11 Reasons Why I Wish I Could Be Pregnant Forever

1. The ever present anticipation and excitement of new life is incredible and beautiful!
2. I enjoy getting random smiles from strangers and having a built in conversational ice breaker with just about anyone!
3. Having people think I am adorable even when I wear a two piece bathing suit and make absolutely no effort to suck in my tummy is lovely!
4. Feeling my little one roll, kick, squirm and grow inside of me is one of the most indescribable and amazing sensations in the world!
5. Maternity clothes are way more comfy than regular clothes!
6. I love the bonding time with Adam as he interacts with the baby.
7. Having a little person I love so much inside my body makes me want to make better healthier choices for the both of us.
8. I am learning SO MUCH cool stuff. I mean, this whole process is kind of ridiculously cool!
9. I can take my baby out with me with little to no preparation, I don't have to worry that they will get fussy and I definitely won't lose them at the mall!
10. I have these few months to dream, hope and pray for this baby without any limitation. Everything is new and possible.
11. Being entrusted with the task of carrying life is an honour that I try to never take for granted. 

11 Reasons Why I am thankful I Won't Be

1. Looking at a glass of water and having to judge how much I can drink based on the estimated time it will turn into the crushing need to pee and the location of the nearest bathroom is annoying to say the least.
2.  It will be nice to actually have to climb a mountain to reach the state of out of breathness that currently only requires a trip up the stairs.
3. My chest region has long since past the point of pleasantly voluptuous and is now simply large and incredibly inconvenient. (Yes I realize this will stick around for breast feeding too, but its kind of the same package)
4. The sudden hormone surges that make me feel like I need to check myself into a mental clinic can be anywhere from awkward to downright frightening.  
5. I miss being able to sleep. (Again, I know this won't change after the baby, but at least then I will be getting up for a reason rather than just lying in bed wishing I could sleep, but being too restless to actually do so.)
6. Getting out of bed, shaving my legs, putting on my pants, all things that are getting increasingly difficult.
7. Having to think about everything I ingest in terms of how it will affect the baby is tiresome. I look forward to being able to drink coffee, eat a tuna sandwich, and have my eggs with a soft yolk again!
8. While this time of rest has been a wonderful blessing and I know I will look back on it at times and wish I could be here again, I also get really bored and can't wait to have this little one out so I have something to put my time and energy into!
9. Constipation... Need I say more?
10. I have a lot of baby stuff and nothing to do with it :p
11. I've said this before, but right now it feels as though my baby and I are in a strange paradoxical relationship where they are the closest they will ever be to me and yet, at the same time they are the most out of reach. I want to see them, interact with them, and really get to know them!
