Pregnancy...the good and the bad

This is me, one day last week, at 26 weeks and 3 days preggo. Pregnancy is a fascinating nine month journey and this time around has been different in many ways than the first time around, but also similar in a lot of ways as well. I think I preferred it the first time around when I really didn't know what was ahead. Ignorance is bliss, so they say...

Here are a couple of lists of some of my favorite and some of my least favorite things about this temporary state of being.

Things that are well, unpleasant:
1. The all-day sickness that lasted until 16 weeks.
2. The ordeal that is, every time I roll over at night.
3. The horrible teenage-like skin that has emerged all over my face and body.

Things that make the unpleasant worth it:
1. Feeling kicks, punches and somersaults inside from little "E"
2. Back rubs every night from the hubby.
3. The anticipation and excitement of meeting and seeing her for the first time in a few months

I mean, there is a real live person growing inside of me...so so crazy...
