Things I learned while being pregnant....

1. I hate throwing up.  HATE it.  And I had it pretty easy in that department.  Maybe threw up 6 or 7 times.  But I cried each time. 
2.  Zofran is a miracle drug.
3.  The sight and smell of raw meat is nasty. 
3.  Pregnancy dreams are insane.  Since you can't control what you dream all the dreams I had about ex-boyfriends are completely allowable....sorry Chris! 
4.  Everyone treats you differently.  I learned to enjoy it, but not until the end.  Independant me didn't like all the fuss and attention but towards the end I appreciated it, mainly because I just could not do what I used to do.
5.  You learn who your friends are.  I won't elaborate. 
6.  I didn't realize my feet would grow 2 whole sizes.  Ish.  I have yet to try on my pre-preggo shoes.  I'm hoping I don't have to go shoe shopping.  I am not a "shoe" girl.  Would much rather spend the money on new clothes. 
7.  I waited and waited to start nesting, just knowing it would eventually hit me and my house would be immaculate.  Never happened.  Didn't feel the urge to clean one bit and even if I did, I probably would have just sat my butt on the couch and watched the Kardashians, waiting for the urge to pass. 
8.  It took me a couple months to figure out my baby was hiccuping inside me.  I just figured he/she had really good rhythm.  Duh mommy.
9.  I could sleep for 2 days and still be tired.
10.  My husband is simply amazing. 
  

39 weeks

Here is a pic at 39 weeks.  I was still dilated to 3 cm and I believe 70% effaced.  All the appointments at the end seemed to run together. 

Swollen feet

This is what I was dealing with during the end of my pregnancy....I didn't even remember what it was like to have normal feet.  And yes, it did hurt.  It felt like the backs of my feet were going to split wide open, kind of like a big blister.  And that was just my feet.  I was swollen everywhere.  Even my knees hurt.
