Top Ten

I thought I'd make a list of things that have surprised me the most about being pregnant so far...enjoy!

1. How much advice you get once people know you're expecting...99% of which is welcome.
   
2. How much I long for a baby bump...and not just a tummy that looks like I ate a little too much over the holidays.
   
3. How overwhelming the thought that there's a BABY inside of me...wow.
4. How terrified I am of labor...and how willing I am to consider doing it without medication.
5. How absolutely exhausted I am...seriously, the word "fatigue" takes on a whole new meaning when pregnant.
   
6. What a blessing it is to have close friends who have been through pregnancy recently...not only for the benefits of their experience but also for the benefits of their maternity wardrobe :)
   
7. How incredible a tiny heartbeat sounds...best sound in the world.
   
8. How easy it is to worry...and how much there is to worry about.
   
9. How being pregnant has a way of completely taking over your whole body...bodily functions included (enough said).
   
10. How much I appreciate the husband I have...minus the whole tendency-to-pass-out thing ;)
