My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for almost a year. I think he enjoyed that whole part of it, but that’s going in a whole different direction than I plan on going with this. You see, now that I am 7 months into this adventure, I consider myself an expert on the pros and cons of being knocked up.
Let’s start with some of the pros. I am glowing. I have never felt so alive. My skin and hair are perfect! And aside from the physical stuff there is also all of the excitement and anticipation. Decorating the baby’s room has been so much fun. My mom said we ruined the surprise by finding out that it was a baby girl ahead of time, but I disagree. I was still surprised when the doctor told us what it was going to be!
But there are some down sides to this whole pregnancy thing too. For one thing, I am fat. I am as big as a freaking house. And even though I have been using cocoa butter religiously, I am getting stretch marks. And just thinking about that is getting me cranky because I have been as moody as all get out. It’s a mixed blessing, but the pros far outweigh the cons.
