- not done one single dish.
- vomited over fifty times (in case you were jealous about the dish situation).
- gained twenty pounds.
- eaten fifteen slices of pizza from Costco.
- tried Taco Bell for the first time.
- not slept through the night once.
- missed all of tomato season.
- read eight books about babies, give or take.
- begun having freaky nightmares every night.
- convinced myself that I will give birth to an intersex child and move to an intersex-friendly community (maybe Portland?).

- peed on the bathroom floor due to the forcefulness of my dry heaves. I was kind of proud.
- had sore abs from vomiting. Again, pride.
- contracted a bladder infection.

love it- this made me laugh so hard- xo
you're pregnant!!!! so. freakin. awesome. can't wait to hear all the advice you get ;)
One thing that really helps with the hormonal mayhem, is researching over-priced baby gizmos (fancy European strollers and what not) I just became the proud owner of a refurbished "mama-roo". Check it out the next time you find yourself on the bathroom floor with a laptop at arms length.
