Already, I've learned so much...
1. Prenatal vitamins are evil. Seriously... who in the world created something that would make you bloated, nauseous and constipated all at the same time? Certainly these were developed by men who claim that they help the baby, but torture the mother-to-be. I've learned... take at night before bed.
2. Never ever... and I meant ever... pass a bathroom opportunity. I always made fun of pregnant ladies saying they had to pee all the time. Believe me, this is no joking matter. I've learned... forget about being modest, if you gotta go, you gotta go and it doesn't matter where you are.
3. There is a monster that invades your closet and shrinks your clothes. The monster attacked my shirts first making them short and tight. Any lowcut shirts seem to be cut even lower revealing much, too much cleavage. This week it decided to attack my pants making my stomach roll over the top of... ugh. It has also seemed to be hitting Jereme's side of the closet (more to come on that later). I've learned... unbutton pants whenever you can get away with it and I am lucky that babydoll shirts are in style.
4. Empty stomach, what? I've learned... don't let this happen. And, warn your hubby to be prepared for emergency situations.
5. My boobs feel like I ran 4 miles without a bra on. Ladies, please warn your husbands that these are not toys. I've learned... support is key.
6. Ice cream, hmm, I love ice cream! I've learned... have several flavors at home at all times.
7. SLEEP is now more important that any other obligation I may have. I seriously don't care how much Jereme makes fun of me... I need naps! Nothing is better than a 12 hour snooze, waking up, eating breakfast and then taking your mid-morning nap. I've learned... sleep now, as I likely won't be getting any in the future.
8. Any arguement I have ever had with Jereme while drinking, I automatically win. He makes absolutely no sense. Nor do other drunk people. I've learned... best to take notes now and remember not to act this way after the baby is born.
Oh, there is so much more to learn, I am sure. Enough for now.

Your post made me laugh because everything you said is so true!
So much more to learn... like how to pretend you didn't pass gass in the middle of a group (around 8-9mos), being excited to take your pants off at the Doc's office so they can "check" you...if you're lucky you wont have to put tape over your belly button cause it sticks out so far... hopr you're feeling great.
You make me laugh out loud, Sara! Have you learned the rubber band trick (to stretch your waistband and prolong the wearing of maternity pants) yet? You'll love looking back at these posts some day!
Everything you said is so true - I could actually picture you saying all this as I was reading it. I agree with Michelle - The rubber band trick is the best.
