Taking a look back at what brought me the most rewarding thing in my life...
A long 9 months toward the birth of our little pride and joy.
It was a smooth pregnancy in medical terms...but I definitely felt high levels of discomfort and had my fair share of pregnancy pains.
Here is a look back at some pregnancy perks I posted on Facebook around the 7 month mark to take a light hearted attitude on what I was really feeling...
Pregnancy Perk #1: Food tastes so freakin good right now. Im currently having eaters remorse for what I just consumed at dinner because I just could not say no......
Pregnancy Perk #2: After stuffing your face with the food that tastes the best ever...you don't have to worry about sucking in your stomach because this large belly ain't going anywhere but bigger for awhile....
Pregnancy Perk #3: A legit excuse for buying new clothes because of the legit weight you have gained....
Pregnancy Perk #4: What other time in your life can you gain 30 plus pounds and have complete strangers stop and tell you how cute you look....
Pregnancy Perk #5: It is just not as fun drawing the faces of your future child on a nonpregnant belly....
Pregnancy Perk #6: You will never again have as good of an excuse to sleep in as long as you want....gotta do it while a girl can!
Pregnancy Perk #7: It is fun to discover the new ways your body can sweat... sense my sarcaism as I melt at Chris's ball game!
Pregnancy Perk #8: Between the oversized belly and the 5 pillows you have to sleep with...there is finally a chance at winning the battle of taking up all of your spouse's side of the bed...
Pregnancy Perk #9: Never again will it be so easy to feel like you are getting a hardcore work out. These days... just walking upstairs with the 30 plus lbs I'm sporting gets me out of breath and has my legs feeling like I just ran 5 miles...
Pregnancy Perk # 10: How cool is it to watch from the outside your child moving in your stomach. I get the most joy by imagining what position he is in and what exactly he is doing to cause all the movement. Sometimes I grab whatever is sticking out and think about what it will be like to get to play with him soon! Priceless childbearing moments!
Pregnancy Perk #11: "O hunny, I can't reach my toe nails to paint them so I am going to need pedicures from here on out! ;) "
Pregnancy Perk # 12: The urge to clean every nook and cranny in the house right now is a good thing due to the fact that in a few weeks I won't have time to sleep or eat...let alone think about house work....
Pregnancy Perk #13: When your pup needs a bath, but your belly is too big to lean over a tub...you have a legit reason to have a playmate in the bath with you! (don't judge)
Pregnancy Perk #14: There are not many chances in a person's life to celebrate something so special with SO MANY of your closest friends and family all at one time. Still so thankful to see everyone at my shower yesterday and all the great goodies Baby Nallstar got!
