The up-side of being pregnant!

I hear that after Levi's delivery I won't want to be pregnant for a long time.... however, I want to take this opportunity to document some of the amazing things about pregnancy that make me want to do it again very soon!
1. When you first see that extra line on the pregnancy test and your breath catches for just a second.
2. The look on your spouse's face when you tell him that there will be a new addition to the family.
3. The day you start feeling better after your first trimester and you realize what it was like to actually enjoy food
4. Feeling the first flutterings in your tummy and remembering that there is actually a human growing inside there.
5. Hearing the heartbeat for the first time and knowing things are developing normally.
6. Seeing that little body wiggle for the first time on the ultrasound screen.
7. Feeling the stronger movements inside as your baby grows.
and my most recent new found love....
8. Looking down and seeing my tummy move around on the outside because my cute little boy is so big now!

I'm sure there are more to come, but for now I am just so happy to be going through this experience! I can't wait to have little Levi come into the world and into my arms... YAY!

  2. There really is nothing like being pregnant. The benefits far exceed the sickness (for me!) I would get a tear in my eye every time I would hear the heartbeat...I'm sure my OB thought I was crazy!
