The value of friends

The value of friends is immeasurable, and that goes double for friends who have already gone through something that you're now going through. Without this incredible boon, I would have no choice but to assume that I'm insane, and there is something very very odd about my pregnancy. Fortunately, from talking to my friends I have found out that, well, yes I may be insane and have an odd odd pregnancy, but that's exactly what happens during all pregnancies. Feeling anxious for no reason? Two weeks of food binge and then all food is disgusting? Things smell strange? Back hurts? Just ate an entire flat of pears by yourself? Sleeping more during the day than Dracula? No problem! Apparently that's just called being pregnant. So, a big thanks to Coco and Angie for forging through those confusing experiences ahead of me and giving me the reassurance that only someone saying, "Oh yea, it was orange pop and cheetoes for me." can bring.
