So yes, about 10+ weeks along and "enjoying" the full spectrum of pregnancy symptoms. First, it is a cruel joke that everyone acts like the peeing thing doesn't start until your baby is big enough to rest on your bladder - not so much - my baby is the size of a prune apparently and I still pee about 18 times a night - I feel like an old man! And the "glowing"? I think not. I haven't had a complexion this bad...well...ever...I guess that means high school couldn't have been too bad, and THANK GOD I know how to apply makeup! I have also become a slave to the evening sickness that the Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy told me to call "progesterone poisoning" - it really sucks - especially when you have a husband like mine who can actually grill really well and it sounds great until about an hour before I am supposed to eat it - at which time I feel like I should crawl into a ball.
Also - I have a hard time believing that women who are beyond their desire to have anymore children are honestly trying to be helpful when they fill you in about all of their own horrible symptoms. It seems to be that the first thing out of someone's mouth when they realize you are pregnant is: "Soooo, has THIS happened to you yet?" And if they have not actually had a child of their own yet they settle for telling you THE WORST childbirth story they ever heard about a friend-of-a-friend (I choose to believe they are Urban Myths). I even was in for a bikini wax the other day when the woman decided to inform me about her FULL BEARD that she grew when pregnant. Seriously? I don't even know you! I think it is all a conspiracy against emotional fragile pregnant women - ridiculous!
