It's my birthday and I have found out that I am Superman!
I am so sensitive to stuff that a normal dose of pain meds actually works now!
I will make another 50% more blood over the next few months!
My skin will shed faster and thus be even more awesome looking!
My hair will not fall out and get fuller and softer!
The rest is kind of sucky, so I'm not going to mention it.

Pickles!
It begins. I am craving salty stuff like crazy. I ate pickles. I want more. For my birthday give me pickles. Ooooh, also tomatoes, mozzarella, and balsamic vinegar! Yummy. And pretzels.
There are a few things that I have learned lately. Mostly, that when you are first pregnant your immune system goes down the crapper and you WILL catch every little cold bug out there. That being said, I now have a cold. I called the doctor's office and was told that basically I can take any Tylenol product out there for any random aches and pains. Being as how there is a massive Tylenol recall going on, good luck on finding any.
I am also having a wonderful time switching between being pass-out exhausted and wired. Two nights ago I got about 4 hours of sleep. I woke up, finished my book, took David to work (the Audi is in the shop), cleaned the house, did a bunch of laundry, hung out with Hayley, then made dinner. After, we went out with Hayley and Alli for St. Patrick's Day and stayed out until 1:00 am. Today, after 9 hours of sleep, and with almost nothing to do I am barely able to move. Seriously, typing is getting tiresome.

The Morning Breath Theory of Urpiness.
David has a theory. I shall call it The Morning Breath Theory of Urpiness. Basically, he's positing that everyone's breath is always about half a leaf of spinach away from being gross. With as many mints and gum packs sold, it is a pretty good theory. He further posits that because a Preggers' senses are so sensitive, the normal background breath breaches into the gross category all the time causing the icky nauseous feelings so many women go though.
This makes perfect sense to me. If candles and other scents can make us so sick, why not nasty morning breath and the taste that goes with it? This also explains why mints, ginger, lemon, and all those "clean" tastes and smells make it all better. I've been chomping extra-strength mints and brushing my teeth often and the nausea is almost completely gone! Now my mom said she had very little morning sickness, but she also has good dental hygiene and a strong stomach to begin with.
Hope this helps!

Rawr!
So my best friend, Hayley, said I should start a preggers blog. Apparently she thinks it will be interesting and amusing.
I had my first doctor's appointment on Friday. It is still too early to see any tiny shrimp in my uterus, but a test confirmed that I do, in fact, harbor at least one shrimp. Mom says twins run in our family, so there is a chance of multiple shrimp, or shrimpies.
The exam was really stressful and made so much worse by the total bladder gun-shyness. Despite my assurance that I peed on plenty of sticks, they still insisted I pee on theirs. I drank lots of water and had the ultrasound, at which point the nurse informs me that my bladder is quite full...
No one told me that they could see that. I did not say they could look at my pee. It was a bit unnerving. I don't typically share my pee with others.
So after all the pee, I got blood work done, some vitamins, and ate lunch. It's Lent, but I totally get some dispensation because of the fetus. However awesome that is, I'm totally craving fish anyway, so God, once again, shows his sense of humor.
I have determined that I will be a Rage Preggers instead of a Weepy Preggers as much as I can help it. I have spent my entire life coming up with ways to hilariously yell at people, so why stop now. I was out with Hayley and vaguely pukey, had to pee, hungry, and getting a headache. This viscous nasal drip of a driver was going 15 miles UNDER the speed limit and hanging out with his armpit-cheese buddy in the car next to him, ALSO going 15 under. I informed them that their breath smelled like testicles, and finally got around them and had the not-driving behind toe jam sandwiches that I so desired. Hayley laughed and suggested that I start a blog.
