For me these are things I could think of that mean a lot or just me being a little vain, lol:
1. I pray a lot already, but being pregnant just makes me draw closer to Jesus, cause let's face it what expecting mother shouldn't.
2. I love how special and important it makes me feel.
3. Getting spoiled by my husband that is to list a few: he will get whatever I am craving (if it is safe); does my toes if necessary, with both our boys he did my toe nails once I couldn't bend over; cooks something if I have a bout of nausea; tells me I am very beautiful everyday (when expecting it is important to know someone believes your beautiful); and much, much more!!!
4. Having an excuse to "need" a pedicure treat at a salon. :)
5. Love shopping, so being pregnant definitely gives you that excuse. (My favorite places to shop are: Saver's, Target, and Ross)
6. Being able to crave things and not seem like your just fat, lol. I know I am the least fat person, but if I was not a mutant I swear I would be fat!!
7. Gain weight and it totally be okay, because come on your growing another little person (even though I hardly gain weight, for once I am over 110 lbs.) and really all baby!!
8. I love that every time I have been expecting it helps motivate me and our family goals, nothing like little children keeping you on your toes! ;)
9. Love feeling baby movement, hearing their hearts beat, and seeing their little bodies in ultrasounds.
10. Last but not least, the privilege of carrying a little person is like a piece of heaven!! The honor you feel that the Lord entrusted you not only to carry the baby for 9 months, but care for them, is so immense. Yes, even when laboring them to be born. Its like the Lord gave us women that little suffering, which in perspective is a lot, lol, but when compared to the suffering He endured on the cross for us it is but a mere whip. I believe that is when we women know and understand how unconditionally one could love another human being no matter what they are or will become!! :) <3
