Benefits of Pregnancy I Don't Get to Reap

1. Belly rubs

No thank you. I don't want to be touched unless your hand is freezing cold. Sorry, Joe.

2. Maternity clothes

This was a good one, at first. I loved buying new cute clothes that were both comfy and flattering. Now it's SO HOT to have that extra panel layer on all of my bottoms and the low cut versions annoy the shit out of me. Also, at first, when the belly was cute and round I loved how maternity shirts accommodated my boobs. Now, my belly is so huge it's just like wearing a regular shirt-not long enough to cover the boobs AND reach all the way down to cover my shorts. Lovely.

3.Cleavage!

I've always had this. Since I had boobs. I would appreciate if these babies would STOP GROWING but they're not going to. They never have stopped growing and I'll be getting the lovely milk growth. Cheers to those who can celebrate this pregnancy feature but not I.

While I've been sick and growing sick of being pregnant, I have found little things I do love. I really love how as long as I've recently emptied my bladder, I can comfortably watch baby girl move and kick and swim like a crazy karate-kickin' maniac in there.

Now that I'm taking iron supplements, I have found that although I'm still tired the majority of the day (again), I have more energy in the evening and don't always get sick making dinner for my family. Until you can't do that, you can't appreciate it when you CAN.

My hair is VERY healthy and shiny and getting pretty long. Everyone can appreciate this, I think. Well, some people like short hair but if you've ever liked long hair or yearned for a change, get pregnant.

One last thing... even though I have consistently felt like ass, I have the pregnancy glow people want. I have good skin and hair and don't need makeup to look decent, most days. LOVELY!

Here I am at 32 weeks, today!
