I Actually Enjoyed Being Pregnant with My Son

My pregnancy was a complete accident, but a pleasant one. I was kind of in shock at first, because we had not been trying to have a baby at the time. I was so shocked that I took 3 pregnancy tests and had the doctor tell me so before I really believed it. I was so excited though. I love children and could not wait to be a mom - and was shopping for maternitywear soon after hearing the big news. I had a pretty pleasant pregnancy. I had a few weeks of feeling nauseous in the mornings, but I never actually got sick. The best day of was the first time that I felt my son move. That little flutter. It really makes you realize that there is something living inside you. I really wanted to have a little girl so that I could dress her up in all of the cute little frilly dresses. At 4 months, I had to have an ultrasound, because I was measuring so big. They asked if I wanted to know the sex of the baby. I couldn't decide, but I finally said yes only to be a little disappointed-a boy. At first I was disappointed, but the ultrasound was so neat seeing a picture of him. The idea of a boy soon grew on me and now, after seeing the moodiness of some of my friends' girls, I wouldn't trade for a girl for anything. I never felt bad being pregnant. I ate very healthy and I walked 3 miles per day. I only gained 13 pounds and had a 9lb 2oz bouncing baby boy. Many women don't like being pregnant, but I actually enjoyed the time of being pregnant. Don't let other people's opinions influence you. Make up your own mind about how you feel during pregnancy. I had so many people tell me how awful being pregnant was, so that was what I had come to expect, but to my surprise-I actually enjoyed my pregnancy.
