Pros and Cons to Being Pregnant

I concur with Mom, so here's my December contribution to the blog! :)

Cons
1. Morning (all day) sickness. I no longer love pretzels.
2. Acne. Really?
3. Once you get done with the extreme fatigue, sleeping becomes harder because of your belly.
4. Other peoples’ scary pregnancy/birth stories.
5. The in-between sizes. Your regular clothes are tight, but you’re not quite big enough for maternity clothes.

Pros
1. Thicker hair. Seriously, I love that I can wear my hair straight and it doesn’t look stuck to my head—even after being down all day.
2. Naps are awesome.
3. Tiny, cute things. I’ve always been a sucker for tiny, cute things.
4. The excitement that comes with the little moments like the first ultrasound, and finding out your baby’s gender, and feeling baby kick for the first time (still waiting for the last two to happen).
5. Realizing that I’m actually going to be a mom soon!

Once again I'd like to thank you for going through the whole pregnancy thing first, so I have a valuable resource when it's my turn.

I find that now that you are pregnant I am also draw to small, cute, tiny things. I need to know the gender to I can start BUYING them. :)

Well, whether I've done it once or not, I think mom's still a better resource. :)

If everything goes as planned (i.e. baby cooperates) we should know a gender by Christmas. Hurray! I want to buy tiny cute things too. :)
