There I said it....

Well I guess I can say it on here, since the one person that even reads this already knows and the rest of the world will know by Tuesday....
I am pregnant.
In the last 15 weeks of pregnancy some very funny or interesting moments have happened along with some "really?" moments where I learned something totally new and here is my list of them...

1. To start off, I am fifteen weeks pregnant but the little friend in my belly has actually only been there thirteen weeks.  Yes, pregnancy counts the two weeks before the little peanut is even made as part of the pregnancy. Weird? Yes, I agree.
2. The two of them.... those things that eventually will be a main food source for the baby... yea they get big quick! Already gained a whole bra cup... What the heck is going to happen in the next 15 weeks or the 10 after that?
3. There is a monopoly on preggo clothes. I think it is crappy that there are very limited clothing choices when it comes to maternity clothes. I am just beginning to show and so a little more space in my clothes is already something that makes my day go a little smoother. However, NO I don't want big horizontal stripes, NO I don't want a big bow that sits on my belly, and NO I don't want to only wear baby blue and pastel pink.
4. This piggy backs on the preggo clothes monopoly.... When I do find clothes that would be cute and would fit, they are always full price and never on sale and the only time they go on sale, is when there is only size XL or XS or in the color that I don't like or would look awful on me...
5. Speaking of looking awful. Hormones can do interesting things... the thing that hormones have done to me the most? Weepy? Angry? Giggly? Oh, no.... ZIT FACE! Break out central... and nothing fixes it!
6. Ok, complaint mode off... Here is a funny one: When you are pregnant and start telling people instead of a simple 'Congrats' or 'You will love being a parent' or even 'You will be a great mom' you hear: 'When I was pregnant..... (gross, gross, gross)... (blah, blah, blah)......' I have heard about people having irish twins, nights of no sleep, miscariages, getting pregnant "just because my husband looked at me".... People are hilarious when you say that you are pregnant. They will tell you damn near anything about themselves, most of it you wouldn't even want to know about yourself!
7. The first trimester brings you new things, prenatal vitamins, uncontrolable tiredness and waking up in the middle of the night to pee.... And when you do get up to go to the bathroom... good luck falling back to sleep...
8. Oh speaking of prenatal vitamins. I had a really bad day one day. I learned from my very smart sister that I needed to eat some protien when taking this heavily iron loaded pill.  That was the last bad day I  had (well that was vitamin related).
9. A little math riddle... 1 day of forgotten prenatal -accident, 2 days of forgotten prenatal - coincidence, 3 days of forgotten prenatal - oh crap a bad habit has formed!
10. Sonograms are fun! One day you get one and you see this little peanut, you go back a month or two later and you suddenly have a bouncing baby waving, dancing, fist pumping it is a baby after his or her daddy!
11. When you tell people that you are pregnant you hear things like "I thought you were getting poochy", "So-n-so, so-n-so, and so-n-so and I have been talking about you all week. We just knew that you were pregnant", and "I just knew it! Your boobs are sooooo big!!!"
12. I finally convinced myself and my husband of the following: It doesn't matter who knows at this point....A. We are happily married. B. We are adults. C. It is my husband's baby. (no Montel paternity test needed!) D. I am starting to show.....
13. I am a belly toucher. So I feel a bit hipocritical saying this but I really think that people shouldn't be allowed to touch a pregnant belly during the first trimester.... I mean really the only thing that you are touching is the fat roll I rolled into this pregnancy on.... so please stop. Or I will touch yours!
14. I miss Bloody Mary's, Beer, Wine, and Hot Toddy's.....
15. It feels really good when you pick out something to register for (side bar: When do you start registering? I need to look that one up!) and you find out that it has the top safety rating! Bonus!!

See you back here in 10 to 15 weeks for my newest rant, laugh, and/or update on this first time pregnancy business!
