Ups & Downs



Here are the pics. you all requested. Hope you are satisfied. I took them with my computer so they are not perfect. I am now 25 weeks & 5 days. I'll take more with the real camera soon.

Thought I'd share the ups & downs of being pregnant & if you are a male reader you might want to stop now cause it just might not interest you. First the downs:

Downs:

1. Gaining weight

2. Not being able to move very fast.

3. Sleepy all the time.

4. Not being able to sleep at night cause I have to pee at least 2 times during the night.

5. I like the maternity clothes but wish I could fit in my normal clothes.

6. Not being able to walk. (I waddle)

7. Oh, how I could do without the headaches. (no fun)

8. Not being able to eat Ravioli ever again & I love Ravioli but even the thought of it right now makes me want to puke.

9. I'm not too hip with the swollen feet & hands. :(  (flip flops should not leave  marks on my feet)

10. Peeing  ALL  the time. ( I know where every restroom is in Oceanside & Carlsbad)

I think that about covers it for the downs.

Now for the ups:

1. Eating whatever I want when I want & saying it's cause the baby wants it.

2. Shopping for baby clothes & necessities. I love it.. way too many cute things out there. I want it all.

3. I love when I feel the baby move. It's a feeling that is indescribable.

4. Knowing that soon I will be able to hold my little baby in my arms!

5. Eating junk food & lots of chocolate.

6. Okay so maybe the downs out did the ups but you have to admit the ups are pretty good. 

Basically, the downs may outnumber the ups, but the ups definitely outweigh the downs.

So there you have it. I do enjoy being pregnant, although I think I'm done I want this little bugger out. I want my pre-baby body back.  Meanwhile I will enjoy eating chocolate, pray my headaches go away with the swelling & just enjoy it I guess.

Oh how cute that tummy is!!! You look fantastic! Isn't it funny all the things we love and hate about being prego. And we do it to ourselves more than once??!! Hope the "downs" don't stay around too long so you can enjoy your last couple months.

No heartburn? Loved the "ups" list- especially the eating whatever, "it's for the baby" part! I so miss that- but that's it! You look great!

I Loved your up's list, eating chocolate or what ever I want and having a reason.

Heartburn was the worst when I was expecting my boy's. With my girls I just could not keep anything downt he first 4 months.

You look great!
