Top Ten Truths About Being Pregnant

 1.  Morning sickness lasts all day and all night and makes you want to climb walls.

 2.  You might lie about your due date just a little bit in order to appear smaller than you are.

 3.  The thought that you have a full blown human in your stomach will amaze you, endear you and terrify you depending on the moment.

 4.  You will leak from everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE.

 5.  You will love your full-body pillow at night way more than your husband.

 6.  You will count the days until your sonograms and afterwards spend hours studying what looks like shadows to other people.

 7.  Your baby's hiccups will bring you to tears because you will know exactly where he or she is at that very moment and exactly what they are doing.

 8.  You will look with amazement between your legs (as much as you can look anyway) and think about labor: "There is just no way..."

 9.  You will envy a non-pregnant woman at least once during your pregnancy: either for her tiny, defined waist or that delicious glass of wine she will hold in her hand.

 10. You would smear dog poop on your stomach if it could guarantee no stretch marks in the end.
