I Love watching my belly expand! My whole life (with the exception of one dark summer) I have always had a flat tummy. I'm not just talking skinny; but would look hot in a bikini, put super models to shame, type flat tummy. And now I find myself squealing with delight every morning when I look in the mirror and see the snails-pace expansion going on around my middle.
I Love feeling her move! Every time she kicks, wiggles, and practices somersaults inside my belly I get a big smile on my face. On Thanksgiving we went and saw the new James Bond movie and she was moving for the full two hours. Probably because that is a Very loud movie, but I enjoyed it even with the constant interruptions. She is very strong! I'm surprised at how well I can feel her this early. Matt is excited because I keep saying she has strong soccer legs.
I Love having boobs! I've always been rather lacking in this area, but its nice to feel more "blessed" even if its only for a little while.
I Love having an excuse! I can eat as much as I want, and no one says anything. I can take a nap in the afternoon, and no one says anything. I can cry at silly things, and no one says anything. I can be completely honest and blunt, and no one says anything. They just laugh and say how much they will miss the pregnant me.
I Love how every woman in the world has my back! When I started feeling sick at church, a lady in my ward handed me some crackers and told me to eat. When Matt and I were walking into work on a snowy day a lady I work with looked at Matt and said "Don't you dare let her fall!" I've had more offers for used cribs and other supplies than I can even keep track of.
I Love looking at cute girl outfits and little pink dresses at the store! I can actually look at baby things now and know I will be getting them soon.
I Love showers! I have always enjoyed going to baby showers and this weekend my roommates are throwing me my first one! (Its a joint shower with another roommate who is also pregnant and due in February) It will be very different being on the receiving end this time. I'm excited!

Enjoy every second of it! I always say that the pregnancy card trumps all other cards. Plain and simple.
Pregnancy is amazing isn't it? Enjoy all those sommersaults! That's the thing I miss the very most about being pregnant! See you Saturday!
Being pregnant and delivering a baby is impossible. It is all Heavenly hands making you a bit of a goddess for a whole 9 months. And you'll never be the same. It is the coolest thing ever!!! You will be closer to your maker. (expetually after she gets here) closer than you've ever dreamed of being. Your understanding of how He feels for you will change for the better.
Hey how did the shower go? I was going to ask about it this weekend, but I didn't get around to it...
