The quirks of this pregnancy

In honor of what is hopefully our last week of this current living arrangement, I have decided to list the quirks of this pregnancy before I forget them. Happy starting of our 40th week Baby!

1. Found out I was pregnant on July 9, 2009. Had family visiting on the 10th. I was completely freaked out, Jon held it together and was genuinely excited after the shock wore off.
2. Had total loss of appetite as of July 10th, but blamed it more on the summer heat than the pregnancy.
3. Started to feel nauseous around July 14th, and was sick (vomitting at LEAST once a day, usually more) until mid-October when I received anti-nausea meds that are usually prescribed to cancer patients.
4. Lost 27 pounds before I was prescribed the meds.
5. Mostly ate cereal (Capt'n Crunch Berries, Apple Jacks, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch) through the first four months, and then the cereal became my afternoon snack. Watermelon also helped in the early months. Nothing else would really stay in me.
6. At our last appointment I had just reached my starting weight. So this pregnancy, I technically gained no weight. I lost so much and gained that same amount back. I will come out of this pregnancy weighing LESS than when I started!
7. I haven't experienced pregnancy cravings. Everyone asks me, but I am just trying to eat healthy (minus the sugar bomb cereals).
8. The doctor never seemed settled on a due date. She has kept it at March 16th and as time has progressed she has felt better about it. I suppose it is a big guessing game anyways.
9. You have racked up close to 4,000 frequent flier miles, and over 9,000 road miles while hanging out in me.
10. I have convinced myself that I am feeding you too good and you are too comfortable to come out to the real world. If I had room service the way you do, I would probably put up a fight and not want to leave either.
