I love being pregnant?

Yesterday morning, Jasper and I were driving home from Costco.  We were talking about our plans for the day; put away groceries, have lunch with his parents, chores, etc.  As we were chatting I remember we were stopped at a stop light when little JP began to press and push pretty hard out.  Jasper reached over and met push with a playful press back, which began to make me feel like peeing.  :)

When Jasper was playing with little JP, I told him how often I feel him moving and shaking throughout my day at work.  What kind of made Jasper and me laugh was how i followed up my comment with, "This is my favorite part about being pregnant.  I just am constantly reminded he is there and I feel very close to him, and I know this something I am going to miss."

Jasper started to laugh.  I was not sure why at first, but he turned to me and recalled just a few months ago my firmly stating, "I don't want to do this [get pregnant] again!  You know with all the morning sickness and stuff.  How can other women do this more than once?"

I've heard that woment forget the woes of pregnancy 
once the baby is born.  And I know in my heart that it is worth it.  I think about the "morning sickness"  yeah right all day sickness and nausea (getting in car, in car, after car ride, brushing teeth, waking up, sleeping, thinking about the next car ride, standing up, sitting down... you name it I was most likely feeling pretty nauseous...) 1st trimester cramping, and 3rd trimester sleepless nights.

And now I'm stating that I love being pregnant, being able to feel the baby moving, kicking, hiccuping.  It amazes me how quickly time passes.  I am g
oing to cherish every last moment I have while pregnant.  I am sure I could feel so much more comfortable doing the normal tasks of life.  But I sometimes forget this is an answered prayer and most certainly a blessing from God.


Thank you again to all of my family and friends who have been very supportive.  Please feel free to leave any of your comments or questions for me.  

God bless you.
