You Might Be Pregnant If...

Well here we are, out of the first trimester and nearing the halfway point of pregnancy. So far I've discovered that A) morning sickness is even less pleasant than I imagined and B) growing a person is apparently exhausting. All in all though, I'd have to say that it hasn't been a bad experience so far - just tiring.

In other news, we decided to build our new home rather than buying. Currently we have a lot under contract and are working towards finalizing the house plans. Here's hoping that we can start construction at the end of the month!

And now for our first round of "You Might Be Pregnant If..."

...your tuna salad (with salmon in place of tuna) somehow turns into pickle salad.

I have no explanation for this.

...your ability to unknowingly cheat at card and board games knows no bounds.

...you inadvertently become a gas discount thief - using your parents' grocery store rewards absolutely convinced this earns points towards their gas discount. 
(FYI: It doesn't work this way. Luckily they have a good sense of humor.)

...ketchup inspires a level of rage usually reserved for crimes against humanity.

...you discover that you possess a superpower: The ability to smell bacon. 
Anytime. Anywhere.
(Yes, it's just as disturbing as it sounds.)
