I was just sooooooooo exhausted. Amusingly, I was somewhat disappointed when she came out--I went into labor about 4 hours after I officially started my maternity leave. I was so tired, I was looking forward to MAYBE? at least ONE DAY of rest before she came. Did NOT happen--bless her heart!<br /><br />I love to hear how much you love being pregnant!CAQuincyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821192974215349171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-26907500944227910592011-01-20T11:45:06.994-07:002011-01-20T11:45:06.994-07:00*EYEROLL*

I'm so glad your experience has been so wonderful, and I only hope to have similar experiences when I start growing people!<br /><br />Thinking of you lots these days!Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153149217472000710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-39732411925947472882011-01-19T11:28:24.130-07:002011-01-19T11:28:24.130-07:00Oh man, my first pregnancy was SO like this.

I went overdue and didn't even care that much until I really did care and wanted to have the damn baby. hehe<br />but, i loved being pregnant and through each pregnancy there was a lot of good, but I did enjoy each one a bit less. (probably due to having little kids to take care of instead of gestating in peace.)<br /><br />I'm so glad you've had a good pregnancy! :)d e v a nhttp://www.all-d.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-28150645906642433712011-01-19T10:45:25.404-07:002011-01-19T10:45:25.404-07:00Hooray for a lovely pregnancy.

I was a bit skeeved out by the idea I was growing a baby inside me ... and even now when I look at Gavin, it sort of freaks me out that he was inside me a few short months ago. And up until Gavin's early arrival, I had a relatively easy pregnancy, too. It's not like I was laden with a bunch of health issues or scares. Anyway, I think it's great you've loved being pregnant and will look forward to going through this again!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-17017601252397457672011-01-19T09:23:19.690-07:002011-01-19T09:23:19.690-07:00What I love about your blog is much you appreciate...What I love about your blog is much you appreciate things!Melospizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967972017593146047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-23815559481421622222011-01-19T09:20:05.409-07:002011-01-19T09:20:05.409-07:00I never got to my due date, but I was actually a t...I never got to my due date, but I was actually a teensy bit annoyed the baby came early.

And yes, speaking of things we "learn" from sitcoms about pregnancy and birth, my husband was definitely a believer that the SECOND a woman's water broke and/or contractions began, she went to the hospital. This explains why, upon learning that his sister (who had a girl on Saturday!) began labor at 9pm and didn't go to the hospital until 2am, he was completely dumbfounded. It may be time to pull out the pre-pregnancy books for that one...

And I LOVE newborns. Sure, you'll be tired, but you simply cannot ruin a newborn. All you have to do is feed them when they're hungry, hold them as much as you want, and change their diaper when needed. You don't have to worry about their sleep schedule or any "habits"... it's just cuddle time, all the time. <br /><br />Oh, and have I told you about The Happiest Baby on the Block? The DVD, not the book. I never recommend the DVD over the book, except in this case, but I'm telling you GET IT: buy it, check the library, WHATEVER. This is #1, hands down, the best book for parents of new babies. I didn't use it until my third baby and it was STILL amazingly helpful....<br /><br />I am so stinking excited for you!Marie Greenhttp://lifeintinytown.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-41200840119152485812011-01-19T07:22:23.856-07:002011-01-19T07:22:23.856-07:00I loved being pregnant too.
