makes fun of me for) but they are massive, blow your brains out, hope you brought a box of tissue type of sneeze that if not braced, could blow you off your chair.

-        No wonder I am always thirsty! I feel like I am leaking out of every orifice of my body. My eyes water, my nose runs, my mouth has managed to make more saliva that it knows what to do with, and don’t even get me started on what is going on below my mouth. Its not pretty!

-        Where is the bathroom? I am not kidding you, I am in the bathroom every 45 minutes. And I am not sure if that is because the baby and my uterus is pressing on my bladder, or if it because I have been tasked with drinking enough water to flood the desert, but I have since made sure that I am able to locate the restrooms at every point during my day.

-        Smell that? Yes that was me, yes I know it smells like something died, yes I am well aware that you think it’s gross, and no there is seriously not anything I can do about it. Don’t blame me, blame your daughter.

Well that should about wrap it up for this installment of "Stuff They Don't Tell You" - tune in next time, whenever that may be for another round!

Also - ladies that are currently or have ever been pregnant - please share with me some of the things you wish you would have known prior to this joyous experience!
