Let's list the GOOD things of being prego.
Figured while I'm sitting here with a headache, and queasy tummy..it's time to remember the good things.
- I had great hair, soft, shiny, and it grew SO QUICK when I was prego last time. i think a lot of it had to do with the prenatal pills and extra folic acid.
- Excuse to get more clothes....and go shopping
- The way men treat you. "Can I get that for you?" They are so afraid of upsetting you ! (I already started milking it with DH..lol)
- My skin was pretty glowy
- I got a "pass" to avoid seeing inlaws .. "Oh, she's just so tired with the pregnancy and all... we won't be able to see you this weekend."
- Time off of work..even before the baby is here..i'm SO not working till the last minute again..no way!!
add yours!

Re: Let's list the GOOD things of being prego.
DH was hugging me yesterday and said "let me see your elbows" -- my psoriasis is GONE and my elbows look like beautiful, normal elbows for the first time in my life!!!! DH keeps rubbing them and we're enjoying them because as silly as it is, we know it won't last after the baby is born.
My nails are growing as fast as I'm biting them!
It's ok that I can't do a forward fold in yoga class... mind you, I never could, but now I don't feel guilty about not being able to.
I've been able to eat a burrito without feeling guilty.
DH and I are even closer to each other than we were before, which I didn't think was possible! We are just always so happy!

Re: Let's list the GOOD things of being prego.
Not having to "suck it in" after eating a big meal!!! 
Long, strong nails!!!
Shopping for new clothes for both you AND the baby without any type of guilt!!!
Daydreaming about the perfect nursery
Sleeping in the middle of the day (or morning or night or WHENEVER)
and something I recently noticed....I don't have to shave as often. I used to have to shave once a day...now I can go like two days without shaving!!! Hope this lasts because I HATE shaving!!!

Having a craving for a certain food and then someone gladly makes it for you. It's like magic.

Re: Let's list the GOOD things of being prego.
I travel to NYC one week a month and Delta now let's me board early! This is a huge gift when dealing with the tired and irritable early morning business travelers...I never have to fight for overhead space!

Re: Let's list the GOOD things of being prego.
-My much larger boobs.
-Increased sex drive (2nd trimester)
-The glow people tell me I have.
-Acting on a craving and NOT feeling guilty about it.
-Family and friends always telling me to sit and relax.
-Thicker hair, longer nails
And perhaps the best thing of all, is having this perfect little being growing inside of me!

Re: Let's list the GOOD things of being prego.
I enjoy getting dressed to go out, esp. now that I actually look pregnant and not just chubby!
Resting and putting your feet up is just fine....
Shiny and thick hair!
Skin that glows a little more....
The excitement of wondering what baby will look like...
My family is always really excited to see me. More than usual, too! :)
When DH leaves for work in the morning, I am curled up with the puppy and I hear him tell the dog: "take care of mommy today."

Re: Let's list the GOOD things of being prego.
Thicker, shinier hair
Stronger nails
Having a big belly and it being a GOOD thing
Cute maternity clothes
DH doting on me
Not feeling lazy when I just sit around with my feet up
Feeling DC kicking inside me
My glowing skin
The attention you get from everyone
Not being ashamed of eating more than one serving of: (insert junk food of choice here)

- feeling the babies move
- big belly
- sending my husband out for Ralphs Italian Ices whenever I want it.
My babies are only 1 week old and I miss being pregnant already.
