The things we enjoy about being pregnant!


This is in response to my thread about how pregnancy isn't glamourous!!!

So for the "loving it" side I suppose we can think about all those lovely things we have while we are pregnant, like seeing the baby on the screen, hearing the heartbeat, feeling the kicks and movements...hearing our babies cry for the first time, dressing them into their going home outfit, changing that first nappy etc.

There is so much I'm looking forward to teaching my baby, and so much I am enjoying about being a mum already! Yeah I know it is going to be hard, esp as I am doing it on my own with a toddler and baby on the way, but I am looking forward to getting to know my unborn baby and watching them develop their own personality.

Watching them learn too, the whole shebang is going to be amazing and I wouldn't trade it for the world, as I know some women can't have babies and some are struggling to concieve. I am so lucky to be having another baby and I'm lucky to be alive, I am going to make the most of the time I have with my son and unborn baby. If I were able to do surrogacy for other women, I would. Just so they could feel the magic of being a mum.

ok good stuff;

I get away with not doing my excerises (used to go on trampoline and weight lift!) i get to eat chocolate and naughty stuff (before i was pregnant i was on a strict diet for 6 months) i love shopping for baby stuff and am excited about getting the nursery decorated. Just feeling her little kicks makes me happy. I also love the fact that im always sleepy so i get to nap lots which i just love and hubby helps more and understands that i dont feel up to cooking so i dont do any! I just generally have an excuse to be a lazy slob!! lol! Then of course before i know it the little one will be here, and thats the best gift ever, no matter what pains i will have gone through its also nice to think about the future, learning my daughter stuff, taking her all the fun places i used to go when i was little. I just cant wait!

The fact I'm going to be a Mum at the end of all of this which lasts a lifetime!

I also love the shopping for baby bits and the fact that people now understand when I say that I don't want to go out in the evenings!

I also like feeling the kicks and seeing how the LO has grown xx

In my case being pregnant its self. I was told it would be really hard cos of my POCS i have. So glad that i have got this far and now knowing what we are having and going for scan's.

Gonna be a mum - If you asked me the question 6 months ago..Will you ever have kids - I would of said no as my car is my child and i will never have kids. How things can change

One of the best part is OH feeling LO kick him last night before he went off to buy a new game for his PS3 at midnight.

Also gonna love going shopping on sat with mum and my friends for boy clothes (Yay) and can now start on nursery.

Eating choc for a good reason (But do miss going to the gym)

What you are given them is the greatest gift in the world. You are truly amazing!! Bless You xxx

I can't wait to hold my little man, to dress him up in his little boy clothes, to take him to his first football match, to see his Daddy holding him and bonding with him, to see all his family around him. He is so loved and wanted xxx

I love my bump, and for once not having to hold my tummy in or wearing those horrible 'control knickers', to get that smooth look under tight clothes . I also love feeling little one kicking around in there, it really is magical, even though this is bump no.6 I never tire of that feeling (even when she wakes me in the middle of the night ). xx
