Top 10

Inspired by a blog a friend recently sent me, I thought I'd create my top 10 favorites (& slightly less than favorites) about the pregnancy so far...
10. I love the parking spaces at HEB for expecting women & I get highly aggitated when I see a man or teenager park there- beware the wrath! There is a limited time of my life I get to park that close & I've waited a long time for this! So get out of Greta the Jetta's way!
9. Who knew going to the gyno could be so fun & that I would actually enjoy picking out outfits for ultrasound or heartbeat days!?!
8. sweets- i was formerly a salt craver. I was really missing out on the world of sweets which I've now discovered! moose tracks ice cream & banana pudding with chocolate chips- yum! I do admit that I miss feta cheese, blue cheese, wine, margaritas, cesar salad, & fish. Glad to give them up for a while, however...
7. the wild dreams! wow - so vivid! no gender specific dreams yet... just dreams about everything else - school, nursing, labor, etc.!
6. maternity clothes! I know- you're supposed to hate them but I love them! How great is it to be able to pull your pants on without ever zipping anything?!? It sure makes those bathroom trips throughout the day easier! And the dresses & tops- so fun!
5. People offering to help out carrying things, etc. It's nice to be pampered!
4. ability to fall asleep anywhere - quite convenient sometimes! Sleeping at night is sometimes a different story. I fall asleep easily but then am up a few times a night usually. I enjoy the quiet & silence of the night - uninterrupted time to lay in bed & dream about the baby & feel for kicking! Poor Reagan is being a great sport- I'm currently sleeping with 4 pillows!!! I think I need to purchase one of those all in one maternity pillows - or else Reagan will be pushed out of bed soon!
3. i really enjoy the pregnant body! I'm less self consicous now than ever before! Maybe because the belly distracts from other places that I'm normally self consicous about... Or maybe it is because I feel so feminine. I don't know - I just really enjoy having a pregnant body & actually feel really good about myself - which is nice.
2. listening to a heartbeat never sounded so good! Still makes me giggle & cry with relief!
1. LOVE the kicks!!! I can now push on my belly & the baby pushes back! It's so fun & reassuring!
