Pregnancy Symptoms

Alright, I'll admit when I read in the 'bible' of pregnancy books all the different pregnancy 'symptoms' I was skeptical but now they're feeling all to real.  Here is what I've noticed so far.
  1. "Memory loss" - I can't count the number of times (partly because I can't remember each time and thus can't count them) I've been having  a conversation with someone or having private thoughts and I can't think of the most basic word. For example I was trying to remember a word for something that doesn't rotate around but that stays straight and forward all the time and really to this day I can't think of what the word is that I think should be the right word to describe not rotating.
  2. Emotionality - I completely lost it after 2 of my friends who are buys people "turned me down" to go and do something in the same day. I lost it because I didn't have any friends.  Granted this has always been one of my concerns in recent years and one that maybe I'll talk about in a later blog.
  3. Unusual eating habits - This has manifested itself in two different ways.  "Cravings" - I've never had that urge in the middle of the night to have something weird like a PBJ sandwich with pickles on it.  The whole "cravings" thing is more like there are things that sound really good, taste really good, so I eat them frequently.  Examples of this would be my consumption of egg salad sandwiches, just plain egg salad, and Kraft macaroni and cheese (the more orange the better).  
  4. Going to the bathroom - Just simply, I've never been one to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and now I do - hence why I'm up at 4:30 writing a blog and not sleeping which leads me to number 5.
  5. Not sleeping - I haven't not slept like I slept before I was pregnant since I actually got pregnant (not when I found out I was pregnant).  I told my mom I've realized I won't sleep like I use to sleep (in a coma until my alarm went off in the morning) for at least 20 or so years.  I'm hoping after 20 years or so I'll be able to regain my coma sleeping patterns.
