10 THINGS PREGNANCY TAUGHT ME

1. Crackers and Sprite don't help.

2. This isn't just morning sickness and it's not the worst hangover you ever had. It's MUCH, MUCH worse than that.

3. A constant battle is waged between what you need to do for your unborn child, and what you need to do for your existence.

4. You have never known true anger at your own body until it takes every last ounce of energy you have to lift yourself upto the toilet bowl.

5. It takes at least 5 hours in the hospital to get fully hydrated again after getting sick. On the opposite side, it only takes about 5 minutes to get dehydrated in the first place.

6. You'll learn more about testing your own urine than you ever wanted to know.

7. Sticking yourself with a needle goes from a dreaded event to a relief on the bad days.

8. When you wish you were not pregnant anymore, you don't hate your child. You will end up loving your child more than anything else because you know what it took to get her out.

9. You realize that the role of the father is nonetheless than the mother's. It's not in his hands to carry the baby for you.

10. The misery on the bad days will more than pay off with the final reward of holding your child in your arms.
