The things no one warns you about...

• Baby's kick...but they don't always just kick you in the belly.  They also sometimes like to kick you in the lady bits.  Not fun.
• When you are sick while pregnant, there is NOTHING you can take that has 0 chance of harming the baby.  Every single medication out there poses some slight risk to the baby.  Even the medicines that your OB tells you you can take....yea those ones have risks too.
• When you are sick, and you sneeze, you will pee yourself.  And not just a little bit.  A lot.
• Boobs don't just leak after your milk comes in...there's this fun stuff, called colostrum, that can leak as early as 16 weeks in my case.
• That full and lustrous hair that pregnant women are supposed to get?  Yea, apparently not everyone gets that because it's yet to kick in for me.
• No matter how in shape you are, you will feel like a whale when that belly starts to grow.

These are all fun facts of pregnancy that no one warns you about, but in spite of all of this, it's still totally fun and an amazing experience.

Something that Doctors and pregnancy books don't tell you...

...is that it's perfectly normal for your breasts to start leaking colostrum at 18 weeks.  Yea, definitely didn't know that one until yesterday.

Ginger Tea

Giving it a shot...

My dessert of choice lately...

The best thing ever.

If you have ever suffered from morning sickness, car sickness, or any nausea in general, you should check out Psi Bands.  I bought a pair off of Amazon for about $15 and they are amazing.  The idea is that they apply acupressure to a point on your wrist that relieves nausea.  So far, I say they work.  I've worn them all day and haven't felt sick once, and I was actually able to eat 2 full meals today!

I've grown an inch!

But not on the bump....no, no...I've gained an inch in the tatas!  Yikes!  I'm scared about how big they're going to get in another 7 1/2 months!

4 weeks: Day 2

Still no "major" pregnancy symptoms.  The only ones I've been experiencing are peeing all the time, growing cramps, and starting yesterday, the dreaded constipation!  Although it's uncomfortable, at least I don't have morning sickness!  Cross your fingers that it continues to be that way.  We are 1 week and 4 days away from our first appointment, and I'm SO excited!
