Top 6 GOOD things about being preggers

As I head into a long weekend of being the designated driver at loads of Thanksgiving events, I thought I better go through the GOOD things about being pregnant. Just a little morale booster! So, here is my top 6:

6. Since getting pregnant, Reuter no longer smacks my ass as hard as he possibly can. This means no more handprints on my rump!

5. No litterbox duties. Pregnant women aren't supposed to be around cat poo. So, Lee has the complete litterbox duties for the next 6 months. Awesome!

4. My long fingernails! I normally have super brittle fingernails that never grow. But now, they are growing longer than they EVER have before! It is awesome!

3. Weight gain is ok? A few weeks ago, I went to the doctor and she said I had gained two lbs. Then she said "I would have liked to have seen you gain a little more." SWEET! I feel like I've been eating constantly, so this is pretty awesome.

2. Maternity pants. I haven't had to start wearing maternity clothes yet, but I have bought a few pairs for that day I wake up and none of my pants fit! After trying these on, I am wondering: Why haven't I been wearing these ALWAYS? They are awesome. Elastic waistbands are awesome. So stretchy, but they look like real pants. It's like business casual sweat pants!

1. Of course, knowing that in 6 months we'll have a baby! Had to add one sappy one here at the end to let you know I haven't forgotten the #1 reason we're doing all of this!

my fingernails always used to crack prepreggers...and even now, 17 months after popping the pup out, they are STILL strong and awesome.
