Best thing about being pregnant

ourturnnext · Mar 15th, 2012, 11:30 AM

While the first trimester is horrendously nerve-wracking and frought with worry, lets be honest - it's also an incredibly exciting time. So, lets share our positive experiences of early pregnancy!

I've loved:

* eating cake and not feeling guilty - the baby has demanded it!

* gradually growing out of most of my trousers. Goodbye waistbands!
* my husband stroking, hugging and talking to my tummy whenever he can and generally being lovely and looking after me
* lovely soft skin

* handing over the job of cleaning cat litter my hubby

* the truly amazing feeling of undescribable joy when you see the second line come up on the first test you get BFP
* the even more undescribable joy at seeing my little one's heartbeat for the first time at eight weeks

Hah, the cat litter... we have an automatic cat litter, so it's a simple tray that needs to be removed every 3 weeks. I wear a mask and gloves and I still do it, as I feel I am nowehere near in contact with the litter. But yes, if I had a regular litter box, hubby would be the owner now.

Making people happy. Our baby has been a long awaited and hoped for baby for us, but also a first grandchild for both sets of parents, and a first niece / nephew for all our siblings. Seeing how happy our family and friends have been has been absolutely incredible!
