For some reason, unknown to me, I thought growing a baby would be easy. I didn't expect things to change until Baby got here. I have no idea why I thought that. None. After all, I read the Funny Gals blogs the whole time they wrote about their pregnancies. Posts that were often tagged, "Growing a Baby is Hard Work." But, somewhere in my crazy little mind, I figured all I would have to do was to take my vitamin everyday and go to my doctor appointments once a month. It's not like I actually had to think about putting the baby together. Eye here...nose there... let's slap a vagina on it.... no, my body does that all by itself, it doesn't NEED me for that. Pfft, Silly Sam.
The first few weeks that I knew I was pregnant were exhausting. I would go to bed at 8 o'clock. If I wasn't home at 8 o'clock, I would fall asleep wherever I was... like time I feel asleep on the couch at my grandfather-in-law's and woke up with his dog, Elsa, making out with me. ick.
Then came the sickness. OMG, the sickness. Week 5-6, I was so excited. I wasn't sick or queasy and I said to myself, "I'm not going to be sick at all for this pregnancy." Then my MIL's lasagna revisited me one night and I threw up EVERYTHING for about 7.5 weeks. I threw up enough to lose 12lbs. Everything smelled horrible. The garlic dipping sauce for the pizza, the garbage and my husband. It got to the point where I would beg him to put his socks in a bag on the porch, he thought I was crazy.
I'm doing better now. I get really bad heartburn at times and I still get sick on and off, but not nearly as bad. However, next girl who tells me how much she LOVED being pregnant is getting knocked down.

I LOVED being pregnant. Come find me...lol BTW since Aunt Flow isn't visiting you did you tell her to stop by my house every 2-3 weeks instead of 4? SO Not cool.So not nice.
heartburn = lotsa of hair thats what they say. But all my babies were bald. Ask ur doc for some phenergan- it may help:)

When are you due?
Yeah, SJ always hated when I told her how much I loved being pregnant, too. You're probably sick of hearing it, but it does get easier. Hopefully you're one of the people who has an easy, breezy second trimester (and, though you're probably hearing this all over the place, too, it's true: it's worth it in the end!)
OK - I'm coming out of bloggy retirement to say I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. I did love being pregnant - most days - at least, in retrospect. I have to go back and read my previous material to know that it was in fact, very difficult to throw up everyday at work. And the 2 hour commutes when I was 8 months preggo were tough on the bladder.
I'm SO HAPPY for you though!!! And I feel your pain. I really do. If it helps, I still want another one.
