I have totally forgotten so many things that happened when I was pregnant…with Cash and Quinn! How is it possible? The hormones and the sleep deprivation! So here’s a list of some of the weird and not so weird things:
1. Not being able to open my fingers int he morning during the last weeks of being pregnant with Cash. I couldn’t even pick up a pillow or pull up the sheets!
2. The heart burn. Oh god the heart burn with both babies!
3. I couldn’t step sideways when I was first pregnant with Quinn
4. Not puking, but gagging. Ugh, the gagging during the first trimester.
5. With Cash, I was exhausted during the first trimester. I couldn’t even manage to go to the grocery store by myself. If I did go, usually with Colin, it was the main event of the day and then I needed a nap.
6. Skin tags. I’ll leave that alone. They only happened with Cash.
7. Neither of my babies was positioned “correctly”. Cash was posterior. Quinn was breech.
8. I had a hard time with my vision in the first trimester both times.
9. Dehydration. So thirsty… all the time.
10. With Quinn, I got weird freckles under my eyes that still haven’t completely gone away
11. Cash was always on my right hip, like in my pocket in the beginning. Quinn was stretched straight out with his head on the right and his feet on the left in a horizontal line.
12. With Cash, my fingers swelled up sooo big. I had to go buy a new wedding ring in a size 9!
13. My superpower smelling abilities
14. After Cash was born, I cried a lot. I cried watching movies. I cried over a story about a little boy going to kindergarten and missing his mom. I cried because I didn’t want to “share him with the world”
15. After Cash, I had no temperature regulation whatsoever. We would get back from a walk and it took me hours to cool off
