On Being Pregnant – I Hope I Learned Something The First Time Around

January 19, 2011

With Mr. Boy, I was a sweetly naive first time preggo.  The Little Lady’s adoption, in so many ways, was a piece of CAKE compared to the trials and tribulations of being pregnant. . . hormonal . . . crazy . . . tired. . . being BIG and CUMBERSOME . . .

Aug. 25th, 2009 -- about 15 hours before Mr. Boy made his appearance.

You get the picture.

This morning, I went through my archive of “When I Was Pregnant in 2009” posts, and WOW.  I had forgotten how really insane I was.  And emotional.  And I had the weirdest dreams.

If you’re bored and want to laugh at the expense of someone else, here’s a glimpse of my first journey into the pregnant realm in 2009.

(you’re probably going to feel sorry for my Hubby after reading these)

  • When you find out you’re pregnant, it’s not always a sweet moment and your Hubby might catch you with your pants down: The One Where I Find Out
  • When you’re pregnant, you kind of get tired and lazy: I Need A Housekeeper
  • When you’re pregnant, you might dream of getting milked like a cow:   You Know You’re Pregnant When…
  • When you’re pregnant, you have “Manly” burps and you make God laugh:   Poof I Must Make God Giggle
  • When you’re pregnant, you relish every little bitty development:   It’s Hard Work Making Nipples
  • When you’re pregnant, don’t EVER leave your bra at home:   PSA: Don’t Leave Home Without It
  • When you’re pregnant, you’ll start “Nesting” but your hubby won’t:   My Dear Sweet Husband
  • When you’re pregnant, there’s a good chance you WON’T look like a preggo supermodel:   Can We Talk About Stretchmarks
  • When you’re pregnant, you’ll have to teach your toddler that “Pregnant Boobies” aren’t grappling hooks:    The Embarrassing Side of Toddler Education
  • When you’re pregnant, the word of the day is LACTATION:    Holy Cow — Emphasis on the “Cow” Part

Here’s to hoping this pregnancy is a little less “interesting.”
