Top 10 things I LOVE about being pregnant...

I am very fortunate to have gone through another pregnancy with hardly any issues. Really the only bad thing other than getting the Rotovirus and some colds is my heartburn but other than that I really can't complain at all so here are my Top 10 LOVES about being Preggo:

10. I don't feel like I have to maintain that flat stomach when I wear something a little on the tighter side.  I can feel and look bloated for a reason!
9. Maternity clothes are way more comfortable. Hey you don't have to worry about any button or anything jabbing into your belly or anything fitting super tight.  Oh yeah, wearing ballet flats are cute on preggo women.  You don't need to wear any heels of some sort.
8. You get extra care when you are out in public.  For instance, the 3 of us just went to Chick-Fil-A and Sean took Hunter to go play on the jungle gym that they had so I was left to get the food for us.  The manager came out from around the counter and told me to go ahead and sit down and that the cashier would bring us our food! I was like I'm not that preggo, but sure!
7.  You don't feel guilty if you go back for seconds =)
6.  Having a frozen yogurt is part of your daily diet. Also extra snacks!
5.  Your husband helps you more around the house.  Sean helps me pick up the extra toys around the house so that I don't have to bend over even though I do it multiple times throughout the day.
4. I'm still the sexiest one out at our pool.  Sean and Hunter are a tie for second.
3.  Pedicures are a must! Whether they are given to you by your husband (thanks, Sean!) or you get them professional done.
2. No pressure to drink when others around you are.  LOL!
1. A good excuse as to why you were late that day to work.  I admit I'm usually late at least once a week but it's not just me now that takes slower to get ready, it can be Hunter too!

Okay and in case you are curious about a few reasons that I have that are on my DISLIKE list of being preggo:

- Yep, can't come home on a Friday night and have that glass of wine that's been calling my name all week.
- You worry that your body will never go back to being skinny again (or at least somewhat back to normal). 
- Getting up from the floor while playing with your son worries you each week on how you are going to get up!

Other than that, like I said, I have no complaints and I'm very blessed to go through another pregnancy with no issues and couldn't be any happier!  Can't wait to have my house full of boys even though I know I will be a busy mom!  BTW, last week I had my doctors appointment and I am at 22 pounds that I've gained so far.  I still have a little less than 3 months and they say you average about 4-5 lbs a month so it looks like I'm right under gaining the 50 lbs that I did with Hunter...keep your fingers crossed!


Here are some outtakes that my friend here at work took of me.  Almost 28 weeks pregnant.

You look so cute! Love the outtakes!

I loved being pregnant too, so hopefully when it's my turn to be pregnant again I have another easy pregnancy!
