Likes and Dislikes of pregnancy

I'll start with the negative
- Being sick the first two months. I didn't have it too bad and it still got old
- Crazy back aches. I don't know if anyone else had bad ones but I don't know if my back will ever stop hurting!
- Weird aches and pains. I was positive that I was having a gal bladder attack or something. I always have a side ache unless I am standing or holding my right arm above my head. After an ultrasound on my gal bladder we have come to the conclusion that all of my organs are already completely squished causing the discomfort.
- Slowly loosing your waistline. It's kind of fun but a little weird
- Being crazy. Just ask Nate!

On a more positive note....
- Feeling the baby kick! It is the coolest feeling ever! I wish Nate could always feel it like I do. The other night I think the kiddo had hiccups because I could see my whole stomach moving for like 5 minutes.
- Not having to worry too much about gaining weight. I know I should keep it at a minimum but I like the thought that I should be gaining weight right now!
- Getting the babies room ready! I love all the cute decorations and just dreaming about what it will look like!
- Everyone carrying stuff around for me at work! I feel like a princess!
- Knowing that I am helping in bringing one of Heavenly Fathers children to this earth! What a cool blessing.
- Watching my belly get bigger. Sounds weird but it is kind of cool!
- Getting ultrasounds. We just got a 4D Ultrasound last week and it was so cool! You could almost catch a glimpse of what the kiddo will look like!
- Seeing Nate get excited about cool activities to do with your son! He is always reading cool websites with fun dad and son activities!

There are a ton more cool things about being pregnant but I'll spare you! I can't wait to see this kid! We went to the doctor and got a target ultrasound where they look at everything and make sure all is well. So far baby is looking perfect. We can't wait until he is here.

Also please vote on my baby name poll. I am pretty set but Nate isn't sure so let's see what you guys all think! I know there is only two but we aren't very creative and I have been stuck on one name for forever so I haven't tried to find more!

Are your hips killing yet? I remember with my first pregnancy my hips aching sooo bad. Especially at night. I think it was the whole getting wider for the baby thing. Havent felt that ache yet, so maybe they just stayed wider after Austin who knows. Isnt it crazy how your insides can squish up so much but still somehow stay intact? Babies take up all the room, and its funny how we can still manage to stay together in there alright. Cool names. I stuck with your initial name find, but the other is cool as well. Hope all is well(:

I do NOT mished the whole squished organ and back/prelvis pain at ALL. Keep reminding me of the positives of being pregnant so that I will want to do it again. I am glad that everything is going well though and that the baby is healthy. And I agree with Barb - both names are good. I am glad I have friends who don't choose weirdo names.

Ah, I'm the opposite of Megan...I miss being preggers...but not enough to do it again quite yet. The body is a crazy thing...that all your organs and everything can get pushed up and around and still function. Coop had the hiccups ALL the time...it was fun at first...kind of goofy looking when it happened..hehe. I love the 4D ultrasounds! If you need any help let me know!

Hey Brynn...it's Cami (Grange) I found your blog on Tiff's and I thought I would leave you a comment. How exciting that you are having a baby! Congrats! I agree being sick when pregnant get's really old! My first pregnancy was a breeze but my second was really rough for me. Feeling the baby kick is so amazing! I remember hearing people complain about that and how annoying it was and I just don't understand that. I was always tryinig to bug my babies so they would kick more! It really is amazing. I'm glad to see things are going good for you!

Cute Brynny! This will be such a fun post to look back on for you guys. You guys are going to make great parents. I also like both names, but I will still cast a vote. I still need to come see that ultrasound :)

Brynn I loved reading your LIKES and DISLIKES. It brought some great memories back for me! I loved everything about being pregnant, and I am so excited for you and Nate to get to experience such an amazing gift. My favorite was the Labor and Delivery some people think I'm crazy but, it's truly such a Blessing bringing a baby into this world and having it be YOURS. Enjoy every minute of it, MINUS the aches and pains. Good Luck Friend!
