Ahhhh ... Pregnancy

So I was thinking to myself this morning about the state of being pregnant. Some parts are really fun, and other parts really suck. Here are some recent musings:

What I HATE About Being Pregnant
- Progesterone poisoning (aka Morning Sickness).
- Some of my favourite cute little shoes seem unusually tight, but I'm pretending not to notice.
- Growing out of maternity clothes. (!)
- Getting fatter in every which direction.
- Not being able to 'groom' my own bikini area - because I can't see it anymore.
- Not being able to wear my wedding and engagement rings anymore. Sigh....

What I LOVE About Being Pregnant
- Feeling her dance around in there after I eat something she likes (or hates).
- Linea negra. I think it's hilarious that those silly pregnancy lines running up and down from my navel can't get themselves lined up properly.
- How fast the weeks go by, and finding out what common household object I can compare her to.
- Scoring great deals on Craigslist.
- Hearing her heartbeat during appointments with my midwife.
- 'Having' to get pedicures with pregnant friends because we can't reach our feet anymore.
- Waking up in the middle of the night and Johnny has his hand on my tummy to see if he can feel her move.

Oh Ang,

Your list of things you don't like made me spit out my coffee!!! You're funny!

I wish you still worked here, I miss you!
