My favorite thing about being pregnant is just the feeling of being so blessed and chosen and special to have the privilege of carrying a new person and bringing them into the world.

That being said, I am TERRIBLE at being pregnant. I mean, if it can go wrong, with me, it will. Because of that, in the last 2 months of my most recent pregnancy, I became certain that I would not want to have any more children.

That feeling faded fast the first time I held my brand new, sweet baby girl.

Your “feeling happy” agenda item made me smile. I often feel out of the loop reading other women’s blogs, because most of the blogs I read are written by pregnant women or moms. I don’t know why that is, but there’s always at least one thing I can relate to and your #5 item was it.

I’m glad you’re journaling your feelings. I love going back and reading what my mom wrote in my diary and baby book .

I’m with you…I love being able to eat things I would not normally let myself have and not having to suck it in for THAT pair of pants or shirt. I also really love feeling Ella Carmen kick and move around. I am definitely forming a special bond with her by talking to her so much as she moves around. I can’t wait to scoop her up and smell the top of her head and eat her up!

I’m not crazy about the heartburn (thank you Pepcid!) or the pinched nerve at my tail bone. I’m not crazy about the beetle on it’s back feeling that is really starting to win when I try to sit up or get out of a small car. I’m also afraid of not knowing what labor and delivery is really like…I’ve heard it kind of hurts!

Right now at 32 weeks, pregnancy is still very enjoyable. I definitely look pregnant and people are nicer about carrying my stuff and opening doors. I’m not too uncomfortable yet. But, it’s starting…the anxiety over getting things finished, making sub plans for school, the uncomfortable squished feeling, finding a pediatrician and daycare, birthing classes…I could keep going!

Your comments made me smile and I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way. They also made me remember several things that I left out such as the back aches and heartburn! But that’s okay, it’ll all be worth it!

I loved the thought of the baby and the kicking – LOVED IT! But I didn’t care for the constant attempt by Japanese fishing crews to harpoon me each time I loomed into view. Thanks for saving me, Greenpeace!!

Love the honesty in this post (not that your others aren’t honest). Keep plugging along. You’ll be hating it soon enough. I can hear “get this thing out of me” on about week 36 coming on.

Oh Tabitha, bless you my dear. And I’m with you on almost every single one of those!!!

this is my second pregnancy (not counting a miscarriage) so I am happy for any symptoms almost. Oddly I have serious food aversions this time.. NO chicken, at all! And chinese food? AGH! Smells bothering me even more now. A friend thinks I will have a girl b/c of that.. we’ll see. Not sure how accurate the chinese gender predictor online is. I am 9 weeks along and have insomnia, trouble breathing (like shallow breaths if i do my usual walking..) and it is freaking me out. Also nausea but threw up only 2 times- the 6 week and 8 week mark exactly. How weird! After 12 weeks I hope it subsides. Just NO energy this time around and it’s only been 2 years since I had my little boy.

I dislike, dislike, dislike not drinking caffeine. i miss it. i wish i wasn’t pregnant around the time that pumpkin and gingerbread lattes are advertised all over the place.

i like, like, like that i can carry the babies wherever i go – i always know that they are safe and sound. not so in a few months…years…now i see why moms have such a hard time letting go!
