Weird things that make you excited!

So I can't be the only one who has had some experience or symptom that I got really excited about. Hopefully others will chime in and share!

I got a sharp pain in my breast and looked, I leaked colostrum for the first time! I'm really hopeful about breastfeeding and that just made me super excited! Lol Seems like such a strange thing to get excited about.

I peed myself a little due to a sharp kick to the bladder earlier!

I don't know if it was excitement I felt but I got my first "vagina kick" today! Lol!!

I get excited about my weekly Dr. PEPPER treat. I never drank pop before and now I just am in ice cold bubbly Dr. Pepper heaven when I drink it. Lol I think I miss alcohol and get so sick of water that it just does the trick for me!

I got most excited the other night when I was just lounging on the couch and held my belly and said "I love you" and he kicked me :')


He usually only responds to my husband so it really made my day

Braxton Hicks make me excited. I don't get them often or every day but when I do get one it all just feels so real.

Vanilla coke gets me extremely excited... it's sad lol. Also, raspberry tea, waffles, and blueberry muffins. I mostly get excited about food... Meh.

Baby hiccups! Winnie had her first bout of hiccups today and I melted.

I did the same thing with my boobs. It hurt really bad, almost like a pinch stab kind of pain, and then there is was. So damn cool. LOL

Yes! A pinch/stab is the best way I've heard it described. The pain sucks but I'm not even mad, it's so cool to know they're doing what they're supposed to! Lol

Sorry but I get really excited when I have to poop.

smiversen

Going off @cakes27 I'm really excited that I poop more regularly now!! Lol! Before I was pregnant I would go like once a week, maybe. And I was really worried because everyone talks about how constipated they get due to the prenatal, but I swear my prenatal makes me WAY more regular!! If I miss it one day I'm constipated for two days. Haha sorry about the long post about bowel regularity

cakes27

Haha @smiversen I'm so jealous!

I second the Dr Pepper! I've pretty much eliminated sugary drinks from my diet but oh is Dr Pepper good right now!!

Growingapepper

I was the same way when my boobs started leaking! I called my mom right away I was so excited lol I had to tell someone

kate913

I love when I can feel her kick, especially when my husband can feel her too...It just doesn't get old ❤️

Oh my god, I thought this was just a weird fluke for me! I'm the exact same way. Before I was pregnant I might go twice a week, max. Now I'm going 2 or 3 times a day. It's awesome!

JenLovesDesign

Oh I used to be a regular pooper, 3 more months..... Anyway, I get excited for ice cream and candy.

LaurenNewph

@shelbydd and @cakes27 my prenatals make me feel great too!

@Mehilovna I think you posted somewhere about someone not liking your baby name, but I'm too lazy to go find it. I love Winnie! It's so adorable!

I don't know if this counts, because it's not something that makes me excited about the baby, I'm just enjoying the crap out of it, but: smelling! 

All the good scents seem to be amplified by 1000 (smoke gets amplified too but I try not to think about that haha. Luckily other bad smells like trash are about the same to me as pre-pregnancy). 

I first noticed it with food. I would go in the grocery store and be like, "Wow those peppers smell amazing!" when I've never smelled a pepper from afar before. It's been THE BEST since all the flowers started blooming! I don't even have to go up to them, I can smell them in the breeze. Yesterday I was walking with my husband and I was like, "Can you smell those roses? I CAN." I'm basically a superhero.

ktbkitten

I get excited when I can poop too!! I wish that I was more regular though. I have this poop window and as long as I make it I am good, but if I miss it blah, it really sucks. 

mybabynumber2

Food! Totally gets me excited when it's feeding time lol.

PrincessPiper

My husband hasn't been able to feel baby move yet (23wks), so I'm looking forward to that! I have an anterior placenta this time around, which is so different from my boys. I feel her way deep inside, inside of more in my belly.

@PrincessPiper hubby felt ours LO rolling the other day for the first time, despite it being our second he was still like wooooaahh! That's nuts !

Won't be long now sweet :-)

It's so different this time! I haven't been able to see any movements either. But she is so active these days! Constant movement! I stayed up with Jimmie until 2am this morning, and she was up with me. Moving all about!

I feel bad for everyone who's so backed up and constipated, because truly I can't stop going. Like 3-4 times a day and the second I feel it I have to go NOW. there is no chance of waiting haha

Mehilovna

@LaurenNewph - it was the boys' name I was having trouble with. Eduardo Alphonso... it was just.. too much... Soooo happy I'm having a girl, cuz now I get to use my name choice. Winnifred Rei it is! Thank you

My first trimester I poo'd maybe every week to week and a half plus it took a good hour to get the deed done. Now I'm excited that it takes less than 10 min and happens sometimes 3 times a week plus it doesn't hurt. I'm also excited when I eat and check my sugar and it's in a good range. GD since week 9 but good numbers mean the doc doesn't raise my insulin doses.

When my toddler naps and I can actually lay down and nap too! Or read my book in peace.

I'll be ridiculously excited when the water is finally warm enough to swim in around here. I love me some anti gravity H2O

I just love when baby gets more active in the evenings.

I am excited to get this baby out and as I'll be having a c-section I'll be in hospital for at least 4-5 days..... I am excited to have people waiting on me hand a foot!! Lol not taking the nurses and midwifes lightly but I can't wait to push that little button and have someone bring me snacks!! Or the regular meals that arrive to my bed like clock work!!
Feeling pain? Oh here have a cup of pills to take your woes away! Hahaha it's the little things!
