Things I've Learned

Here's just a random list of things I've learned over the past 9 months.

I've learned that:

-Yogurt is the only thing that doesn't hurt coming back up when I vomit
-Eating a hot dog at any time of the day (even 10am) brings NASTY heartburn when I lie down at night
-My husband is truly a gift from God and extremely patient with me (even when getting out of bed at 3 am to rub my back and hold back my hair when I am barfing in the bathroom-yes he did that every single time)
-I can actually be quite organized (and I like it!) when it comes to baby clothes, baby things, and especially cloth diapers
-Every pregnancy is different and how each person deals with pregnancy is different
-I will NEVER take for granted sleeping on my stomach, rolling over in bed without groaning, and not having to get up to pee every two hrs through the night
-Conception, pregnancy, and child birth are incredible and perfectly orchestrated by God-It really amazes me that women can get pregnant at all let alone how our bodies know exactly what is needed and how to push these little humans out. Really, think about it...God knew what He was doing by designing us the way He did.
-Even though I'm pregnant, I am still very sensitive to those who are struggling with infertility and who have gone through miscarriages. I will never forget this journey.

I'm sure there are more things that I've learned but that's my list for now.
