The good and the bad

Things I like about being pregnant:
1. The fun attention I get (like when I walk into the dentist and they say, "Oh! You are the pregnant one!" and they are super gentle when cleaning my teeth so that my gums don't bleed)
2. People saying my belly looks cute (That only happens when you are pregnant or under the age of two).
3. Maternity pants....(I mean, who wouldn't want a pair of pants that stretches with your stomach?)
4. The advice and stories I get.  Some are not my favorite, but some are hilarious.
5. The way my kids look at me and hug me...Kind of like they are a little scared of what is going on inside of me
6. The fact that their are at least 4 different teachers at school who have brought me meals...That is pretty amazing
7. The "nesting" instinct.  I love cleaning and organizing.
8.  The fact that people stop for me when driving because they see that "poor pregnant lady" walking across the street.
9. Great hair and nails
10. And the biggest reason I LOVE being pregnant is creating this baby inside of me...I LOVE carrying her, I LOVE it that she is being created in me.  I feel so blessed.


Things that are not so fun:
1. It is hard to get socks on/bend over in general
2. My back is always a little sore
3. Gas...Sorry for those of you who are grossed out by this...
4. The fact that somehow she has to come out....And that is not something that thrills me...Don't get me wrong, I want to meet her, but am not excited about the process.
