I cannot tell you how many times during the months while I was pregnant that I thought, "tonight, when I get home I am going to sit down and write something on that blog...." Well, every time I would get home I would find myself too sleepy to care about a blog and before I knew it, we were heading to the hospital to have the baby and my opportunity to blog about being pregnant was over. So here are the highlights:
**The worst part of being preggo for me was the heartburn. (I know, I'm so lucky!)
**I had no morning sickness at all, not once.
**The day that I finally noticed my ankles swelling I cried in the bathroom for 15 minutes. Lucky for me this did not happen till month 7!!
**The most eventful part of my pregnancy was at the end when my blood pressure elevated slightly and I got put on a modified work schedule....8 months preggo and I get to sleep in till 11:00 a.m. every day, yes please!
**I was convinced for a short period of time that the baby might be a hermaphrodite and would be born with pearl teeth. Insanity, I know. To make matters worse, I would email or text Brent no less than 3 times a day regarding said concerns until we went for the sonogram where we could have found out if we were having a boy or girl. When the day finally came, the technician asked me if we wanted to know the sex and I told her all I wanted was confirmation that the baby was not in fact a hermaphrodite, she looked at me crazy, told me no one had ever asked her that before and assured me that the baby was not a hermaphrodite. Brent just shook his head.
All in all, I had the most uneventful pregnancy of all time, (which I am thankful for every day). Honestly, I don't really know what I would have written about, so I feel like I saved myself a lot of time by being a blogging slacker. I am going to try and be a better blogger though, if nothing else, maybe it will force to me to spend a little time reflecting on all the amazing blessings I have...including my beautiful little boy!!!
