Metamucil

So, I believe that all of my blog readers know by now that I'm pregnant. I've told most people at this point except work, cause I just haven't felt like it yet. So, if I have any co-workers are reading my blog, I guess you get the inside scoop.

Anyway, I thought my newish with-child status deserved some blog entries. So far I haven't read any serious books on pregnancy - I'm just reading "Exploiting My Baby, Cause It's Exploiting Me," so naturally when my doctor asked me yesterday if I'd started reading any books, I told her "No." Anyway, I just got another as a gift on "A Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" (thanks Sally!), which also looks like a cynical pregnancy book, and so I've decided that since these cynical books are such a hit, but all kind of get at the same things, I would start writing my blog on my hilarious pregger-related stories. Don't worry, I won't get all TMI with ya'll. No dilation reports here my friends!

So, my first unique, or what I think is unique, pregnancy story is that when I was first pregnant, the first thing I purchased in acknowledgement of my new state was a big canister of Metamucil. I had never had Metamucil before so I went home that evening and thought it would be nice to have it with hot water and treat it like a cup of tea. Now I don't know if this was a freak event or just what Metamucil does in hot water, but it turned into clumps of soft sponginess instead of dissolving into the water. And, not having had it before, I assumed that this was part of Metamucil so I made myself drink the whole thing - it was super gross - drinking orange globs floating in my water. You can imagine my dismay the next day when I tried again with cold water and everything dissolved and wasn't quite as horrible.

Anyway, that's my first story that I haven't seen in any funny pregnancy books so far, probably cause everyone knows you're supposed to mix Metamucil with cold water. At any rate, there you go. I'll be back with more later
