The top 10 things about being pregnant:

1. Maternity pants!! These are the best invention ever! Especially the secret fit belly kind. I seriously love them and I wish I could continue wearing them forever!!

2. Hearing the heartbeat. Whether it’s the very first time or you’ve heard it a million times before, it’s truly amazing. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

3. People touching my belly! I know, maybe I’m weird. A lot of people don’t like this. But as long it’s not a stranger who comes up and touches me without permission, I absolutely love it! So come on everybody, touch my belly!!!

4. Looking at (and buying!) all the cute, little pink clothes! I’m sure blue clothes are just as much fun, too!! Everything is just so darn cute! How could you not buy it!!

5. The fact that you are gaining lots of weight and it’s not only ok, it’s expected!

6. This goes with the last one…..eating dessert almost every night and not being judged!

7. Sleeping/resting for most of the 9+ months you are pregnant and people encouraging you to do it even more. I love to sleep, bring it on!!

8. All the anticipation and knowing how much things are going to change. I am so ready to be a Mom!

9. Feeling her move. It is so magical. Every little flutter or huge kick is the most amazing feeling in the world, even if it hurts!! I love knowing that she’s in there moving around and growing. I’m making a human being, what’s your super power? LOL!

10. Knowing that no matter how hard or easy the 40 weeks were, it will all be worth it in the end. I can not wait to hold her for the very first time and know what honest to God true unconditional love is.

The nursery is finally ready for Lauren! It took us quite some time to get there, though! Victor is so amazing!! He did all the work by himself! He is going to be such a great Daddy!! I did all the crafty stuff which was a lot of fun!! Everything came out perfect and I really think Lauren will love her room!!
