Pregnancy Thoughts...

Things I love about being pregnant:

• Having something tremendously life changing to look forward to.
• Feeling every little movement from inside my belly.
• Watching my body change to accommodate a new life.
• Experiencing the anticipation of waiting to find out what its gender is.
• Resigning from wearing restricting buttons or zippers...it's all about the expandable waist bands!
• Finding extra comfy flat walking shoes (no spring/summer heels for me!)
• Hearing people in church say "Peace be with you, and your baby."
• Having an excuse to pull out all of my old toys/books from my childhood days and feel like a kid again.
• Creating my new favorite place in our house for Bart, Baby, and I to enjoy and relax in.

This list of things I love experiencing as a mom-to-be far outweigh my one-hundred-and-one (I counted yesterday) trips to the bathroom, removal of my wedding ring (due to swelling), and odd/negative comments from random people (I say that a pregnant belly comes with a sign on it that says "talk to me!"). I truly consider this time as a gift, and am very thankful to have had such a healthy experience so far. While we still have over a month to go, I'm in no hurry, as I know our baby will come whenever it's good and ready to!
