All these pregnancy horror stories reminded me of a conversation I had with DS back when he was about 8 or so. He had asked me some innocent question about pregnancy and I started telling him my stories. He seemed interested so I just kept talking about all places I had thrown up, bursting into tears for no reason, and what it felt like to have your skin pull off your ribs, etc etc. I had gotten carried away and I was definitely whining about it.

Then I realized I was talking to an 8 year old boy and that this might be upsetting. So I asked him, "How does hearing this make you feel?" And he replied, " Just really glad I'm not a girl, Mom."
