A few of the things I've learned so far about being pregnant:

• The burps that result from Omega-3 Fish Oil capsules are of the devil.
• Forgetting your dogs' names is acceptable. Forgetting your husband's is not.
• I miss balance. That is all.
• It only takes a matter of months to master the act of getting up 5 times a night to pee without ever opening your eyes.
• Babies R Us is a scary place. Also, they should have a bathroom in each corner of the store.
• Watching other people drink is boring.
• Girlfriends and sisters know more than any book, period.
• A hungry woman in a grocery store can be dangerous. A hungry pregnant woman in a grocery store is a recipe for disaster.
• When a dumbass stranger at the mall comments that you look like you're having twins, and you aren't, you will forever regret not saying anything in response.
• Despite the fear of labor that will strike you consistently throughout these nine months, this baby does have to come out - so you better deal with it.
• Having a husband that endures the mood swings, whims, and cravings is a gift from God.
• Even if you think the constant nausea will never end, it will.
• Unsolicited advice comes from everywhere.
• Laughing until you cry and crying until you laugh is wholly interchangeable.
• Watching birthing shows on TLC and Discovery is a bad, bad idea.
• Naming your unborn child is much harder than you'd think.
• After the first time you feel your baby kick, your life will never be the same.
