Silver Lining

I wrote a few weeks ago about pregnancy symptoms I would be just fine without. As it becomes more difficult to find a comfortable position in which to sleep and sit and be, I want to focus on a few things that I really like about being pregnant.

1. My hair. Usually it's very fine. Right now? Much thicker than usual. I got it cut last night by a friend that had cut it last July (and yes, that was my last haircut) and she commented that it was thicker than she remembered. Excellent.
2. Nesting. I mentioned on Monday that I gave in to my urge to nest on my birthday. I believe that nesting is a truly inspired part of pregnancy. We moved when I was eight months along with Cooper and I'm convinced that the nesting instinct is what got our apartment clean. Very clean. All-walls-scrubbed clean. And though I'm pretty darn tired a lot of the time, my house is still pretty clean. I'm enjoying it while it lasts. If memory serves, once the baby gets here, all of those awesome nesting desires will disappear.
3. I'm cute. No really, as vain as it sounds to put into words, I am a very cute pregnant lady. Seriously. Maybe I just bought the right maternity clothes, who knows? But really, I rock the pregnant look.

On the days when I'm extra tired (yesterday), it helps to look at the positive aspects of being pregnant. Plus, the whole baby at the end is pretty nice too.
