Pregnancy top 10's. Awesome and the Ugly

OK so I think a good way to give an idea of my pregnancy is to give my top 10 good and bad things about me being pregnant.


Top 10 reasons I love being Preggo (not in any particular order of favorites)

  1. Being able to feel her kicking, doing summer saults and just flat out squirming made me feel like I was never alone. Especially cool when I could let someone feel or see the movements.
  2. Not feeling guilty for eating TWO breakfasts when we went out.
  3. There was a dramatic increase in my tips at the pub.
  4. It was a great reason to avoid men hitting on me at the pub (and despite the belly, they still did)
  5. My tea collection increased ten-fold.
  6. While working I always had people offer to carry heavy or even light items. And I rarely needed to change a keg!
  7.  Having an exscuse to stay in bed until noon or spend the day reading.  
  8. While most women would figuratively say they had nothing to wear, I literally had nothing to wear -- so I got to go shopping! Lots!
  9. Picking a name that is so important because you know it will be labeled to this being for the rest of their life!
  10. I had an actual reason to make sure I was healthier than I had ever been in my life.

Top 10 reasons I hated being pregnant!

  1. No coffee
  2. Not being able to test new beers or wines when we got new ones at the pub.
  3. Not being able to fit my regular clothes.
  4. Not being able to put on own my socks!
  5. Not being able to sleep on my back.
  6. Needing help just to get out of bed without pulling a muscle.
  7. Hearing the question "how are you feeling" every 10 minutes.
  8. Everyone and their extended relatives trying to offload their crap on you.
  9. Not being able to feel my ribs for 3 months.
  10. The final waiting game.. made worse by going overdue!
I am sure there were some decent things I left off those lists. If you are reading this, comment some of your favorite or most hated things about being pregnant!
