Its just hormones

I have decided that it is Aaron's turn to have the next baby.  I really don't see how women willingly want to get pregnant for a second, third, or fourth time.  Maybe I will change my mind after my new little bundle of joy is so great that I am willing to go through this all again, or maybe I will just forget until it is too late and I am pregnant again (I think this is more likely, not that I don't think our baby will be great).    The wealth of baby books telling you what to expect are not helpful at all either.  Every week starts with some list of symptoms I am probably feeling (these have been the same symptoms I have been feeling for the last 3 months).  I don't really need someone to tell me what I am feeling or to suggest new ways I may be feeling bad.  I think that sometimes maybe I don't notice until someone points it out.  Also, I love how everything is because of hormones, can't we come up with a better explanation?  I think maybe they don't really know and so that is what they say... you grew a third eyeball, must be the hormones, your toe fell off, must be the hormones.  My nausea has finally started to subside (thank goodness!) but I still just feel tired and not that great most of the time, I guess it just must be hormones.  I am blaming my general crankiness and recent aversion to household chores (aka laziness) on hormones too.  (Maybe this means I am having a boy and the extra testosterone has lowered my cleanliness standards)
