Loving it?

[karenjk12]

Ok, we've all talked about our ahces and pains and complications. But are you guys loving the pregnancy thing as much as I am? Don't get me wrong, it's not the most fun thing I've done in my life but it's the whole big picture that I'm loving so much.

I was horrified about the thought of being pregnant and what would happen to me, to my hubby, to our lives and of course to my body. (I have a bit of an anxiety issue). But now that I've gone through it and I'm in the home stretch I am thankful every single day that I get to experience this in my lifetime.

We've finished our nursery, which has been a total blast to me! I notice my hubby more and more talking about the three of us, rather then the two of us. There are just so many little things that I see changing and happening everyday that make this such an awesome time in life even if I am achy and hormonal.

And at times I get so involved in work or whatever I'm doing and then my little girl starts her boxing practice and it's like a reminder of it all.

11.5 weeks to go! Soaking it up!

Yes!!! I am loving being pregnant. It's hard physically and emotionally but when Dustin starts moving, I can't help but just be amazed.

My hubby and I are so excited to meet this new life, it's always about when Dustin's here and how are we going to do this and that. We're going to start the nursery this weekend (wanted to wait until after the shower) and I can't wait.

I'm loving it, too. I'm still terrified at moments but overall I feel peaceful and fulfilled and hopeful. Nothing else really matters as long as the babies are OK. I love carrying them around with me everywhere, talking to them, planning all the things I'll get to share with them and teach them. I'm a different person. I was so unhappy, downright depressed and desperate, after years of wanting children and not having them (first trying to convince my husband, then a long TTC period, then mcs...). I looked away or cried and felt bitter and jealous and full of longing when I saw children or pregnant women in the street. I remember I bit my lip so hard it bled to keep from sobbing when my parents called to tell me my SIL and sister were both pregnant and hated myself for being jealous of my own family! This has changed everything. I feel like myself again. I am enjoying life and my marriage is much happier.

Ok, so last night I was laying on the couch and just watching my tummy move from all of the kicking/punching Dustin was doing. It's so amazing! I really love this part of pregnancy.

My husband had his arms wrapped around me (no small feat, but he has long arms) the other day and we were talking about our plans for the kids and how smart and beautiful they will be and how much we'll love them, when both babies suddenly got active and gave a few huge stomach-warping kicks. I didn't react because they do it all the time these days. But he freaked out and said, "What on earth was that? Didn't you FEEL that? Oh my gosh! They kicked me! Hard! I thought babies were small and weak but these are monsters!" He looked at me in horror and totally didn't understand how I could handle this for a minute, let alone 24 hours a day. It made me laugh so much. I'm reassured by feeling them kick and knowing how strong they're becoming.

HI all! I have been signed up here since the beginning but I only saw the forums today. Started a new thread then moved it over here when I found it.
My name is Jena
My husband and I are expecting a son.
I have only seen him once 3 days before christmas at 19 1/2 weeks so I am looking forward to seeing him again next tues. the 16th
No names settled on yet, we affectionately call him Baby Monkey. Cause he is always climbing up the walls.

I love being pregnant.

All the weird, and exciting things that are happening to my body and this house. Oh my Goodness! My son looks like half a basketball stuffed inside my shirt. His recent 'fun' activity is playing with my naval. I swear he is playing tug of war or something. I am {not sure the word} about the fact that he is still extremely active on the entire front side of my belly. I am 31 weeks now and have been told he should be upside down and rear facing soon. Other than that he wakes me up in the morning and tells me when breakfast is due. Every once in awhile, I get to celebrate beating him awake and getting to wish him good morning with his first stretches. We dance around together, well I dance around singing and craddling my tummy. Then there is Naptime- *awe; I have written sonnets. There is nothing finer than having the bed all to myself for an hour or so. I don't like the sore pelvic region, but I usually take that as a que to sit down, put my feet up awhile, and have a cup of hot tea. At night he says hello to daddy by jutting an elbow or a foot outward and leaving it there awhile, then sliding it across my belly. It makes me giggle when he does that. I may be projecting, but at the moment he seems to have a lot of our personality traits.

With careful prodding from our mothers I finished our Baby registry and check the site oh say about every 1-2 hours. Refreshing the page then pout when nothing is gone yet. I give Pavlov's dog a run for his money every time I hear a big truck roll through the neighborhood. I look out the window, then run (waddle) to the door and dance around giving the Fed EX guy a big grin. I swear sometimes he just drives through just to tease me. My husband got to witness it the other day and couldn't stop laughing. He teases that he won't get to do anything for the nursury because I open and put together whatever arrives before he usually gets home. I am waiting for the 'nesting' to settle into full swing so I can tackle the storage closet. I have been waiting the whole pregnancy for that one.
