The joys of pregnancy

The pros & cons of pregnancy:
+ Clear skin. My skin has not been this healthy, rosy & clear in ages.
+ Not having to suck in one's gut.
+ Food. Getting to eat food, lots of it, & not feel guilty. Unless it's a third serving of
cheesecake, then you get a few stares.
+ Getting others to lift things for you. It's fun.
+ Auntie Flo holding off her visit for 9 whole months. woot.
+ Feeling your baby kick & move inside you. If that's not a pro, I don't know what is.

- Not being able to get a decent night's sleep.
- Peeing. All the time peeing. & if the baby kicks my bladder one more time...
- Waddling. I think I waddled before, but look out Daffy, I'm gaining on you.
- Barely being able to get out of a sitting position unassisted.
- My guts residing right under my boobs. Surely not an attractive sight.
- Did I mention the bladder kicking?!

Weird things about pregnancy:


001. New & darker freckles. I feel like people might now question if my husband
& I are related.
002. Patches of darker skin in certain areas of my body. Just...odd.
003. Eating a meal & feeling like it's just sitting there, in my chest, with nowhere
to go.
004. Not being able to see my feet without bending forward.
005. The amazing, yet absolutely strange, sight of your baby moving around in
your belly. Am I part of some secret science experiment?

All in all, I've had it pretty easy [knock on wood]...no morning sickness, not a single complication, baby has treated me really well & will get lots of hugs, kisses & milk as a reward when they finally arrive :)
