- I sanitize everything! I recently purchased a 6 pack of purell antibacterial hand sanitizer and I bring at least one with me everywhere I go. I have to wipe down my computer with those disinfectant wipes or I can’t touch the keyboard. Today when I washed my towels and kitchen rags, I even used the sanitize feature with the brand new washing machines we got. Oh and did I mention I can no longer shake hands with people I don’t know. Thank god most of the interviews I conduct are via phone or I’d be in big trouble!
- I have to take a shower every night before I can go to bed. It does not matter if I took a shower that morning or afternoon. I can’t sleep if I don’t have a night shower. This is just so weird for me b/c usually I’m good with just taking one in the morning when I wake up unless I went to the gym.
- Every chance I get to nap I take it. I just can’t seem to get enough sleep.
- I drink juice. Yes I actually feel the need for juice and really I’ve always hated drinking juice. In the past I’ve always just preferred eating the real thing.
- Bacon is my friend and seriously it use to be my worst enemy.
- I cry during movies, cry at commercials, cry at the news, cry at Tully’s when they forgot to put the lid all the way on my smoothie causing me to spill it everywhere. This new crying thing also includes random fits of anger and the lack of restrain to show it.
- Staying home on a Saturday night; I just can’t believe how much of a homebody I’m becoming.
- Gagging. Lately everything seems to make me gag. If I hear something gross or someone tells me about something nasty I start gagging. I can’t even read something that is described in a blog if it makes me visualize something yucky!
- Did I mention washing my hands after everything I do??
That is just a few of my latest quirks. Yeah so far this is really so much fun. I’d like to hear from those woman who say they enjoy all of this?? Seriously these changes to my body are actually quite odd. I’m still obviously having a hard time getting use to all this so for now, I’ll just share it all with you. I thought you might like a glimpse into my world!

Hang in there! Just think of all the cute maternity clothes you will buy when you start to show!
lol, that's true:)
Talk about missing the boat I wasn't getting your blog on my RSS feed but it is working now...looks like i have a lot of catching up to do....
Hope you are doing ok
Thanks Bri. I'm good although I feel a strange calm and I'm guessing it's before the storm.
Yeah, during my pregnancy I would walk up to the gas station to buy pork rinds and pickled sausages.
Ice cream? No.
Chocolate cake? No.
Beef jerky? Yes.
Hot sauce? Yes.
Go figure, my son is 7 years old now and loves spicy foods. The child puts hot sauce on everything, he'll be sure to have a stomach ulcer by age 11.
After I had my child, I began getting a little weird about germs and cleaning more than usual.
(I'm sure it's normal.)
I have a book that you'd probably enjoy reading (or at least, referring to). It's called, "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and it's a good pregnancy resource.
I have two copies so, if you'd like - I could send one to you.
P.S.:
They 'do' make some super-cute maternity clothes these days. :)
