Pregnant after IF
What are you loving most
about being pregnant right now? We all know it's not the heat, but hopefully everyone is keeping cool.
I'm really in love with my pregnancy hair. It's just so thick and shiny and styles super well right now. I have an appointment on Thursday to get it cut and have thought about canceling it because I'm just really loving my hair right now.
Another thing I'm loving is how strong and healthy my fingernails are. They haven't looked this great in years!
Your turn. 
? We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness... ?

*My big round belly. It's handy to rest things on and I love putting my hands there to protect or rub or just "hold" my boy.
*Ice cream...nightly.
*My nails are really long and strong.
LOVE my belly.
LOVE my boobs.
LOVE that my hair isn't frizzing even in 100 degree weather.

I also just love my body. I've never been in love with my shape - small boobs and a poochy tummy and giant legs. For the first time in my life, I feel sorta proportionate.
I also am not complaining about my skin/hair/nails.
I will say, though - I read somewhere - maybe on the BFing board, that it isn't breastfeeding that ruins your boobs - it is pregnancy - and I have to agree. My small boobs are still small but weirdly spread toward my armpits and sorta flat. I totally see why women get breast lifts after they're done having babies.
I'm hoping that when my milk comes in, I will have a better looking chest to offset the inevitable post-baby pooch!
We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.
