Things I wish I knew before...

I am now 26 weeks pregnant, wahoo! I have began to compile a list of things I wish I knew before I was pregnant. Some of these maybe TMI but I am warning you now, you dont need to read this.

Feel free to add to the list, I think it would be fun!

*You will only tan the front of your body. I never thought about this while being pregnant during the summer. I knew I would be hot and uncomfortable but have a werid tan too?! The front of my legs have nice color, but please dont stare at the back. You might be blinded from how white they are!

*Sneezing and running nose. I do not have allergies, I am lucky. But I sneeze constantly and always need to blow my nose. A super werid thing is my bugers are always bloody. I never knew I would have bloody bugers when pregnant. But it does make sense because you have more blood flow to all the mucus membranes

*Surprising tinkles. Not all the time but sometimes when I sneeze or laugh I have to be careful I don't wet my pants. I know this will only get worse.

*It really is hard to move around. You never really know or understand till you are pregnant yourself. If I bend over too much in one day, it is painful. It is hard and awkward to get up off the couch all the time now. And I feel like I need to roll over when laying down to get up.

*Not just your belly but EVERYTHING gets bigger. And no I am not talking about my boobs. I am glad that I am wearing maternity clothes because I dont want to face how much bigger my butt thighs have gotten.

*I am starting to swell...I think my wedding rings are going to stay on till my little Bee is born

*I can't wear high heels anymore, I will trip over everything.

*It is perfectly normal to bleed during pregnacy, especially when the cervix is irritated. I freaked out when I bleed the first time and I am SOOO glad it is nothing to worry about!

*When the baby kicks, it really does feel like gas bubbles in there. No Joke!

*I used to have a good memory. Now I have to write everything down, I can't spell or talk half the time!

Let me know if there is anything else to look forward to...I really do LOVE being pregnant!
