Pregnancy Pros and Cons

Hand in hand with that last post, I've been compiling a list of my thoughts on my pregnancies themselves. Here's what I've come up with so far.

Top 10 Things about being pregnant that I am NOT fond of:
1. The migraine headaches during the first trimester.
2. The constant fatigue.
3. Evil hemorrhoids of doom.
4. My first-ever yeast infection.
5. Sciatic pain all down my right side.
6. Trying to roll over in bed, and getting trapped on my back like a beetle.
7. The forgetfulness/absentmindedness.
8. Breast shrinkage, especially when I was so looking forward to swelling to porn-star dimensions.
9. The facial swelling/blotchiness.
10. Crampy Braxton Hicks contractions.

Top 10 Things about being pregnant that I LOVE:
1. Feeling the baby kick and move.
2. No morning sickness.
3. No stretch marks.
4. Increased love between Todd and me.
5. Repeatedly stroking my belly without being thought strange.
6. Guilt-free breakfast on Fast Sunday.
7. Growing a miracle.
8. Munching all the time.
9. The smiles and kind comments from strangers.
10. Fun maternity clothes.

I'm sure there are many more things that could fit into both categories, but these are the ones that immediately sprang to my poor forgetful mind.
