I Love Being Pregnant!

Seriously--I do!  I can't understand those women who moan and gripe around about how awful they feel and how the wish they could just hurry up and get it over with.  Being pregnant is the most awesome thing in the world!

I love lying in bed at night or in the morning, feeling this little being inside of me.  I love to feel him kicking and moving.  I love to "play" with him--pushing and poking on my belly to get him to push and kick back at me.  I love watching my belly and seeing him moving around inside--kind of like the film "Alien," but much nicer!  I love the way my body looks.  I love my round belly and large breasts.  I love to look in the mirror and see--this is what a woman is supposed to look like!

I don't even mind those little discomforts of pregnancy.  The round ligament pains are there to let me know that my uterus is growing and expanding to make room for the little person inside.  The lower backache reminds me that my center of gravity has changed to support this little guy.  Getting up to pee three times in the night isn't a big deal, because I know that my kidneys are working overtime to process all this extra fluid for me and my baby.  The charley-horse that woke me up a few nights ago was to let me know that I'm not meeting my calcium requirements.

I told Ekrem this morning, "I feel so good, so beautiful, I wish I could be pregnant forever."  And as much as I would like to meet this little person, I feel like I know him already.
