the realities of pregnancy.

Seeing all the memes on Facebook, despite how annoying some of them were, inspired this blog post.  Before becoming pregnant, I had an unrealistic idea in my head about what it was going to be like.  Though I feel that I was appropriately prepared for some of the aspects of pregnancy, other things caught me completely off guard and all reason and logic went out the window.  So I comically share with you my discoveries of the realities of pregnancy.  I hope you enjoy...
