Pregnancy pros & cons thus far...

I'm 17 weeks as I write this...just starting my 5th month.

Pros:

• Watching my bump grow. I still have a hard time believing that pregnancy is happening to me.


• People are nicer to me. People at work are always asking how I am and holding doors for me. Someone even offered to heat up my lunch for me! Awww! That would never happen before haha.


• Big boobs and curves. Yup.


• Reaching milestones and getting to share the news: ultrasound pics, gender, first kicks, etc.


• First kicks. OMG I thought it was gas for three days but realized, nope it's him!


• Making a registry is fun! I learned a lot about cool new products I had no idea existed.


• Maternity pants.


• Planning the nursery makes me giddy as hell.


• Making baby-related DIYs (when I have the energy and patience).


• The time is really flying, though I'm sure it will slow down when I'm feeling like a house and super uncomfortable.


• Wondering who he'll look like/act like/be like.

Cons:

• The nastiness of morning sickness things: nausea, gagging, fatigue, puking, sweating, headaches, etc.


• Puking without warning. My stomach never hurts, it just happens (only three times though).


• Shortness of breath because my organs are being squished.


• No more belly sleeping.


• Discovering new pregnancy symptoms that no one told you about. No further comment.


• Worrying about every little cramp, zap, and pain I feel. I'm more nervous than enjoying it.


• Worrying about all the prenatal tests/anticipating bad test results.


• Knowing too much of what could go wrong because of going through IVF.


• Sometimes I REALLY just want a beer and under cooked scallops and a hot bath. And all at once.


• I cry easily/I cry if I'm hungry and don't want any of the food we have/I cry if I'm tired. I basically feel like I'm on the verge of tears over nothing a lot.


• My appetite is super finicky/I change my mind multiple times a day on what I want for dinner.


• Having to drink so much damn water. I'm in the bathroom 30 times a day.


• Any questions I have, I can never find THE answer. There's always contradicting answers. Frustrating.
