Tell me all the positives about trying to enjoy the next 6 months - cause I am having a hard time with that

I joke to my sisters that to me pregnancy is like a ticket to the bakery!!!!!!

Being pg is so much fun. You look cute, you get to wear cute maternity clothes. Everyone around you is in awe of the miracle going on inside of you, and a little bit jealous that it isn't them.   You get to feel the baby moving around inside of you (or you will soon anyways  ) Oh and of course, you don't have to deal with tampons or birth control. 
Danalana replied: Since I have no experience, i will agree with the other ladies. But one thing I thought would be amazing is to feel that life inside you, just moving around. But like I said, no real experience. I could be wrong 
moped replied:
Right - that part is sort of fun except when it keeps you up all night long!
boyohboyohboy replied: you get an excuse to go shopping and buy new clothes...
and I was thinking the time might go faster if you take on a project, how about the nursery or redoing your little boys room?
he is the big brother now!
or wash and rewash and fold baby clothes and bedding !!
lovemy2 replied: I think you are already having fun and just don't know it - you are taking all the liberties you can with the hormone excuse 
Besides that though - I think once the baby starts moving and you really and I mean really besides that little tiny bump you have start looking pregnant then it is kinda fun - in between the aches and pains...I know for me I knew it would be my last pregnancy so I enjoyed every minute of it in between the misery...and believe me - pregnancy is NOT my favorite state of being - in fact I hated it but for the fact that I knew the end result would make my world complete
Keep your eye on the prize dear and it will go by quickly....
Of course then the baby comes and you are up at all hours, and it cries alot and is colicky and spits up all over you and you are sleep deprived and have no time to eat and your other child becomes a whiney mess....oh sorry - didn't mean to vent all that
Face it though - did you ever ever think in your whole life you could ever love something as much as you do your children???? It is an awe striking feeling in my book....
MyBabeMaddie replied: Although it only happened a couple of time sex was a million times better when pregnant! haha
lisar replied: You get a baby at the end of all of it!!!!
You get to go shopping all the time for whatever you want cause you can.
You get to buy baby stuff, baby clothes all those cute little things.
And You get a baby at the end!!!!
moped replied:
Ok that made me cry a bit - no I never have loved anything so much in my life - it amazes me everyday how much love I can feel. How do I love another the same?
lovemy2 replied:
I had many panic attacks about this very same thing - how could I EVER possibly share the love I have for Olivia but you know what when that second one comes - it just gets better you find even more love in your heart that you didn't think could possibly be there - I feel now like my heart is going to burst everytime I look at the two of them....
