  • Being able to (finally) use the "Expecting Mom" parking space at CVS. Sure, I can park 1 or 2 spaces over but I've earned the right to use that space, dammit !

  • 1. People are nicer.

    2. Ditto Mrs Mo.

  • Awesome hair that grows so much faster, how willing to help my husband is at all times (hehe), buying baby stuff (so far, just furniture), thinking of baby names, and finally having something to look forward to and not just another cycle of treatment.

    - Shopping for baby clothes. I even tried getting DH to play "let's make baby outfits" last night. I felt like I was 8 years old. He drank wine while I said "Isn't this cute?" about 100 times.

    This!  I love feeling him move!

    I also love being pampered by DH and my family.  They seriously don't let me lift a finger!

  • DH has been a great.  I mean he is always great, but I get extra lower back rubs, water when I need it, more space in the bed, etc.

    And since I'm at work and need to keep this clean.... the "intimate time" has been off the charts.  No joke.  Embarrassed  I can't believe I just said that.

    Starting to feel the babies move.

    I am so incredibly happy, it is ridiculous. But more specifically:

    1) Being at a friend's pool the other day and playing with the kids all the while thinking I would be playing with my own soon.

    2) My father mentioned that he thought A and I would be amazing parents. I had no reason to think we wouldn't be, but hearing him actually say it melted my heart.

    3) Still running longer than the people around me at the gym.

    4) Looking forward to feeling kicks.

    5) I sing to my baby. He should appreciate the sound being muffled because 5 months from now he is going to hear it with less distortion and it might make him cry.

    6) The way my belly jiggles when I really laugh, which is often.

  • Sorry I'm late to this... couldn't play last night:P  I think the best part for me right now is feeling her kicks and watching my belly move.  Last night I was looking down at my belly and it was completely lopsided because she was scrunched up on one side of my stomach.  DH put his head on my stomach and she kicked him!  His reaction was so cute:) 

    The whole thing just amazes me:)

  • I'm a little late too but I wanted to play as well!

    I love feeling him kick and move and seeing how DH's face lights up when he can feel him kick too. I also love the excitement and aniticipation of him getting here... I can't wait to hold him in my arms! Big Smile

    DH loves that my C's have gone up to very large D's (this part I hate! haha)
