the pregnancy = car wash analysis

Sometimes I liken the whole pregnancy process as like going through a car wash. At different times, as you move forward, different solutions are turned on, others off and each solution is responsible for something different. I picture little nozzle heads in my brain or in my uterus turning on and off, moving through their programmed cycles. I'm not sure what phase/cycle I'm in now, but I'm hoping its the final rinse. :) This phase is characterized by release of hormones that make me crave blue PowerAde, vanilla wafers and marshmallow creme. There also was a grapefruit phase earlier. Just something to ponder on this Christmas Eve.
