Often times we focus on the awful things about pregnancy (and clearly there are some), but let's post the best things, even if they're small and silly.
Mine: Certain food tastes so much better than it used to. Sometimes I can't believe how good something can taste.
Re: Best things about pregnancy??
BFP #1: 6.26.12 EDD: 2.11.13 missed m/c: 7.31.12 @ 12 weeks
BFP #2: 10.1.12 EDD: 6.11.13 Born 6.13.13
I allow myself to eat a few treats here and there that I would never let myself when I'm not pregnant, such as an A&W Freeze dessert. I don't go crazy, but for me, it's a little extra bonus for putting up with being exhausted, a little sick, and for my body changing. When I want fro yo for lunch, I have fro yo for lunch!
BFP #1 EDD 08/07/11 DS born 07/27/11 Welcome Mr. Smiley!
BFP #2 05/28/12 EDD 02/03/13 Natural M/C 07/14/12 10w6d
BFP #3 10/02/12 EDD 06/11/13 Please stick baby! Stick!
Lol before dh went back to work he was asking what point in pregnancy was I "in the mood" more often. I told it was second tri, he then started telling me daily how much longer it was until second tri.
One of the best part of pregnancy for me is how thick and shiny my hair gets.
I hear ya! Although I could only wish to be able to nap every day! My 4 year old won't let it happen! I usually work 5am-1pm at a pretty fast paced job. When I get home I still have a little adrenaline rush going but by dinner time, I'm spent. But for the first time today, someone told me to "take it easy" when I was putting some kinda heavy boxes on an awkward shelf. I have NEVER heard that phrase before and it's kind of refreshing to know a somewhat stranger cares about your well-being! All time favorite part of pregnancy though has to be feeling baby move. I can't wait for that feeling again!
THIS!!!!!
And I hate coffee and junk food right now. I am eating so much healthier due to my cravings and aversions!
ETA: Okay, someone else just reminded me that it's pretty cool to have bigger knockers for about two years while I'm pregnant/BFing. As a lifelong member of the itty bitty titty committee, it's a perk. lol.
Having an amazing 1st tri screening today and seeing my 2 little babies wiggling around in there! So happy!
Oh and the fact that I hired a cleaning lady is great too!
Oh now I want fro yo!
Same here for both!! I have two cats lol. And I'm craving fruits and veggies and salads and feel like I cant get enough water sometimes.
Maybe there's a correlation between having cats and healthy food cravings during pregnancy (unlikely...but still lol.)
I have a sneaking suspicion I might give in to my addiction after I give birth and am done breastfeeding, though. I kind of hope it doesn't taste good anymore.

This!
Lol I'm dying!! I'm a member of that club too so bring on the pregnant bewbies!
But if I had to think about it I'd say. Better sex, excuse to lay around lol...feeling baby move. And no freakin period!!!
Oh... And the fact that I ate half a package of cookies at work today!
This! My DH is always pretty sweet but he has been extra sweet and understanding. He encourages me to eat and sleep as much as I need. He encourages me to do as little as possible. I love it!
Yes! Though I blame BFing for my issues. Pregnancy has countered that and sex has finally gotten good again.
This! I haven't had a period since Feb 2011 [pregnant with DS in March 2011 breastfed up until this BFP].
I don't enjoy much of anything so far but second trimester was great with DS! I loved feeling him move and actually looking pregnant and getting congrats from strangers.

No period, baby bump and movement. I love being pregnant though. Even with the all day nausea.
FTMs enjoy the extra sleep, you won't have time to take naps next time!
1) Being waited on by DH who is sooo caring right now its crazy, but I won't complain
2) Eating whatever I want
3) Looking fat and not caring
4) Seeing babies wiggle inside of me is pretty amazing!
The best thing so far has been my parents reaction to becoming grandparents. They are both very unhealthy and I think this has given them a little extra to live for... Last time I got to visit my mom (she lives in a nursing home), first thing she said to me, "How's the baby?" with a huge smile on her face. Just about brought tears to my eyes.
