sometimes too much research is not a great thing..

i went to the dentist today and got a cleaning.. here's a little secret about me.. i hate flossing.. i do it because i have to.. and in reality.. i don't do it half as much as i should.. and obviously.. you can't lie about that.. so i got called out on it.. and i know she's right.. so mark my words.. i will do a better job starting today.. it seems that there's a thing called "pregnancy gingivitis" and there's no way in hell that i want to get that.. imagine that on top of everything else??

speaking of everything else.. i know you don't know me very well.. at least most of you don't.. so here's something that is important information.. i'm a research freak.. i like to know as much as possible about anything that i might be experiencing.. in this case.. childbirth.. since i have NO clue what will really be going down.. i've been doing my research.. and honestly, there is such a thing as knowing a little too much.. feel free to stop reading at this point because i'm about to tell you something that most people had NO idea about.. ok.. if you're still reading, it's at your own peril.. so here we go.. did you know that after you've been pushing for hours.. and finally see that teeny tiny baby.. your work is not done.. that's where all the movies end.. that's what most of your friends have probably told you.. but guess what.. you're not done because you still need to push out the placenta!!!!! have you heard of such a thing????? yeah.. me either.. so you get the cute baby and then you push for another 15 minutes or so.. and get this placenta out.. i'm told it kind of looks like a deflated water balloon.. how sexy is that?? barf barf barf.

i wanted to share this information with you because as i said in the beginning.. this blog will be unfiltered.. i'm not here to sugarcoat pregnancy.. we've all heard all the wonderful parts time and time again.. i'm just here to spread information.. as i find it out.. i'm sure that there is just so much that i have yet to discover.. but readers.. believe me when i tell you that i will share that information with you.. that's a promise.. i will warn you ahead of time though.. i'm not here to shock you or to make you throw up your lunch :)
