What I love about being pregnant!

I only have about 2 1/2 months left until Eli comes. Sometimes it feels like it is dragging, but I know that soon enough it will all be over, and I will miss being pregnant. I don't know if I will get the opportunity to be pregnant again or if this is a one time thing. So, I wanted to write down the things that I love about being pregnant so that I never forget them.

I Love...
  • Feeling Eli move
  • Watching my belly move
  • Wearing maternity clothes
  • Having people ask when I'm due and what I'm having
  • When Blaine kisses my belly and lays his head on my belly
  • That Tyson thinks my belly is HOT!
  • Looking in the miror at my belly
  • Maternity Garments (So comfy!!)
  • Having ultrasounds done
  • Wondering if Eli will look like me or Tyson
  • Hearing Eli's heartbeat

I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has given me this opportunity! I will treasure this experience for forever; just like I treasure our adoption experience. Heavenly Father's hand is in every aspect of our lives. He knows us and loves us. He has a plan for each of us. If we will let him be in charge, our lives will turn out better than we could imagine.

  1. I love this post, Jen! I have to say, I've never "loved" being pregnant. I personally hate seeing myself in the mirror, wearing maternity clothes, and I'm not a fan of maternity G's either, but you also listed some really great things about pregnancy! I'm glad you are enjoying it so much! I am so happy for you and excited for Eli to come!
