[more HEARTs | previous Manic Mondays ]
about pregnancy- When you´re newly pregnant you can enjoy the feeling of having a “secret” from the world.These first days are often very fun and special… thinking about the way to share the huge news with your family and friends.
- Listening to the little one´s heart beat! Round about the 12th week of pregnancy your midwife or doc will help you experience the joys of the first sounds of your baby´s heart beat - an unforgetable moment.
- The glow. Yes, you glow in a very special way- it´s the good kind. Even on the days you don´t feel it. The majority of women love to be pregnant.
- Having a huuuuuge, round belly! Take some great photos!!! Some women choose to take a picture every month wearing the same outfit to get a real picture of the changes. You can also visit a photo studio to get a professional shooting of you and your pregnancy belly. This picture of my belly was taken while I was pregnant with Luis:
- The ability of taking naps without an excuse in the middle of the day. Of course this is a benefit of the first pregnancy… once you have a toddler running around there is no rest for the weary *grin*
- The joy of ultrasound. It´s so exciting to watch your baby grow, see the development from a little bean to a tiny gummi bear and finally a baby. You´ll also get an answer to the “pink or blue”-question if you wish to:
- Playing games with the baby, like or “Kick your Daddy” or “Catch the Foot” - a great way to bond with baby before birth.
- The little moving baby is your little secret - no one else knows. You´ll never forget the (more or less) soft kicks. You can also do fetal kick counts to watch your baby´s cycles.
- Just two words: multiple orgasms! Most of the pregnant women find sex is really fantastic, sometimes better than ever before. Though it is not always great for the whole pregnancy. Be kind to yourself.
- Knowing that soon you´ll have a little one to cuddle and nurse. Nine months seem like a veeeery long time. Think about possible names for your little one, get infected by the “pregnancy shopping bug”, take a plaster clast of your belly…
… and before you know it your baby will be here. ♥
Happy Manic Monday, folks! ♥ Let your heart go out to a loved one =)

February 13th, 2008 at 8:27 amMy youngest baby will be 38 this year and I’m still struggling to believe it can possibly be true! It seems like yesterday that I was just 38…
February 13th, 2008 at 8:09 amBoy, our mother’s were right! Time does fly. Continue to capture every moment because it will be you someday speaking about your child being 38!
Love to you and yours…
~~~Blessings~~~
What a great list of wonderful things - some of them I even remember from why back when I was pregnant which was a long, long time ago.
Thank you for the memories and may you have the most wonderful pregnancy ever!
February 13th, 2008 at 2:45 amYou will be great at this. A mom who is loving and caring, is all that a child will need. (Oh & enjoy the GREAT sex.) And truly enjoy the experience. I have four and the youngest turned 22 in about four to six months. It flies! All the best…
