The Joys of Pregnancy

With the nausea mostly subsided after just two short weeks, I've been thinking about the joys of pregnancy. Being pregnant and having children brings a new perspective to your life. You become even closer to your spouse. Negative thoughts and stress seem to dissipate, and your energy is redirected in a positive way to the little one growing inside you.

There are perks to being pregnant too. Here's just a short compelation. Feel free to add your own thoughts and experiences.
1. Jackson reminded me that I can now park in the closer parking spaces designated at stores for expectant mothers.
2. Most people are friendlier to pregnant women. My pregnant coworker said that irritable patients sing a different tune when they see the large weight she's carrying around.
3. It's the time in your life when people won't judge you for putting on weight.
4. You don't have to feel guilty for that dessert. You always have the excuse that it's a pregnancy craving.
5. Most importantly, you get the amazing privilege of growing a human. How cool is that?!
