The good and the not so good

There are so many neat things about being pregnant that you enjoy...then there are the things that you wish would just pass you by! Here are a few of mine!
1. I love feeling the baby move inside of me! My favorite time is when I am laying down and you can feel the baby moving so much and you can watch your stomach moving too! I love this part of being pregnant.
With that happening it means that your baby is growing and so am I! I could definitely do without the weight gain, I find when I am further along in my pregnancies looking at women who have an actual waist line and envying them! The bad thing is that it just doesn't magically reappear to its former self once you get the baby out...WHY!!!
2. I love how Beau tells me how much more fun it is to snuggle me when I am pregnant! I don't know why for sure. I am hoping it has to do with that he can feel close to our baby too! AHHH!
I hate not being able to sleep on my stomach! This is my all time favorite most comfortable way to sleep and not being able to do it can be really annoying, especially when Beau can lay right there and sleep however he dang well pleases!
3. I love how complete strangers can be so sweet to you just because you have a huge belly! Opening doors for you, picking up dropped items, letting you cut in front of them in line at the bathroom or the store! How sweet is that!
I hate having to get up and go to the bathroom a number of times in the night even though I go right before I go to bed! I hate it that I can't drive all the way to Flag (an hour away) without feeling like I am going to pee my pants before I get there!
4. Its kinda nice feeling like you can eat anything you want and not worry about the scale saying that doughnut or those french fries just cost you 2 pounds!
On the other hand sometimes I just don't know what I want to eat because NOTHING looks good. Oh and what is up with being pregnant and getting heartburn??? I have never had heartburn in my life and now I have had it probably 5 or 6 times! What is up with that!
5. I love how Beau spoils me when I am pregnant! I would never get tired of that! The massages, the sweet man he is! I love it when he gets excited about the baby we are having together! The other day he said something about "my daughter" and I swear I got so cheesy...Beau thinks I'm a nerd!
These hormones can drive a person nuts! Crying comes so easy to me now. It can be rather annoying. I try to hide it because I don't want Beau to think I am a big baby or the boys to think there is something wrong with there mom!
That being said, for now I am pretty much enjoying being pregnant at this stage. However we all know how fast that will change in a couple months time...
