1. Whoever said it was 9 months is stupid. 40 weeks = 10 months.
2. It is SO hard to shave your legs.
3. You will soon forget what your bikini line looks like...opps.
4. The exhaustion in first trimester returns in the end.
5. The emotions....oh. my. GOSH! out of control.
6. I want to poke out the eyes of anyone who says, "I only gained 18 pounds when I was pregnant..." Literally.
7. Your stomach gets so big in the end, that there's not room to eat a full meal.
8. Getting in and out of a car without grunting is a challenge.
9. EVERYONE wants to share their birthing stories with you. Whether you want to hear them or not.
10. Everyone has advice for a pregnant woman. Some of the advice I have heard (unsolicited):
a. Toughen up your nipples now (I swear, I have heard this from someone... to whom I am NOT related!)
b. Start freezing some food now, you will need it later
c. Don't eat chocolate; it's bad for the baby
d. Put oils on your belly to prevent stretch marks
e. Stretch out your legs now to stay flexible for delivery
(I swear, these are some of the tips I have gotten! These are only SOME of them! hahaha)
11. I will never, NEVER, ask a pregnant woman how much weight she has gained.
12. Swelling can happen at any time....even if you have never swelled in your whole life!
I have loved being pregnant and it really is fun to grow a baby in my belly! I am to the point now where I think it's funny to make lists like this one so that I will always remember being 15 months pregnant...okay, 10 months....
There is a doctor's appointment tomorrow to see if there is any progress...fingers crossed!!!
