...of being pregnant!
Extreme hip pain at night
Leg cramps that wake you up in the worst way possible
Waking up every time you move because it's so stinkin' uncomfortable to turn
No sleep
People telling you how miserable you look (gee, thanks!)
Worries about if your baby is still breech
Not fitting into any of your clothes (even maternity!)
Needing new shoes that slip on b/c you can't bend over to tie anymore
Did I mention lack of sleep???
Spending all your planning time at work prepping for your maternity leave rather than grading the piles of papers cluttering up your desk
Stretch marks
Waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom
Swelling
But there are wonderful things as well...
Feeling your daughter move around inside you
Seeing her move around inside you
Hiccups
Ultrasounds that give you a peek inside the mysterious wonders of pregnancy
Not feeling guilty about eating that donut at church every Sunday
Dreaming about what she will look like
Thinking about the joys she will bring to your family
Knowing that this is the only time in your life when gaining weight is acceptable
Anticipation of her arrival into the world
The list may be shorter, but it definitely outweighs the first :-)
