Things I love

Being pregnant has been an amazing experience so far. Here are a few of my thoughts on what I love about carrying our first child:

Having a little secret
Staring in wonder as my stomach rolls around from a little bean inside of me
Watching little body parts stick out
Being able to hold my belly
Laughing as the baby moves when we touch my stomach
Daydreaming about what the baby looks like
Knowing there are two hearts beating inside of me
Emotionally preparing for motherhood
Experiencing a new intimacy with my husband
Watching my stomach get rounder
Knowing that even on a terrible day there is something incredible happening that always makes you happy
Watching my belly button pop out
Singing and knowing the little one is listening
Having a little shelf to rest my hands on
Keeping track of how our baby is growing~constantly learning new things
Knowing that a miracle is happening right inside of me
Having a reason to look for baby clothes
Feeling like my body is made for something special
Having strangers show kindness
Feeling the baby move when I change positions
Creating first time memories with all three of us
Watching the tot move when she hears music
Looking at ultrasound pictures
Discussing parenthood with my love
Feeling the baby kick first thing in the morning
Knowing I am carrying something that will change my life
