All the little things you don't know about. Like the face that I can't breathe every morning because my sinuses are so messed up? Or that exhaustion is worst at the very beginning and not at the end? And how your body will just swell up like a Cabbage Patch doll and you can do nothing about it?

Nothing else really jumps out at me as being a surprise -- but it does really feel like a long 9 months! How does that Duggar mom do it?
