Not really a beer belly

Although it really looked like one at the earlier stages.
This time, as with my older two kids, I was surprised. NOT REALLY SURPRISED, after all it was me who started taking the prenatal vitamins before hand, who discarded the old packs of pregnancy pills and made plans with hubby. I actually thought that after doing it twice it should be pretty difficult to catch me by surprise, especially after I have dealt and familiarized myself with all those signs and symptoms. Women just know (?) when they are pregnant, even before they quietly step into the drugstore and choose between a digital (quite confusing I must add) or old fashioned blue or pink stripped stick to confirm their suspicion. So I had all the symptoms for several months, probably a strange side effect of getting off the pill because they all disappeared once a month, every month. So intuition can sometimes mix up with positive thinking and that could be confusing.The first month I knew for sure that I wasn't pregnant was the first month I finally got rid of all these symptoms. But I guess that every time is different or maybe my memory is just not as good as it used to be (for sure, plus pregnancy is thought to play a role in that too) or a combination of both (probably) and some other factors, but I am happy to say that it is still possible to surprise me, especially when it comes to good things!
