something no one told me about pregnancy...your toilet paper consumption will go up massively. i guess i can see why this had not been mentioned to me before. it's certainly not very romantic. i am finding that can be said about most of my pregnancy revelations. to be totally honest, i am beginning to be bored by the whole thing. so, ya, back to the first thing i said--my toilet paper bill has gotten a lot bigger and i feel like i am buying comode papel in military proportions. seriously, i am peeing like every 20 minutes. hey now! that's not sexy or fun! no. it. is. not. every preggo pregger expects her freedom to be a bit pinched with the arrival of a new baby (why does everyone say new baby, are there old babies being born?) but, what i did not expect is for my freedom to be reduced by the increasing need to be tethered to a bathroom. i took my current baby (mika the boxer) to the dog park today and she was having a BIG time! but, we had to cut our adventure short because, yesh, i had to leave to go pee!!!
my pride has finally diminished enough for me to just leave stacks of toilet paper in the bathroom at all times, instead of restocking with one or two rolls occassionally like normal people. a couple of days ago i plopped a pack of 4 rolls on the bathroom counter and thought to myself, 'that oughta last a while.' false. i am deciding right now to just roll with it. uh, pun intended. ha ha! forget corny dad jokes, mom jokes are my new gig.
