Pregnancy Sucks

Have any of you seen the movie "What to Expect When You're Expecting"? (Spoiler! Don't read further if you plan on seeing it.) At one point of the movie, Wendy (played by Elizabeth Banks) who owns a baby everything store, is asked to give a seminar at a baby convention. She starts off sugar coating pregnancy. Soon, she breaks down and says something along the lines of, "I'm calling it. Bullsh**." She goes on to say that there is no "glow" when you're pregnant. And now, being 17 weeks pregnant, I have to agree.

I always thought that pregnancy would be fantastic for me. I thought I'd be one of the random women that don't get any symptoms. I'm not. It was rather naive thinking honestly. It probably started before I got sick, but knew that I was pregnant. 

I have gotten pretty much all of them... nausea, crazy hormones, food aversions, and most of the rather unpleasant ones that I won't mention. Pregnancy sucks. That's all I have come up with. 

Hopefully I'll find my "glow" like Wendy did in the movie when I hold this baby for the first time. 

Until then, all I have to say is...this baby better be really freakin' cute.
