10 Things This Pregnancy Taught Me
1. It may be hard at times, but I can love my body at any size. It produces beautiful children, after all. Heck – I even “exposed” myself with a pregnancy bikini picture!
2. Men like to play games. Little Braedon teased me over and over with false labor. Then, he took me for the ride of my life with the crazy labor & delivery at the most unexpected of times.
3. I have crappy mother’s intuition. I woke up certain I would be going into labor certain days, but my gut instinct would always prove wrong. The one day I knew I wouldn’t go into labor….my water broke.
4. The pregnancy card rocks. It scored me a better deal at the gym and helped us get out of a crowded Christmas event without a problem Score!
5. People search crazy stuff on Google. I have seen some interesting hits to my site based off pregnancy-related things I discussed. I can only hope it was a preteen girl searching “bloody panties”.
6. You all are quite the supportive bunch to listen to me talk about bloody panties, crazy stunts like eating eggplant parmesan to induce labor, and my endless pregnancy rants.
7. Patience is tough, but a valuable lesson in trust. Only God could have worked everything out like it did.
8. Old wives tales don’t work. Although they can be fun.
9. Sometimes there are no greater things in life than feeling pain or wetting yourself. I would have jumped for joy if I could have after my contractions started with the “pre-water” breaking.
10. Sugar is addictive. Those pregnancy cravings were brutal! Although I didn’t mind satisfying them with my fair share of sweets.
