Baby on the Brain


So Kandice I'm copying your last post about likes and dislikes of being pregnant, so thanks it was fun to think of some of my own!
I love waking up each morning and checking my pregnancy app on my phone to see that I'm one day closer to my due date and reading the daily tips. I don't know why but this just makes me so happy! As does (and I know Leandra can relate to this one!) each Thursday when I start a new week in my pregnancy.
I hate that I'm 5 months and still only half way, I always forget to count the entire 9th month.
I love feeling my belly in the morning and thinking that it grew so much through the night without me constantly rubbing it.
I hate that none of my shirts fit like they should and I only have like 3 that I can wear. I'm sure people think I should try shopping sometime, but I really don't want to bring myself to buy maternity clothes that I'll only wear for 4 months, such a waste!
I love feeling my little girl kick, it almost makes my stomach feel sick sometimes when she kicks just right and I feel like I want to throw her up! Jk I would never do that!
I hate that my face thinks it is a 15 year old going through puberty and nothing I do seems to make it any better.
I love going to my ultra sounds and seeing proof that there is a baby inside of me and how much bigger she is each time I go.
I hate when I forget to take my vitamins and feel like I'm already failing at being a parent! It happens right?
I loved Cades face when he felt her kick for the first time the other day. Priceless!
I hate when I stress out about being prepared when I go into labor and having my bag perfectly packed and all of the babies things ready to go! I only have what? 4 months to get that taken care of and yet I still get anxiety thinking it won't be done.
I love that I can use the "I'm pregnant" card whenever I am super moody and irritable and Cade can't argue with me about it.
I hate that I can't wear cute summer clothes and pick out cute swimming suits!
I love how much joy she has already brought me and she isn't even born yet!
I do hate looking at the cup half empty and thinking really, I'm only half way? I should think, yes! I'm halfway!
I love checking babysteals.com every morning at 9am just to make sure I'm not missing out on anything. Thanks to my sister-in-law Tara for getting me hooked on that site, it's definitely addicting!!
I hate when once in a blue moon Cade is moody. I don't think he should be entitled to any moody days while I'm pregnant, only me.
I love the fruit and veggie comparisons that all the books and websites refer to my little baby, which by the way she is a banana or a butternut squash now! Exciting I know!
But overall the good definitely outweighs the bad and I actually love being pregnant so far it has been a great experience! I can't wait for her to be here and can't wait to be a mom!
PS Can I be counted in Mother's Day this year? Ha ha only joking, but kinda not...:)
