appreciating the first trimester

whatwhatinthebuttwhatwhatinthebutt
in July 2013 Moms

I decided to try to work on my attitude, so here it goes - things to appreciate in the first trimester:

 

I can still sleep on my belly

I still have plenty of time to buy what I need and save up money

I dont have to deal with the annoying "Awwwww when are you due" questions in that whiny voice as if I'm the baby

I can still see my feet and shave my legs

Changing positions while sleeping doesn't take a forklift

I'm not constantly checking the toilet for the ever elusive mucous plug

my ankles still look like ankles

.... ok.. what else do you ladies have?

    Great post! I am thankful for a lot of what you already mentioned, but especially that no one can tell I'm pregnant yet so I don't have to field obnoxious, rude or unwanted comments/questions. Also no judgment on the timing of my two kids.... I absolutely despise when people say "you're pregnant again?" To mom's of one or more. It's rude & judgey.

    I can still hide it from whoever I don't feel like sharing with
    No one expects me to make dinner each night
    With the help of a belly band I can still wear normal clothes

    I'm sure there's more...

    No unwanted strangers in random public places touching my stomah without asking, just assuming that it's ok to touch me when you have never seen me before in your life.

    Everyone hit all of the ones that I would have given, but I wanted to say how much I'm in love with this thread!  Thank you!  I needed an attitude adjustment after today...

    Ditto PP.

    Plus, my face is so clear. I don't need to wear make up. I would break out when I O'd and then when I got my period, so really, my face has looked like a teen for over a year.

    No hemorrhoids yet! Not having to explain that yes, we did plan a 3rd child. It is perfectly reasonable to put a movie in for my kids and sleep for 2 hours in the middle of the day.

    I love the part about the 3rd child and the movie for your girls! This is so true for me too!

    Great post! Although it scares me a little for what we're in for later...

    I'm grateful for no need to buy tampons or deal with periods

    That my DH is doing much more household work, and with a smile

    That I have time to save up for future baby purchases

    That pregnancy nudged me to be my absolute healthiest... And I feel it!

    Yes, exactly! We haven't told anyone yet, and it's fun having this secret between us. :)
