1. The cat keeps pooping in the corner of the bathroom instead of the litter box. It is bad enough when it is in the litter box but without any absorption whatsoever it STINKS. I am super smell sensitive when pregnant, moreso even than usual, and that's just not nice.
2. The kids keep changing clothes just for the heck of it. I am so tired I'm not even keeping up with NORMAL amounts of laundry, much less that generated by 3 girls changing clothes 4 times a day.
3. It's awful hard to make dinner when you have severe food aversions all over the place.
4. It is SO HARD to get health coverage for the pregnancy. Especially when you didn't have a period and you don't therefore have an easy-to-calculate due date. They REQUIRE a due date to get coverage. If we don't figure something out I'm just gonna have to make up a "last period" date based on how far along I think I am. I don't like having to do stuff like that.
5. I hate that my migraines get worse when I'm pregnant. Isn't it bad enough being pregnant, without adding migraines into the mix? When not pregnant I get maybe 2-4 a year. When pregnant, I get at least 2 a month. Often more. Gah.
6. Women who tell me, "Oh, I've had 3 kids, and I was never sick more than a day with any of them!" Good for you. Go jump in a lake.
7. People who assume I want a boy. (I actually want a girl. Jeff wants a boy. Of course we'll be happy either way.) We were not "trying for that boy." We were trying for a BABY. So shut up. Along the same lines, "So if it's a girl, are you done, or are you going to KEEP trying for a boy?"
8. People who ask if I'm going to have my tubes tied after this. (This hasn't happened yet. Just wait until I get big and have 3 little kids out with me. It will. It happened last time, and that was only my third! I do get a kick out of asking those rude people if they've heard of the Duggars, though... They usually go into shock and I walk away laughing.)
9. People who find out what I have an aversion to, and keep talking about it on purpose. It's really not funny to make me puke. It hurts.
10. People who touch my tummy. If you're not my husband, and you're not my child, please don't.
It's a darned good thing that I get a baby at the end of this. That's what makes it worth it. But in the mean time some things really suck.

#2 drives me crazy even when I'm not pregnant.
#6 - They're lying. What they really mean is that they never threw up. But being constantly nauseated is no picnic either.
#7, 8... Eh. People are odd. Just smile and shake your head to yourself.
#10 - I had a young teenager in McD ask me if she could once. It was really, really weird. Otherwise, I've been lucky.
Congrats on the baby!! Hope you feel better.
