addition

Bonuses to being pregnant:
  • I have an excuse for getting fat
  • Excuse for not doing sit-ups anymore
  • I get to eat an extra 200 calories
  • I have an excuse to sit and be lazy
  • The first time I feel the baby kick is like opening a present Christmas morning
  • My skin is softer and clearer (adult acne beware!)
  • Afternoon naps become a priority
  • having an excuse to buy new clothes
Cons to being pregnant:
  • Feeling like absolute...blah
  • Everything gets bigger
  • Zero energy or motivation to get anything done
  • Being absolutely drained and exhausted by 5pm
  • Morning sickness
  • Constantly thinking and planning my next meal
  • Making sure I have food around me at all times
  • The day when your non-pregnancy jeans don't fit anymore
  • realizing the scale doesn't lie especially when a nurse is looking over your shoulder
  • not being able to sleep on my tummy anymore :(
But, of course, the beautiful reward in the end is worth every stretch mark, fat joke, cankle, pound gained. We don't find out the sex of the baby until the end of this month. Any guesses?

I guess a boy but what ever it is, he/she will be beautiful, just like mommie.

I fell your joy and pain! I am expecting my third baby boy in December. The pregnancy is the worst part! I just wish we could skip right to the end where we get to hold our little bundle of joy!
