Let's Just Face it People!

EVERYONE has gas! (except my mom)...

Interesting Fact: The average person produces between 1 and 3 pints of gas each day and passes gas about 14 times a day.

That said, you may experience even more gas than usual during pregnancy. So recently i have found myself belching like a coke drinker and have had to extend my skirt waistline to allow my tummy to relieve bloating..Why does this happen? Apparently it has something to do with hormone levels. some hormone relaxes your muscle tissue in your body include the gastro tract. This relaxation slows down my digestive processes, which can lead to gas, bloating, burping, and flatulence and generally create miserable sensations in my gut, especially after a big meal.

i have no idea why i shared that with you all. I just have had it rough lately.

Pregnancy hormones have also been out of control. I was telling Sis. McElhaney last night that the littlest things just make me sob. Because i was in the ER all Sunday morning with contractions (don't wory i'm fine) , Sis. McElhaney told me that she would sing for me on Sunday night. Tears just flowed like a river. For some odd reason that was the most precious thing that had ever happended in my life. She probably doesnt know this, but Alicia also brought me to tears last night. She called my cell because they changed the restaurant we were meeting at from Outback to Islands.. again.. tears like a river- it just touched my heart so much that someone would take time out of their busy schedule just to tell me that we were eating somewhere else. (sniff)

I'm going to mention 2 wonderful friends in this blog who have truly blessed me in the last couple of days- so all you other friends out there... don't get jealous!

Adrianne... your support through this pregnancy has been so wonderful. I love it when you boss me around and tell me what to do (like you've been prego before) and i love how you give me big hugs and tell me you care about me and this little one... (oh boy... my eyes are watering i have to stop...)

Nicole... thank you for putting up with my late night phone calls that consist of stupid pregnancy questions. and thank you for yelling at me every time i call. it truly inspires me to be more like you every day. i hope i can be as good of a mom as you have been to your little monsters :) i miss you :(.... ( more tears... sniff)

ok i have to stop people. i have to work now. i hope you all have a wonderful day today. Pray for me that my uterus cooperates and doesnt contract anymore and that my flatulence is kept to a minimal occurence. (did i spell that right)

Thank you :)

(i apologize for any spelling errors. my mom has to read it first- then she will call me and tell me of my embarrassing spelling errurs- thats just the way it works)
