Lessons Learned

So many people have asked me why I have not sent out emails updating everyone on my pregnancy. Honestly, I didn't even think about it! But I guess if I send out updates of my many travels I could at least send out updates of this life forming inside me! :)


                          My mom says that I write like I talk...so y'all bear with me.

As I sat here thinking about how to update everyone on the past 6 months, I just stared at a blank screen for a couple of hours. So many things have changed that I didn't even know where to start. So I decided to make a list of things that I have learned over the past 6 months. Hopefully this list will entertain you as it did me while I made it :) So...enjoy!

1. First lesson I learned...being on the pill AND using a condom doesn't always prevent pregnancy :)
2. Too many emotions run through you when that stick turns blue
3.. The look your husband gives you when you tell him you are pregnant is priceless
4. The look on your family's faces is also priceless....especially if you have only been married for a couple of weeks :)
5. Finding a good doctor is SO important...
6.ALWAYS have an extra pair of panties and pants in your car...those sneezes sneak up on you!
7. It is always a good idea to know where the bathroom is in your first trimester...it is not fun to get sick in front of people
8. Chewable prenatal vitamins are just as effective as the others you have to swallow...and they taste better!
9. Always carry deodorant and/or smelly, spray stuff with you...especially in those HOT months :)
10. Listen to the advice of everyone...but you ultimately know what is best for you and your child
11. Your husband can actually cook for himself! Even if it is those microwaveable dinners...
12. Your body is basically invaded by a foreign lifeform that controls almost EVERYTHING.
13. People seem to be much nicer and much more annoying all at the same time
14. You are constantly praying (about any and everything!)
15. Feeling the baby kick is probably the BEST feeling in the world.
16. Your tummy is the most remarkable thing in the world...it just keeps growing and growing and growing!
17. Sleeping on your side sucks (sorry mom...that is the only word that works) :)
18. The love and connection that develops between you and your child is unlike anything you have ever experienced.

I could go on and on and on...but you are probably tiered of reading this :) So...there ya go y'all! Some of the things I've learned so far. I hope you enjoyed. Keep your eyes out for more

Until all have heard,
