Reposting of The Joys Of Pregnancy

I have had an extended break from this blog due to an unexpected pregnancy that has made me wonder why Adam couldn’t have been the first to eat from the tree so Men could bear children, or at least it could have been painless for us.

I am now in my sixteenth week and though I can feel the baby move, this is my fourth pregnancy, and the only magic in pregnancy for me now is the enormous amounts of puke that comes out even when I only had three bites of food.

I do love to brag though that I am part of the less than one percent of women who actually lose weight by being pregnant. It isn’t that I don’t eat or anything like that. Its the huge amount of calories I burn while simultaneously puking, holding my one year old’s head out of the way, using the other hand and opposite leg to hold my two older children apart from each other as they try to rip out the other’s eyes, and tell my husband where is the masking tape that he urgently needs at 8 in the morning. Then because I can never hold the one year old’s head out of the way long enough I have to do laps around the house chasing her so I can wash her off and anywhere she has dripped as well. This routine has been known to occur up to four times a day. In fact it works so well I have wondered about making a workout video to sell.

Thankfully this will be our last pregnancy. I am getting sterilized ASAP after this baby is born. I am not sure what procedure I will go through, but since we don’t have insurance I have called a few Vets and found out I can get spayed for $45.
