My Story continued...

Although my fiance made it clear that he didn't want kids, at least not anytime soon, he has adapted to the pregnancy, and is more excited then I had ever expected. I was afraid he would be a little disappointed when we found out she is a girl, I think every man dreams of having a son lol. He didn't show any disappointment, and very quickly began referring to our baby as his little princess.

I am in shock that my pregnancy is almost over, and that these months have passed by so quickly! I was warned by many that I would be miserable, and pregnancy was 9 months of suffering. I beg to differ! I have loved every second, every wiggle and kick, and even the swelling and discomfort of a breech baby who has her head buried in my rib cage! All of the minor things that most people blow out of proportion are nothin compared to the thought of being able to hold my little girl in a few months. I love being pregnant, I love my belly, and I love the 30 pounds I have gained so far. I have no regrets, and as long as my little girl and I are healthy, I will take it all in and enjoy every second.

I was always an average girl, not super skinny, but not overweight. I was a little thick when I got pregnant, and I have made it my goal to not stress on the weight I gain. Although I makes jokes to my fiance and my family, I actually don't mind the extra weight. I also don't mind the idea of having to work it all off once the baby comes. I look forward to our strolls around the neighborhood, walking a baby has got to be easier then walking my 70 pound pit bull! I see other women who are super tiny and are 6-7 months pregnant, and it makes me love my bump even more. I started showing somewhat early, especially for a first pregnancy, and I thought I was weird at first. I know everyone is different, but it felt strange to go against all the "rules" of What to Expect and other pregnancy books and sites. I embraced my bump though, and I love it! I don't even care about the couple of stretch marks that have shown up on my tummy, haha especially since I can't see them!!
