Pregnancy according to me

Being pregnant is the best, it really has been so great! But even with that being said there are a few "precious joys" that go along with it.

What I love about being pregnant
* Having baby girl with me all the time, everywhere I go. She is my little buddy
* Feeling baby girl move
* Watching Brad hold my tummy and talk to her
* Watching her do funny things on the ultrasound
* I have the best skin and hair right now, it's awesome!
* I always have an easy conversation starter, this is especially nice at work.
* I have the best job in the world - oh you walked on the moon?? I'm just growing a human life...no big deal.

The funny/not so great parts about being pregnant
* Everyone, and I mean everyone feels like they have the right to comment about your body. Come on people, am I the first pregnant lady you've ever seen?
* Random people ask you when you're due...excuse me, did your mother teach you nothing? Unless you see a baby crawling out of them you NEVER assume someone is pregnant.
* Hormones- I have said it before and I'll say it now, I cry over everything. Brad deserves a medal or something.
* Feeling like an albino whale, and then having someone tell you how pregnant you look that day. Thank you, I wasn't aware that my uterus is the size of a basketball.
* The techs at the Dr. office always ask me if I think I'll be able to give them a urine sample. I'm pregnant, of course I can give you a urine sample. I can pee 30 seconds before I walk into your office and if you hand me a cup and tell me to pee in it, I'll probably fill it to the top.
* Almost every birthing video I've watched the woman (and sometimes her coach) is naked. Why? Why does everyone have to be naked to deliver. Who knows, maybe its an unwritten L&D rule and I'll have to be naked too. I've already decided if I have to be naked, so does everyone else in the room ;)

I'm sure there are many more things I love and things I find funny about being pregnant, but that's all I can think of right now. :)

27 weeks and a new dresser

Wow, I can't believe I am almost 7 months pregnant! The time has flown by so fast. I have really "popped" in the last 2-3 weeks. You could hardly tell I was pregnant and now there is no question. She is about 2 pounds (crazy that she already weighs more than some of the babies in the NICU) and she is 15 inches long. She moves all the time which is so fun! I have loved being pregnant but I am definitely ready to have my body back. I miss running without feeling like I am going to pee my pants. But I have no complaints, baby girl has been pretty good to me so far. :)

 

BABY GIRL'S DRESSER

It's finally finished and it looks so great! Brad matched the stain to the color of the crib perfectly! You would think the dresser and the crib came together as a set. I am very happy with the way it turned out and I can't wait to fill it full of baby clothes! :)
