These Things I Know Are True: What I've Learned In the First Trimester
10:03 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
As my first trimester draws to a close, I thought I'd pass along some of the valuable tidbits I've learned over the last several weeks:
1. Starting at about the 8 week mark, your pregnancy alter-ego starts to show up at very unexpected and inopportune times—and she is not nice.
2. Your significant other will start to worry if the sweet little woman he fell in love with is ever coming back.
3. You will start to pray (for the sake of your relationship and your sanity) that she will come back someday.
4. Prissy girls be warned: You WILL break wind in front of other people, whether it’s your significant other, your co-workers, or everyone in the produce aisle at Wal-Mart. You have two choices: You can either cough really loudly or you can swear that you just saw a wild, rabid duck running by.
5. At some point in time, you will go to bed at 7:45 p.m. and you will love it.
6. You will frequently be seen by others with a blank look on your face because you’ve just forgotten what the heck you were right in the middle of doing.
7. Being able to say, “Oh yeah? You try growing a human and see if you feel like (insert here: cooking supper, doing laundry, vacuuming the carpet, sweeping the floor, cleaning the bathroom, being romantic, and basically anything else you need an excuse to get out of) never gets old!
I can't wait to see what I learn in the second trimester!
