Up’s and Down’s of Pregnancy

Up’s:

Seeing your hand for the very first time

The second flutter, realizing what the first really was

Feeling the first kick on your 20 week anniversary

Feeling you kick after I eat something sweet

Picking out a new wardrobe

Picking out the fabric for your room

Finally having a clear picture of the complete nursery

Talking to you in bed while you kick away

Counting down the days until you meet your dad

Down’s:

Watching these pink lines show up all over my body

Not being able to sleep in any position

Watching and waiting until the feet start to grow and swell

Picking out a new wardrobe and packing the old one away

Dealing with the surge of hormones, crying every day about something pointless

Not being able to lift over 20 pounds

Being sore after a light afternoon walk

Ha I love it! So true.. You forgot to mention the frequent burning sensation in you chest and throat. And soon the aching back.... We love you babies, and would do anything for you....

Cort I love you!

That's so sweet, it brought me a tear. My precious little niece is so lucky to have you for a Mommy.
