Fifteen reasons pregnancy is rather fantastic

.... (and it sure makes the morning sickness, fatigue, sciatica and waddling worth it!)


1.  You can get away with eating "for two"
2.  Your partner is obliged to give foot and shoulder rubs upon request
3.  When baby kicks, punches or rolls it makes you giggle
4.  For nine months, there's two sets of lungs and two beating hearts inside you
5.  You've got a little buddy that you can chat with (best you leave that for alone time though)
6.  Everyone showers you in attention
7.  Each ultrasound is gratifying, exciting and beautiful
8.  You can enjoy getting a bit fat
9.  You can buy loads of cute baby clothes and justify it with the fact that they're not for you
10. You get to take more time off work
11. Soon you won't have to work at all
12. Your hair and skin is Vogue-worthy
13. You can eat cheeseburgers at 3am (after partner has graciously slunk through McDonald's drive-thru)
14. There's a huge sense of pride in knowing that you're growing a healthy baby
15. Becoming a mother is by far, the biggest and most amazing achievement of your life
