Important Things I've Learned in 6 months of Pregnancy

• Your doctor doesn't think it's funny when you ask if a couple of Tequila shots before bed to help you sleep better will be OK.
• Experienced moms laugh A LOT at first time pregnant women.
• You will waddle (no matter how much you've said, "I will NOT waddle when I get bigger.")
• Everyone is full of advice on things you already know, but no advice on things you really need help with.
• You had no idea that heartburn this bad existed within the human body ON A DAILY, NON-STOP BASIS.
• It's possible to not care about your weight gain for 2 entire years and then become freaky obsessed with gaining weight during pregnancy WHEN YOU SHOULD BE GAINING WEIGHT.
• Rubber bands can be used creatively in a bunch of ways in your wardrobe.
• When you want biscuits with grape jelly and butter, you will drag yourself out of bed at midnight to make them.
• Your favorite food (Mexican food) now makes you throw up every time you eat it. Every time. Every. Single. Time.
• You can't find the only ice cream you crave (BUBBLE GUM...*duh*) ANYWHERE, not even on the Internet.
• It will only take your OB-GYN office 6 months to FINALLY figure out you're pregnant.
• People are much nicer and give you cool free stuff (why didn't I think of this sooner?!?)
• When weepy pregnancy hormones make you cry at the TOE PICK movie you've seen 172 times, your friends will laugh at you.
• Your husband can't say "LOOK HOW BIG YOUR BOOBS ARE!" enough.
• Pregnancy only magnifies your TRUE personality (which means I'm in deep doodoo).
• You can fall into a dead sleep sitting up on the couch, but be wide awake for hours when you go to bed.
• You have a brand new appreciation for mundane things you took for granted before (like breathing and bending over...)
• You wonder if anyone else cares about your pregnancy but you and your husband.
• Not EVERYONE gets the nesting instinct.
• If you throw up a little bit in your mouth while you're sleeping, you will wake up (thank goodness!)
• You will never sleep a full night again. EVER.

And the last thing I've learned after 6 months of pregnancy?
You still crave Margaritas (and those people who told you that you won't want alcohol are liars. Or haters. Or both.).
