Pregnancy Things I Love and Not-so-much

First, the Love:

  • Feeling like it's perfectly legitimate to negate the benefits of my 2-mile lunch walk by grabbing a hot chocolate on the way back to the office
  • Cute little boy clothes!
  • Good excuses to buy things
  • A reason to set Kevin remodeling (he's a great sport)
  • Realizing there's always another little person with me, especially when he moves

And the things that are Not-so-much:

  • Being exhausted at two o'clock in the afternoon, or at eight o'clock in the evening
  • Not ever finding that comfortable sleeping position, even after taking up 2/3 of the bed
  • Realizing there's so much I have to do
  • Kicks in the lungs with accompanying lightheadedness
  • Severe hampering of my exercise rituals (although I think the change to standard time is also to blame)
  • Tons of decisions. Who has time for that?

And just for fun:


A baby bump.

Cute, I love it.

Great list! I do miss feeling the baby move inside -- I remember after giving birth I would feel random abdominal movements (probably gas!) and think it was the baby. Then realizing that the baby wasn't inside anymore!

Heidi said...

Yay!! Such a cute picture. You look great!

You are so beautiful! I love pregnancy! Wish I could have made it up North for your shower.

I love being able to tell my husband "I don't feel like cooking tonight" and having him get take-out! But I don't like the puky feeling that prompted that comment in the first place. :)

You are looking so cute.

I always tell myself that the sleepless last trimester is to help me get use to the sleepless nights when the baby comes. IT never did give me much comfort.

A body pillow was the best thing ever invented for the third trimester though.

What a great pregnancy figure, it's about time I saw something! Sorry I missed the shower, maybe I should make a visit. I haven't seen you in forever. It was fun to see Kevin at scouts. It's nice for Jonas to see someone from our neighborhood there.
