Many people are sure to ask me, in the days to come, what the joys are of being pregnant. I have a hard time choosing. Could it be that i feel like i spend half of my life at the moment with my face wedged into a toilet bowl or sick bucket? could it be the fact i now have the super power to cry for no reason? could it be the swear word inducing pain coming from my boobs? or could it be the fact that it seems like whenever my DH asks "where are you?" it's very quickly followed by the words "let me guess...on the toilet. AGAIN?"? oooo so many choices!
I have to say all joking aside, being pregnant has it's advantages and itsn't all bad. Having boobs that
have gone up AT LEAST a cup size is a great way to convince my DH that it's his turn to cook tea. I have lovely-ish skin due to the fact that i can quite easily drink a litre of water in a day and half that at night, but that'll be the midnight picnics i have been enjoying for damn near 12 weeks.i have the skin type of a 17 year old teenage boy. it's oily and blemishy and is NOT described as lovely. I still have the odd blemish or two but at least now it's not as blemishy so it gets described as the modern day plague...
I have acquired a few things to my repetoire. Let's count them off 1) I have now added a new snore to my array of sex noises, grunting and talking complete crap in my sleep. The new snore consists of some 'random' noise (apparently) and then by a rendition of teeth chattering...2) the ability to eat fish and only fish (fish fingers being my favourite, but only if they are cooked to perfection which is NOT burnt or as my DH says 'bacon crispy'...which as the down side makes my wee smell of fish...NOT pleasant! C) my memory has turned from ok-ish to just plain rubbish. in the 50 steps from the living room sofa to the kettle in the kitchen i have managed to fantastically forget what hot drink my DH wants...so i make him a sandwich instead and hope that was what he wanted and he looks at me like i've gone mad. 4) I have (despite loosing a little bit of weight) now found that all my pre pregnancy nice girly knickers no longer fit, so now i am meandering around town in the kind of pants your mum would describe as 'winter pants' or as Bridgette Jones so accuratley titled them 'Passion killers' they're the kind of knickers you pull up and they sit that high they keep your nips warm. 5) if my jeans do not have an elasticated waist then they do NOT make it into my pregnancy wardrobe! altho much to my chagrin they have 2 EXCELLENT benefits, one, they allow me to bend over to pick that 20p piece up off the floor without hearing "is it a full moon out?!" and two: they are SOOOOO comfortable, when regular jeans seem to dig in around the waist band and feel so restrictive. These elasticated beauties are a GOD SEND and if you havn't snuck out to secretly try on a pair and buy them, then i heartily recommend you do! But DO NOT tell anyone. On pain of death! 6)I have a new appreciation for the hamcheesemustard wrap. Let me explain this delicacy! it's two slices of ham with a thin layer of english mustard (not too much or your face will melt) and then a slice of cheese, i prefer a cheddar and then you place the cheese on the mustard layer and then simply wrap the ham over the cheese and bon apetite! 7) Did i mention how shockingly rubbish my memory has gotten?...
