Um...not so great?! Ok so let me give you guys the low-down on being pregnant. It ain't pretty. It is exciting though but it's not this beautiful hooha everyone makes it out to be.
Ta Ta's: First thing that hits you: Your boobs. I thought I was getting my period and that's why my boobettes were hurting. And I thought, "Oh well, we failed again." NOT SO. They hurt. A lot. I'm sure it's different for everyone. There have already been a few incidents where I would wake up yelling in pain because C would graze them with his arm or just elbow it by accident. I'm just thinkin "OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And then you also think "YES!! My little clementine's are bigger!! Woohoo!!! Grapefruits here we come!"
Nausea / Taste Change: I have actually had it pretty easy. Hardly any nausea at all. I don't like the smell of kimbap and I don't really like to eat or look at meats. Chicken, Beef, Pork... My sister-in-law made me samgehtang in the beginning of my pregnancy (I love her samgehtang btw) and I could only eat the broth with rice. I ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS get yookgehjang when we eat out at Korean restaurants. I mean I always look through the menu first just out of routine but as soon as the waiter comes around and asks me what I want and I say "Yookgehjang" my in-laws all start to chuckle. They always get kalbi. This one time I ordered yoogehjang and my brother-in-law yelled out in a matter-of-fact way "I TOLD YOU!" to the rest of the table. Hello was the family making bets on what I was going to order? Well I ordered it a few weeks ago and I could only eat the broth and soup. Everything else tasted like cardboard to me. Last friday we went over to Jin and Angie's and she made samgyupsal and Jin made a bowl of sapporo ichiban "just in case". I took one bite of the samgyupsal and just housed the noodles. That was the best saporro ichiban I've ever had. Dude I love it. I don't know why. C says it's the ghettoist of all the instant noodles. 
Indigestion / Constipation / Heartburn: Ok i've had one indigestion incident. It hurt. I wasn't even done dinner when it kicked in. I won't even say it hurt like hell. I've had one idigestion incident where it hurt like hell and that was while we were eating at Pho 32. My indigestion was so bad I couldn't even walk home from there. And it's so close too. We had to call my sister-in-law to come and pick us up. When we got home she did her blood circulting-finger string tying-pin pricking magic. I had my doubts too people but it works. I was amazed like she was some sort of witch doctor. I don't think I've had heartburn. I don't even know what that feels like but I can say that I was constipated twice. OH MY GOD. I was just praying to the poop gods to help me poop! Not a good feeling.
Gas: I just blame this one on the baby.
Peeing In the Middle of the Night: I now sometimes wake up just to pee twice
Fatigue: It's like 10pm and the hubs goes "Why don't you go to the bedroom and lie down and watch some tv?" Because i'm not tired. "Yeah you are." No I'm not. I'm not even a little bit! I then go into the bedroom, change into my jammies, lie down, watch 2 minutes of whatever is on before it goes into commerical, once the commerical starts...I'm knocked the eff OUT. I also find myself getting tired mid afternoon.
Weight Gain: After I found out that I was pregnant I tried to eat 3 squared meals per day. Before that it was 2: breakfast and lunch. Now I can't be selfish and I have to think of the baby's health first. Plus since it's eating all my nurients (selfish pg) I feel this need to eat more even though I'm taking prenatal vitamins. Before I used to think "Food is sooo overated!" Now it's like...borderline ridiculous.
Last tuesday C and I played hookie and we went to this noodle house that we used to always go to. So on Friday we were taking the bus home and I was really quiet on the bus and he was playing his psp and he goes "Why you so quiet? Whatcha thinkin about?"
me: You really wanna know?
C: Yeah what?
me: You know how we went to the noodle house on tuesday and I got the flat rice noodle instead of my usual egg noodle?
C: Yeah?
me: Well I was thinking I should have gotten the egg noodles.
C: HAhAHAHA Oh my God that was 3 days ago.
me: Yeah so?
C: That's what you were thinking about this whole time?
me: No....Today I got a small clam chowder soup for lunch.
C: haha ok?
me: It was really good and I was thinkin, I should have gotten the large.
C: What a fat pig!
me: Yeah so? I'm also thinking about tomorrow when I go to lunch with Hans. We're gonna go to Olive Garden and I can't wait to eat their all you can eat soup and salad!
C: hahahahahah oh. my. god.
Yesterday I made my mom's mac and cheese recipe. My husband came home and brought 2 containers of jook (Korean rice porridge) I packed some mac and cheese to take to lunch today. After I ate I sent the hubs an email.
me: Man! I should have packed more mac and cheese. I can't wait to go home and eat that and jook! Woohoo!
C: Is that all you think about? kekekekkeke - It's good. keep on eating. If you want me to raise your allowance cause of food let me know.
