I'm sure that comes in part because my symptoms ARE mild. My "morning sickness" is just a vague nausea easily quelled by saltines and ginger ale. I don't get overly uncomfortable (even as big as I got with Kalena.) Tums are an essential part of my day by now, and I need considerably more sleep than non-pregnant me, but neither of those seem like a big deal. But really what it comes down to is that I just FEEL good. I enjoy seeing my belly grow; I love feeling the baby move; I even like how long it lasts-- it took me all the way until my due date with Kalena before I felt like I was 'done' being pregnant. I feel comfortable in my skin when I'm pregnant in a way I never have before. It is harder being pregnant this time around; running around after an 18 month old takes considerably more energy than working on spreadsheets for 8 hours a day. But still. I just enjoy it. So what about you? Love it? Hate it? Which camp are you in?

Loving it
In this post I talked about my weird pregnancy symptoms, and mentioned that most of my pregnancy symptoms are mild. The more I talk to other people about their pregnancies, the more I realize I'm one of "those women." Those women that pretty much every pregnant woman hates because I? Love being pregnant. LOVE it.

Pretty much hate the first 18 weeks that I spend hugging the toilet, but love the rest of it. Feeling a baby move inside of you has to be one of the most wonderful things in the world. Labor with Eli was a nightmare, but Tate's labor/delivery was SO easy I wanted to do it all over again. Seriously. Then when it's all over, I hate seeing myself in pictures for the next year - no more daily ice cream, oreos, etc.
ReplyDeleteHope you continue feeling well! Good luck keeping up with Kalena!
Love it. It was harder the second time, but I am ready to do it again (you don't need to read into it, it will be a bit still). The frinkn' miracle of life!
ReplyDeleteLove it enough to even consider being a surrogate. I've never felt more beautiful in my life than I did when I was pregnant. I really hope I get to experience it again!
ReplyDeleteSeriously tried REALLY hard to love it and just didn't :( loved feeling the baby move, loved watching my belly grow, but not my thighs, face and butt! HATED how hungry I was.. It actually almost brought me to tears a couple times because I was so tired of eating! We'll see how the next one goes I guess.
ReplyDeleteIs there a no man's land? I fit there. I must love some of it to have done it 5 times, but really the puking?
ReplyDeleteI hate the beginning where I'm sick and exhausted. Love the middle three months. Kinda like the next two. Hate the last month. I go back and forth. :_
