Things I've learned

There are a few things people just don't tell you will happen to you when you're pregnant. They might mention it in passing but maybe there's a secret rule that mothers can't tell first time pregnant women the things that your body does. For example:

1. Your bladder. I knew the part where it works in overtime but nobody mentions the part where it doesn't work. These prove for really embarrassing moments.

2. Did you know that another woman overtakes your body while you're pregnant? She's happy one moment and then the next moment it's like the crazy Brittney Spears invades your body and you want to punch out every car window with an umbrella.
3. Coordination is non-existent. Matt watches me every morning hit every wall on my way to the bathroom. Sometimes I feel like this girl.

4. You cry a lot and there is no explanation for it. I cry in commercials, I cried when I wrapped Christmas gifts, I cried when Santa's sleigh flew over the crowd in Elf. I just even might cry writing this post.

5. Your hair falls out. Not just a strand here and there. I'm talking handfuls at a time. This actually gave us a clue something was up before we knew for sure we were pregnant.

6. I heard that you become a little ditzy but losing your mind is another thing. The other day at work I could not for the life of me grasp that 2*3 did not equal 5. After about 5 minutes of going over it in my head and counting on my fingers I realized that 2*3 does not equal 5 but 2+3=5.

So, if you know of anything else to watch for please let me know. That is if you're not in the mom club that can't give out the secrets.
