Just for history's sake, I'm going to write down what I like and dislike about pregnancy. And to "save the best for last" I'm going to put the pros at the end :)Cons:
-Nausea, vomiting, you name it
-Bloating
-Heartburn
-Having to eat all the time
-Food aversions
-Getting fat (and I'm not just talking about the basketball...)
-Headaches, and not being able to take Ibuprophen
-Having to buy new clothes and not fitting in anything w/out an elastic waist
-Waking up in the middle of the night every hour to pee
-Picking out names with your husband
-Feeling tired/worn out all the time
-Having no energy to do...anything...really...
Pros:
-Having a baby :) of course!! Just the fact that I can GET pregnant is a miracle, and I feel very blessed.
-After you eat a big meal, you don't have to suck in your stomach...in fact, you don't have to suck in your stomach EVER...that's the best.
-The great excuse: "eating for two"--ok I'm not totally overdoing it, but I don't feel quite as guilty about my eating habits as I usually do :)
-Planning the baby's room, crib, etc.
-Picking out names yourself
-Having the excuse to buy new clothes
-Everyone is happy for you and can't wait either
-Baby showers--never had one before, but I'm sure it's fun!
-Seeing the awesome little ultrasound!! Hearing and seeing the heart beat.
-And the ULTIMATE best part: my husband is cleaning out his office :) YAY!!!!--OK fine, this isn't the BEST part (#1 was) but it's still really great... :)
