I feel as though I am having a love/hate relationship with being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I think pregnancy is a very beautiful thing and is such a miracle. There are just many ups and downs with it all. The loves of being pregnant...
- I have a healthy little GIRL growing inside ME that I get to bond with for 40 weeks (hopefully a little less)
- As I get further along, I have an excuse for having a big belly.
- I like that I have the pregnancy glow and I often get comments about it
- I get to park in the expected mother parking in the front row at the mall (which is very nice when I have to my 2 crazy boys with me too)
- I have something to look forward to in Sept when we get to bring this baby into this world
- I love to feel all the movements of this baby, it really is so amazing
- My boobs grew like 2 cups sizes, which is more of a plus for the hubby I guess
The dislikes of being pregant...
- I get to go through summer being huge while I see other girls super skinny and in bikinis (knowing no matter how hard I work out or eat good, I will not look great this summer)
- I have AWFUL ligament pain in my pelvis that makes many things very painful, including sleeping and rolling over, walking, and putting on pants.
- Because of the ligament pain, it is hard to move around and play with my kids very much.
- I can get very cranky and grumpy for no reason at all, and I feel so bad when I do. But I honestly feel like I just can't help it sometimes.
- I get very winded, even just from walking a little bit.
Overall, I am very happy and extremely lucky to be able to be pregnant and have healthy children. I know I am very blessed to have such smooth pregnancies and really shouldn't complain. I can NOT wait for september to be here and meet my little girl. I still can't believe its a girl. I am lucky to have people around me that deal with my moodiness and help me out so much. I can't wait to meet our princess and get my old self back again and get our life situated. The next few months are going to be crazy as I prepare to take my HUGE test in July, another one the end of July, my Clinical exam to get my license in Aug and graduate dental hygiene school in Aug as well. Then I get a month to prepare for our baby and move back home to Utah!
