I wrote this last year late in Bryan's stay in my tummy, And make sure to read below it because i'm adding on from this pregnancy!!
20 Things I have personally learned while i've been prego.... :)

1. Patience is learned early when they start kicking, then flipping, because you cant stop them!
2. If morning sickness occurs, be seated on toilet because if he's close to the bladder, yeah.... might want a trash can to hold on to while sitting there.
3. Not all boobs get bigger... THANK GOD. i was afraid i was gonna have to special order!!
4. Bigger girls dont really get a belly till 6 months...
5. The one place in walmart you never shopped at before unless it was for a friend is now the one place you run to all the time planning stuff, the baby isle
6. Men are just big kids in the baby isle also.... (honestly, me and my mom were looking at sheets and stuff and i hear noise making, i look behind me and my man was playing with the toys on the bouncer thingys... lol. he's just a big kid!)
7. If your boobs get heavy, your chest AND arm hurts, and its not a heart attack...
8. Crackers are a prego's best friend
9. when you eat at CiCi's about 2-3 times a week, they get to know you pretty well (really, every time i come in they ask me if i've poped that baby out yet! lol)
10. Body shyness is out the door.... i used to be so shy and not want any flaw to show because i was always teased cuz i've always been big. 9 months later, i'm standing in the hospital room with my ass hanging out of the hospital gown talking on the phone, facing away from my mom who had a full view, 2 nurses in the room and one checking my cervix and i'm telling this all to my man who was waiting at home because we knew it was probably false labor anyways. talk about change... lol.
11. Icecream is even better when prego cuz not only is it a reward, but it helps out with the calcium! yay!
12. Being bipolar doesnt help prego mood swings any...
13. not eveyone leaks or crusts from their boobs.... (thanks girls on gather!)
14. 5 mg of Vikoden will make me loopy and pass out...
15. tylenol doesnt work on me at all =/
16. there are more smells out there than you can think of...
17. You seem to talk about babies more than ever
18. no one will shut up about babies, and no matter how tired you get of it, you snap out of it and get pulled in again!
19. Lavender bubble baths are SOOOOOOOOO relaxing
20. People seem to get prego in groups, specially among friends... lol.

Now Bryan is 7 months and i'm 21 weeks (5 months 1 week), and i've leanred some more, lol.
1. Picking another Boy name is alot harder than the first time...
2. Some babies are more active than others, and i thought Bryan was acitve... lol. not as much as this one!!
3. boys can be carried higher than others...
4. Hyperemesis is worse the 2nd pregnancy...
5. Things are alot easier when you know you cant actually have the baby and have to have a planned c-section.
6. Experiance from the first time is a plus, because i can give advice and i'm not in the dark about anything, so not as many rushes to the ER room, lol.
7. Cravings DO change every pregnancy
8. Changing a 7 month old in the crib is SO hard prego, so its the couch that is now changing table, lol.
9. Always ask the doctor about meds and it effecting birth control...
