I'm not talking about the obvious: the fact that at the end we get to meet our sweet babies! What's your favorite little thing that you're enjoying right now?
I'm torn between two. I love that my hair is super full and thick, it has lots of volume without me needing to do anything other than blow-dry it. I also love that DH is on litter box duty!
Re: What's your favorite thing about being pregnant?
Besides the obvious of feeling her move around
Not getting my period
Goodbye little angel(7/22/2011)....see you in heaven
Goodbye my second angel (9/18/2011)
Feeling movement for sure, but if I had to choose something not baby realated I'd have to agree with the hair. Oh, and that I don't feel guilty crashing on the couch for 1/2 hour when I get home from work because I am so exhausted.
Fun question!
DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.
Even though I'm a very independent person, and still like to do a lot of things for myself (at least for as long as I know I reasonably can), I've actually been enjoying how some people have been tripping all over themselves to try to help me out, or lift certain burdens from me. Plus, I love how I can be kind of "lazy" on certain things and nobody questions it (e.g. getting take out instead of making dinner, or having someone else carry bags/packages for me).
I also really love feeling the baby move around. It's such a strange sensation, but it makes me feel so connected to her.

OH...This too! I saw some tampons in my bathroom cabinet over the weekend and thought to myself how it was so nice that I won't have my period ALL summer!!
This
All the clothes have a streachy waist- super comfy. No litter box cleaning!
Boobs, no period, & not feeling guilty about being lazy from time to time. Also, I have to admit I love the attention from my husband.
Yes! I was just telling this to DH over the weekend.
Oddly enough, despite my ever-expanding waistline and increasing weight, pregnancy has made me feel a lot less "fat". I actually really like my pregnant body, and I feel pretty good about it. It helps that DH seems to really like it too (and is constantly telling me how "beautiful" and "sexy" I am).

Wearing pants with a stretchy waist band.
Not having a period.
Having an excuse to get take out in the middle of the week.
I wish I could say no period, but any sign of pressure in that region of my body has me bleeding (no worries, I've been cleared by the obgyn - they don't know why this is happening but apparently all is well.)
I'm for sure less conscious about my weight!
Honestly... this is my 2nd pregnacy and I had a wonderful (ie- easy) 1st and this one, while I have had a little more symptoms, still has been fine, but I still can't really find anything that I like about being pregnant that does not have to do with getting to have a baby at the end:)
That is the reason I like being pregnant-- that I get a baby at the end:)
I will second (third, fourth...?) not having a period, not having to worry about how belly looks and feeling the baby move.
I love feeling like I've joined some secret club. The stories people share with me about being a mom and their experiences with pregnancy as well is nice and makes it fun to connect with others.
Also the obvious ones: not having a period and OMG maternity clothes. I don't know why I waited so long! Just got my first set this weekend and when I was trying everything on at the store I almost didn't want to take anything off! Never thought I could find clothes that would rival my PJ's in comfort and be socially acceptable!
Not having a period is my number one and it's making my endometriosis way better. Also, I love the hormones. I feel so even tempered all the time.
What I love the most so far is the excuse to take naps or sleep in really late. Love that!
