Things I've loved about pregnancy

in October 2013 Moms
I'm feeling sentimental. This was my first pregnancy and there has been a lot of uncomfortableness, embarrassing gas and midnight trips to the bathroom. But with that, there has been moments that made me unbelievably happy. I've got 15 days until my due date and I can't wait to meet my little girl. I am just thinking about what I have enjoyed most about pregnancy and here is what is on my list: 

1. Baby kicks, they are amazing even when they hurt
2. The first time hearing her heartbeat (better than the u/s because it looked like she had a tail)
3. Husband looks at me like I am a goddess even when I'm vomiting
4. Those 5 weeks when your boobs know you are pregnant, but the rest of you keeps it secret
5.  People bring you food and cold beverages

What have you enjoyed?

    Baby kicks.
    Not having to think too much about what to wear or what looks good.

    I'm a bit sentimental too as this pregnancy nears an end and I don't know that I'll be doing this again. But I really don't like being pregnant.

    I love when DH reaches over to rub my belly, talk to the baby and gives it a kiss! He's been amazing especially the past few weeks when I've started to slow down.

    Baby kicks! Of course the special attention from being a FTM.
    I've loved nesting for his arrival also

    In the 1st tri, I loved everything except the worrying. I was so excited to be pregnant, but I was also a wreck all the time, but couldn't really talk about it. The 2nd tri was fantastic! No complaints! 3rd tri has been painful, lol.

    Best moments... hearing the heartbeat at 7w, seeing her actually look like a little baby instead of just a flicker at 11w, hearing she was a she at 20w- basically every u/s has been great :) I love the kicks too!

    Baby kicks. Not having to suck in. Being able to move slow/take my time. How much I loveeeee ice cream now.

    But really..3 weeks couldn't come quicker!

    Baby kicks, glow, awesome hair, happy feeling, cravings, heartbeat and most of all seeing her in the ultrasound.

    Kicks are my favourite. When H rests his hand on my belly or talks to her. Shamelessly eating ice cream when I want to and everyone wanting to feed me or bring me water :)

    Heartbeat!
    My H looking at me like I'm super woman for doing all of this
    Maternity pictures
    H having conversations with LO when he thinks I'm asleep

    However I will say these were moments and for the most part I have been miserable an in pain and have hated it! I can't wait for LO to come out!

    I love how enjoyable this pregnancy has been. I didn't know what to expect as a FTM.

    I also love feeling the baby move. We are team green, so I can't wait to find out what it is and hold it for the first time.

    After terrible 1st tri acne my skin now looks better than it has since before puberty! Woot woot! And not sucking it in. Oh, and people letting me cut in bathroom lines.

    That's pretty much it.

    I loved seeing the baby yawn on the us, having an excuse to be lazy and tell ppl I'm too tired to go somewhere, all the attention, and the kicks.

    Lol I thought so too but it made me smile. I was definitely not feeling my preggo body and feeling bad because ppl keep telling me I don't look preggo and I can clearly tell the difference. I was like you def don't want to see me naked its not hot and that's when he said it and it made me feel better.

    I'm not of the "pregnancy is a wonderful" Camp. yes, there have been experiences that I have enjoyed, ultrasounds, hearing heartbeat and feeling lo. However, pregnancy has not been very enjoyable for me and I'm not really sure I could/would do this again.

    LOL . . . uh . . . being pregnant has sucked.

    Which was an extra bummer because I wanted to be pregnant and expected to like it.

    I guess baby kicks and seeing the scans. Everything else, blah.

    Pregnancy has been an awesome ride for me and I am so glad because most of my friends previous experiences were horrible so I did not expect it to be a good nine months.

    A lot of this has been said: obvs. seeing baby and hearing heartbeat and feeling LO move around
    ~I love how luscious my hair has become, and how fast my nails grow, not to mention the insane skin glow I've had all these months
    ~The amazing food I have splurged on and being able to make ice cream part of my daily nutritional plan
    ~Being treated like a goddess by everyone and not having to really do much myself - especially having others pick things up off the floor for me in the last month!
    ~The nesting and the fact that it allowed us to completely renovate this house in record time

    I feel like I should make this list just to persuade myself to be pregnant again in the future, because without some kind of positive spin, LO is gonna be an only child.

    1.  The company, talking to baby, him kicking back, rubbing my belly, playing him music, feeling like I have a partner to help me get through difficult moments...sounds more like schizophrenia actually

    2.  Buying baby paraphernalia

    3.  When DH rubs or kisses my belly

    4.  Pregnant libido

    5.  Allowing myself to be lazy

    Every U/S this pregnancy has been great - I initially feared this the most because of my first pregnancy/loss. 

    Random people on the street who see my belly and smile or say "congratulations" but who are kind/polite enough to leave it at that.

    1) the fact that my leg hair BARELY grows... It's like a pregnancy miracle.

    2) food. Food. More food. Can't stop, won't stop.

    I've noticed the leg hair barely growing too! Why is that?

    I will miss:
    Baby kicks.
    The extra attention.
    Being able to eat what I want.

    Can't think of much else! Pregnancy has been pretty much miserable and I'm so glad it's almost over :)
