I found your blog by...Julie, you don't know me. I found your blog by way of SOAM. I have to tell you, this post made me laugh so hard I was really in tears. I wonder if anyone told you about the "Girlfriend's guide to pregnancy" - if you haven't read it, go get it & read it. Pregnancy is a magical, wonderful, miraculous time. Ahem, it is also filled with many moments from the dark side ;) <br />(I personally love the spontaneous flatulence, which by your story, you've experienced)<br />If you don't mind, I'm going to add your blog to my reading list. You are so colorful in your writings - quite the muse! <br />Enjoy your weekend - and know that ALL pregnant women are absolutely gorgeous!Michaelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138418911641307056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976912921717018951.post-53337526702712296352009-05-11T07:10:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:10:00.000-07:00Hey Julie, just wanted to let you know about my bl...Hey Julie, just wanted to let you know about my blog. martyandrachel.blogspot.com.

The bodily noises, the crying the anger, I mean come on, only when you are pregnant can you get away with yelling and screaming and acting like a baby. I cant tell you how many times I told Dan I was divorcing him, and he took it all in stride even the toots, cause it doesn't last forever and then you have all these great stories to laugh at later on down the line. As for the weight gain, dont worry about it, being under weight is something to cry about when prego and just a little secret, dont know if anyone told you...nursing makes you drop serious weight. I lost alomost 5o lbs in 3 1/2 weeks. So really, just enjoy it and I am dont want it to sound like I am down playing what you said, but really in a blink of an eye Olivia will be spinning on hur tummy trying to crawl and you and Bubbs will be laughing about a little toot that escaped Olivias lil bottom and recalling your musical outing in WY. If you want an ugly side of it all...having the doc break your water and telling you what to expect....I still tell my doc Im mad at her for that :-)~Melissa~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05157540486442928735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976912921717018951.post-52389639883790423012009-05-07T21:38:00.000-07:002009-05-07T21:38:00.000-07:00Oh my goodness Julie!!! You make me laugh. Very ...Oh my goodness Julie!!! You make me laugh. Very few things make me laugh out loud, your writing does. .........and I laugh, because I, more than anyone know the girly girl that you are, that sweet little "Shera, Princess of Power". You will forever be the sweet little girl in skirts and black patent leather shoes and a bow in your precious girls. Smiling, twirling and just being sweet. You made me smile then, you make me laugh now. Loved you then, love you even more now. I am proud of you. In no time at all, Olivia will be in our arms, she will have us all wrapped around her finger and we will wonder how we truely ever LIVED without her.M.

I swear my husband had never heard me fart before I was pregnant and then all of the sudden it was ALWAYS there!! I can't tell you it will go away and I can tell you you will lose control of not only that but in months to come your farts will turn into wet pants!! (yes this happened to me, and I had to walk through my husbands whole rubgy team to change my clothes!!) you will feel bad about yourself and look at those girls with the nice bodies and think "I wish that was me" (trust me, I'm about as far a long as you are) and I know you've heard this over and over again, but it will get better!! you will have your baby and it will be really hard but then you'll get past that, you'll start nursing and the weight will magically melt off and a few months later you won't beable to remember what your life was like before you had your little one. You won't remember the pain of pregnancy or childbirth, and you'll have to look back in your journal (or blog) and laugh because then you'll really remember those crazy times!! Sorry this is so long, but, hang in there it will get better and then after a year or two you'll be itching to do it all over agian!!The Vakautakakala'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106709982454607926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976912921717018951.post-15375068260328194162009-05-07T20:19:00.000-07:002009-05-07T20:19:00.000-07:00I'd like to leave an uplifting comment, saying it ...I'd like to leave an uplifting comment, saying it will all be worth it. But I'm right there with ya today sister! And honestly, there's an ugly side of motherhood too... but also the beautiful, just like all of this I guess. I guess it really depends what we decide to focus on. But sometimes I think it's okay to wallow in the ugly and cry... as long as we come back to the beautiful. Babbling now, sorr. :)LaurenOpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152040826441673355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976912921717018951.post-58900128387251965332009-05-07T18:32:00.000-07:002009-05-07T18:32:00.000-07:00Oh just think of the reward you get in the end.

But I also think being able to have a baby is so magical and such a blessing. It will be worth it, in time.
