Memoirs of a pregnancy

While I was swimming last night, I was compiling a list in my head of the things I like and dislike about being pregnant so far. I thought it would be good to record them, so that I can look back on them later and remember how I felt...so here it is!

I'm writing this at 6 months so some things may change as the weeks go on...

My favourite things about being pregnant are...

* feeling the baby kick and move
* seeing our baby on the ultrasound screen
* having an excuse to buy an entire new wardrobe
* having a cute belly
* shopping for baby gear
* planning and decorating a nursery
* not having to worry about how your stomach looks at the pool
* prenatal yoga
* strong fingernails
* chatting with complete strangers who ask me about the pregnancy and tell me their stories

My least favourite things about being pregnant are (these are all pretty minor actually, except for the first one on the list!)...

* CONSTANT KILLER HEARTBURN !!!
* not being able to run/play ultimate
* feeling 'impeded' when bending over
* no alcohol
* veins surfacing in weird places
* having people touch my belly without asking
