Pregnancy: a List

What I love:

• watching the baby do gymnastics inside my tummy
• feeling the baby move, like, all the friggin' time
• knowing that very soon, we two will be three (rather four- mama, papa and two dogs- will be five)

What I am not so thrilled with:

• my stomach, from my belly button to my nether regions, looking like a cat sharpened its claws on me
• six months of "morning" sickness
• to be replaced by three months of heartburn ( you mean you didn't want to see that pizza again when you bent over the sink to spit out your toothpaste?)
• managing to sleep four or five hours a night, tops, before waking up to cramps in my hips that feel like my femurs are dislocated from my pelvis (wldn't it be funny if it said it felt like my lemurs were being dislocated? just a thought)
  
• not being able to get back to sleep
• being hungry every other minute, but not finding food appetizing- unless a diet consisting of croissants and chunky ice cream shakes counts?
