What’s your favorite part of pregnancy?

I can tell you what I WON'T miss or cherish: the heartburn! Seriously, I have never gotten it so bad in my life, and I must say any heartburn relieving medication out there tastes absolutely disgusting consdering how much my tastebuds have changed.

The acne was bad at first, until my doctor perscribed me a (very expensive) really great medication. If it weren't for this stuff, I would be going crazy. Now, I'm happy with finding only a single (and easily coverable) pimple a week.

Okay, perhaps there's another one too: the overgrowth of the milk-makers. Seriously, being a DDD/E to begin with was impossible to deal with, but they've outgrown every bra I have, and at that size, bra shopping is NOT cheap! And it's not like I'm a big girl to begin with, I was just unluckily blessed with a generation of gigantic jigglies. My mother and sister beat me to the breast reduction and I'm kicking my own behind for not following in their footsteps.

Otherwise, I love the fact that this pregnancy is a breeze, being my first and all. No morning sickness, no moodiness, and not so much of the other not-so-fun problems.

I also love the reactions my other half has to the things that are happening... ultrasounds, sonograms (he giggled like a school-girl the first time he heard the heartbeat), the baby kicking, the changes in my body... He's behind me every step of the way and seems to be loving me more and more as we progress through them together.

I have never looked so good, and I still get hit on by random guys with my big preggo belly hanging out. Makes a woman's self-esteem boost by a million points.

Being pregnant is truly an amazing experience, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

I am 21 weeks and looking back on the tough 3-4 months of all day sickness and headaches I think I will mostly remember the support my husband gave me. I'm sure as the time passes I will forget about the sickness and hold comfort in the fact that I will have warm memories to reflect on. One day I just cried for hours and kept asking him if I was crazy...he kept telling me I was growing our baby and was strong, but needed a break every once in a while -- mentally/emotionally and the crying jag was just that. If it wasn't for him talking me through those moments I don't know what I would've done.

I'm 17 weeks now, and while I wasn't ill, damn I was tired... nice to have that easing a bit.
Things I like about being pregnant:
- No periods for most of a year.
- An excuse for a whole new wardrobe!
- My husband treating me like spun glass, lol.
- Smiles from the whole office now that I've told them.
- Just knowing that I/we CAN have kids!
- My bump is still relatively small but I am loving watching it grow. No movements yet...

It's a cross between my bump and feeling Bean move! I really actually just LOVE being pregnant. However, I've had a pretty easy pregnancy so far, so we'll see how it goes...

(Btw - I LOVE your blog. Hilarious, well written and oh so true! Glad to hear that I'm not the only one sneezing...)

My pregnancy has been rough - diagnosed with hyperemesis at eight weeks, lots of migraines, lots of modified bed rest. But seeing the baby move for the first time at twelve weeks, feeling the first movements last week, and the bond that my husband and I are creating have really made up for it.

I'm still on week 12, and more nauseous than ever. I keep hoping the next trimester will bring a pleasant lull to this rolling stomach. For now I'll say the best is yet to come!

Wow - I'm only 7 weeks along, so I really don't know that I even feel pregnant (except for the vomiting that just hit me), much less have any favorite thing about it at this point... But, reading your adventures makes me a little more excited about the things to come than I previously found myself being. I would call myself...nervous, more than anything, at this point. *giggles*

Last time I loved nearly everything about pregnancy, especially having a revved up metabolism! This time it's a little harder and I'm bigger, I miss being able to bend easily. But the greatest thing is feeling the baby move. Both of my kids have been super active so I get a continuous reminder of the little one on the way.

I loved it all! The bump, the multiple ultrasounds, hearing the baby's heart beat at every visit, feeling the baby kick, decorating the nursery, the baby shower etc. It was all so exciting being a first time Mom, and I can't wait to do it again :) I didn't know how much I would miss it when it was over, but now 2 years later I am most def. ready to do it again! Embrace it all and enjoy every second. I wish my husband and I would have been as creative as you and Tarzan ... I love reading all of your daily adventures lol. Keep up the good work :)

Jessi - You made me LOL! I'm so happy that you got yourself some boobs!!

Crysi - I am with you on the baby movements! I'm sure carrying twins is a lot different than just a single baby! I can't imagine the hugeness that you talk about, but I'm sure it makes you feel huge... but just think about the little girls in there!

Peta - I agree about the bond thing. I've noticed it with Tarzan and it's wonderful! And I love the ultrasounds too! Just wish that I got one every time I went to see the dr. Now that would be cool!

Ninja - What a funny comment! It made me think of each time that Tarzan talks to our baby - He talks in my belly button. I wonder if he thinks that it;s a microphone. Ha, ha! Congrats on getting big boobs too! I only went from a C to a D (so far), so I'm sort of jealous of your jump from an A to a C. Wow!

Das's Wifey - I'm so sorry that your pregnancy has been complicated and I hope that it gets better for you. I am glad to hear that you love feeling your daughter, I know that feeling the baby is so reassuring!

Def feeling my daughter move. But everything else kinda sucks, I've had a really complicated pregnancy so far and this new HUGE body takes some getting used to but feeling her move lets me know she's okay.

I'm not as huge this time around as I was before, so it was kinda frustrating to feel preggers but not look it. But After my 6th month I finally looked pregnant and not just chubby, and my boobs are huge, I went from an A cup to a C cup which was awesome. I also live feeling my daughter move, even though it feels like she's trying to come outta my belly button sometimes :)

Best part so far is the bond that has formed between my fiance and I and also the ultrasounds have been unreal, the most emotional and surreal part of it seeing your baby growing in side you WOW is all I can really say because it just blew me away and made it all so real.

the baby movements are great. Last pregnancy I loved my bump, especially since it took so long to appear. This time, I'm not liking pregnancy at all. I'm huge already and feel like I've already hit the third trimester.

I got boobs!! Seriously! Yeah, they hurt, and yes they are now covered in stretch marks, but I actually have a rack! LOL.
