So throughout the past 8.5 months I've been pretty darn blessed with how my pregnancy has been going, and thought of drawing up a list just to compare how many great things have happened as opposed to how many not-so-great things have happened... so here it is... my list as I see it at this particular point (33 weeks and 6 days pregnant) :)
PROS
- feeling great still
- no complications
- looking pretty good still ;)
- can at least drink hot chocolate
- can eat lots and lots
- freedom from changing Batman's litter box
- people asking how I'm doing and offering to assist with everything
- feeling Baby move in my belly is the most awesome experience I've ever had
- being called chubby or fat just makes me laugh
- books & presents for Baby :)
- people excuse a lot of blunders due to Baby eating brain cells ;)
- NO MIGRAINES!!!
- picking out and buying/registering for Baby stuff is fun!
- looking at Baby clothes is fun! even if you're not knowing of Baby's gender ;)
- gaining new friendships with other moms/dads - and getting advice from them!
- being loaned or given maternity clothes from friends who don't currently need them ROCKS!! whoo-hoo for previously preggo friends & family
- boss doesn't care if you're wearing maternity jeans three days a week
- actual cleavage for the first time in my life :)
- 24/7 nausea from weeks 6-15
- can't stand smell of Chinese food
- can't eat chocolate desserts or drink chocolate milk
- Pregnancy Brain
- extreme fatigue often
- people try to tell you how to raise your child
- being overly emotional and hormonal ;)
- lack of motivation to do anything due to lack of energy
- trying to figure out what products are the right ones for Baby can be frustrating
- making three pairs of pants last through a five day work-week without wearing the same ones two days in a row...
- swelling fingers, feet & ankles
- cellulite on thighs (and probably bum too - can't see that though!!)
- 3rd trimester sex is awkward to do
