Pregnancy positives

[leviosa]

Hopefully, soon I will be enjoying lots of movement. I can't wait to feel the baby. I still haven't felt a flutter.

I also enjoy the slow hair growth.

I have been putting a coat of clear polish on my nails to keep from biting them and they are growing fast and they look great.

I enjoy having a bump and mine is making an appearance for sure in the last 4 days. My mom mentioned it this morning and so did my friend who I visited with before we hit the road home this morning.

I also love not getting a period. I hope it stays away for 10 months PP. With DS2, I got it back at 6 weeks because his pyloric stenosis kept him from nursing like he should have been.

I love the cute bump stage.

Not so much this pregnancy, but my last pregnancy, my hair was dry...it was amazing to not wash and blow dry so often. I was still coloring my hair then, so I don't have as much this time since I'm natural hair color.

I love my cravings during pregnancy because they're usually salad and fruit. With dd I only net gained about 17lbs. Hoping to do the same with this one. So far the scale hasn't really moved.

Movement is the best, especially when other people can start to feel/see it. With dd it got pretty uncomfortable and I probably complained a lot...this time I'm trying to just be grateful and soak it all in.

I love feeling movement.

Not having a period is fantastic too. With the other two, mine doesn't come back until I wean. Hoping it will be the same with this one.

The cute bump stage is fun too.

The pass people give you for things because you are pregnant, like the food you eat.....

I definitely love not having a period and having an excuse to sleep whenever I want. OH! Not having to do the kitty litter!

My H always gives me a look when I fill my plate (especially for seconds, lol). I always just say, "I'm pregnant!" And then once I'm not pregnant I get to say, "I'm nursing!" Right now, I get to say, "I'm pregnant and nursing!" Geeze I'm supplying 3 people with nutrients, let me eat!!! Lol, I need to get my portion sizes under control once I'm no longer nursing because I may blow up like the side of a house!

Now that I'm moving into 2nd tri, I'm going to get serious about eating healthier and not so many carbs. They have been a life saver with MS though.

I feel so sexy when I am pregnant (well, except in first tri and really close to the end). I am naturally a straight up and down, kind of bony person. When I am pregnant I have curves and it makes me feel so womanly and powerful.

Also wild sex dreams. Like wake up with an orgasm sex dreams. Thank you hormones.

@gotgingy, you must be lucky and have the pregnancy "glow." I definitely am lacking that this time around. My face is so broke out. I feel like I'm going through puberty again.

OMg, this has been me since going off birth control. Wahhhh!!

I like being able to justify myself when I want to treat myself or eat mac n cheese 3 nights in a row for dinner, lol. 

I have to say though, so far, my body is really adjusting to this pregnancy well! I'm shocked. I'm also proud of myself for continuing to work out around 4-5 days a week!

I'm enjoying the bump, and pleasantly surprised that I never had bad MS. I did eat a lot of carbs, though I'm also drinking up the attention and the passes people give me in life just for being pregnant. I worked hard to get here, you better believe I'm going to enjoy it!

Excuses to nap. I love naps and no one judges me when I'm pregnant.

I love feeling movement and can't wait until that starts again. I like getting a pass to eat what I want (but I do try and keep the indulgences in check) and the excuse to buy new clothes for me and the baby. It makes me sad to only wear them temporarily, but it's still fun.
