- You can not go more than 10 minutes without peeing. It is terrible. Especially when you lay on your back at night.
- You burp and fart like a man...better than your husband. I went 7 years without ever farting in front of my husband, because I am very ladylike like that! When these babies started forming all bets were off. It's terrible, but oh so necessary..and it is obnoxious as can be...
- A huge one....you can't poop. This is the one I most complain to the doctor about..it sucks.
- Rolling over in bed becomes an Olympic sport. And I have to roll a LOT to try and find a comfy spot, and when you do find a comfy spot, don't worry, it won't last long.
- There is a party in my uterus 24 hours a day. Sometimes the babies forget to invite me or ask first, like at 3 am when they are doing the moon walk or whatever other jig they are doing at that very moment inside of me. (Note: This is the one that I mind the least...its actually amazing)
- Your filters seem to come off and you say whatever, whenever, even if it may not have been the right moment or the right thing to say. Stupid hormones.
- You meet Wanda (vaginal ultrasound) very very often. I thought we had ended our relationship back at the RE's office, but nope, we meet at least every other week for a quickie.
- If you laugh, cough, blow your nose or fart, there is a good chance you may involuntarily let a little tinkle out. Always panty liners are my best friend.
- Your boobs will get huge. If you are like me, beyond huge, to the point where you wonder if there ever was a case where they just never stopped growing. (Note: This is probably the one my husband minds the least).
- If you used to shave every week faithfully, you now are lucky to shave every 3rd week. It is a LOT of work.
- You pick a lot of things up with your toes...because bending doesn't feel great.
- You are hot..especially at night. I turn our heat down to 56, sleep in undies and still kick off some of the blankets.
- You can not remember where you used to put your hands when you sat or stood before being pregnant, because now they always seem to gravitate to your swollen belly!

The things no one tells you about before you get pregnant...my version.
So of course I knew my body would change and stuff would happen when I got pregnant. Did I bargain for all this? No. Some of these may be elevated because I am carrying twins.

- I am a 31 year old married mom to be! It did not come to easy to me, my husband and I struggled with infertility and now we will welcome twin boys into the world in March. I will be a stay at home mom for a while and see where that takes me. I love people, reading blogs, talking, taking pictures, shopping, reading, hugging my dog and loving on my husband.
