Shopping for cute little baby things. They're all just so little, and cute! (this includes the baby shower (s))

Re: What's your favorite part about being pregnant?

  • I almost chose the eating one... but I definitely love feeling him moving in there and knowing I have him all to myself for at least a little while. :)

  • Tough choice. Movement is my favorite, followed very very closely by not so much the ability to eat whatever I want (trying-ish to eat healthy), but a total lack of concern or care about the size of my belly. Baby hides the flub. ;)

  • Primarily I love feeling the lil'monster get his groove on.  Which seems to be non-stop though I recognize he must sleep sometimes :)  

    Secondarily though, the OCD Designer side of me (read: the largest part of me and why I do what I do) is beyond satisfied with the massive cleaning, re-org and set-up going on in our new house.  Its my secondary everything now, instead of my first.  Hey - I can't change my ENTIRE sense of being for this little guy but at least its moved down the list! ;)

  • I feel like these days nobody thinks you should eat whatever you want. People are a lot more health conscious and also have less boundaries. I've never gotten so many stranger's opinions on what I eat or drink. 

    I voted for feeling the bebe moved. I honestly thought pregnancy was absolutely miserable until I could feel movement. Now it is only half miserable haha. ;)
  • Feeling LO move. It's always my favorite part. :)

  • I think feeling the baby move is creepy sometimes, although not a popular opinion. I love when DH talks to her  :x

  • I chose the fact that people do more stuff for me now that I'm pregnant - and it's stuff I can easily do myself - but the attention is nice. 

    It was a toss-up, though, between that and feeling my LO move in my belly. That is so awesome - and annoying sometimes - but I do wish my DH could feel it, too. I try to describe what it feels like, but it's hard to gauge if DH is interested or feeling left out. 

    Anyways, it's been pretty great overall!

  • I love feeling my LOs moving albeit, strange sometimes! I think I love watching DH enjoy it more though & the cute little boyish giggles that come from him are so adorable!!

  • I feel like I suddenly have more energy (thinking it is due to my recent iron infusions)  But I am enjoying the nesting aspect, getting things done around the house, shopping for my LO and feeling my little bean jumping around in there!  I am feeling good right now and suddenly enjoying this aspect of pregnancy.

  • I'm generally a cynical lady.

    This baby is the best thing to ever happen to me. I frighten myself and everyone around with how happy I am...I'm nauseatingly positive. And it feels amazing.

  • I picked feeling him move but a sibling for my girls and seeing how excited they are to meet him is right there too!!! Now if nesting could start... My house is a M.E.S.S.!!!!

    Absolutely in love with our 'big' family!

    I'm also a proud Auntie to a crazy little girl, her brand new baby sister, a little man on his way in the next month, and a sweet little mister we will miss forever!!!
  • This is going to sound very superficial, but I'm going for it anyway...my hair...I don't love my hair, but when I'm pregnant, none of it falls out, and at 30 weeks, it's thicker than normal.  It's just one of those things that I don't normally love about myself when I look in the mirror, so it's nice to feel like i have decent hair!

    I do love feeling her move - most of the time, and all the extra help I get from my DH - he's always telling me to "go sit down!"  Don't mind if I do!

    I LOVE maternity jeans...but moreso when not pregnant.  The bands are uncomfortable now. But you can bet I'll be rocking them for at least a few months PP :-p.


    I loooooooooove maternity jeans too. Ah a world with no buttons. Elastic top pants. Perfection.

    I always feel like my maternity jeans are too heavy for the panel. Like, they constantly try to fall down... :/ and the panel is so hot! I'm so hot these days that I've given up wearing pants altogether. Dresses, skirts, or DH's athletic shorts every day. :P

  • Definitely has to be feeling this little life I'm growing kicking around inside me!
  • The mere thought of a being growing inside of me and then I feel some hard parts when she kicks is amazing. Loving it!!
    :x
  • 100% feeling him move inside me and just imagining what he looks like etc...











  • Right after DD was born I would feel my tummy rumble from gas and for a split second think it was her and smile.  I missed having her be all mine.

  • Definitely feeling LO move. I will miss that the most when she's an outside baby.
