The Joys of Being Pregnant

While sitting awake this morning at 3am, I was trying to think of good things about being pregnant - it's getting harder these days.  I am 3 1/2 weeks away from my due date and am trying to stay positive (although Greg might think differently).  Here's my sleep-deprived list of the joys of being pregnant:

1.  My hair is thick and curly.  I normally have baby fine hair, so when I am pregnant, I really enjoy my hair.  I try not to think about the handfuls of hair I lose after the baby is born.
2.  My skin is really clear.  With Kate it wasn't, but when the baby is a boy, my skin looks great.  Again, I try  not to think about how it looks after the baby is born (think teenage boy).
3.  My behind looks small, but only because it's competing with my huge belly.
4.  I don't gain weight.  I know this is unusual, but for me, I really don't gain weight.  I'm up 2 lbs this pregnancy so far.  I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with my hormones finally doing what they should when I'm expecting and the rest of the time they are completely out of control.  Don't hate me too much, I gain all my weight after the baby is born!
5.  I don't have to shave my legs as often, which is great when you get horrible razor burn every time you shave.
6.  My family is wonderful.  Greg and Gavin are extra helpful.  Gavin asks almost every night, "Mom, what can I do for you so you can go to bed?"  Greg just does what needs to be done - dishes, laundry, the kids bedtime routine, etc.  They are incredible.  Enoch and Kate love to feel the baby move and help where they can.

I try not to complain too much because I know being pregnant is worth it.  However, I am starting to count down the days, hoping that I don't go over my due date and having funny dreams about labor.  I'm getting excited and nervous about this new little guy and am hoping that everything goes well.  And then, the real fun begins.
