Things I learned this week...

-To not be offended when an elderly patient in a wheelchair looks at my belly and says, "are you expecting a child or is that just gas?" (yes, that really happened)

-Scrub pants do NOT grow with your growing pregnant ass. I bent over today and the crotch tore. I almost cried.

-What everyone means by pregnancy meltdown because I had one today. After I got home from work (the day of the great crotch tear), I struggled terribly trying to figure out what to wear to the grocery store. I felt like a frump in my "comfy" VS sweats and the only 2 pairs of jeans that fit right now were dirty or in the washer, so I turned to a pair of loose fitting work out pants that I knew wouldn't fail me...however, they did. They were tight and uncomfortable. I completely fell apart. I ripped them off and stood in the closet in my underwear crying. It was a pathetic sight. Luckily, I have the sweetest husband in the whole world who knew just what to say and he made sure we made it to the store in one piece...my lifesaver.

-I probably painted my toenails for the last time during this pregnancy. I can barely bend over, let alone sit on the ground and REACH my toes. (Sigh)

I may sound like a complainer but, the truth is, I really have NOTHING to complain about. This pregnancy has been pretty much flawless so far. I feel great, I haven't been sick or even nauseous one bit, no heartburn and lots of energy. I feel extremely fortunate for that being that almost all my friends who are pregnant right now felt like crap for the first few weeks. I am telling myself that because things have been so easy up to this point (I just knocked on wood BTW), our little darling is going to be an easy baby. Logical theory right? I'll let you know how that turns out for me in about 4 months...
