ahh the joys of being pregnant

One of the biggest thing that surprised me about being pregnant was the bloody boogers. I was expecting the morning sickness, the uncomfortableness, swollen ankles, etc., but that was completely out of the blue. fortunately, my handy dandy pregnancy book told me all about it or else i bet i would have thought that i had leukemia or something. (a little sidenote: 10 pts to you if you know where "handy dandy" comes from. when i used to work in the lab, i used to say, "I need to get my handy dandy notebook, or i need to write this down in my handy dandy notebook" and my coworkers/lab partners would look at me in confusion)
