Week 27: Five good things about being pregnant – Episodes V and VI

26 weeks, 5 days.

Ok, since I skipped it last week, here is a double dose of the “five good things about being pregnant” this week, also known as “ten good things about being pregnant”, because educated woman that I am, I can multiply, and not just in the “be fruitful” sense (Michelle Duggar I am not!!!! *cringe*):

1. Baby is back to disco-dancing in my belly, and his mama is sooo pleased…
2. Just over 13 weeks to go!
3. Getting to meet a bunch of other pregnant women tomorrow
4. People finally realizing that it is not nice to make me stand on the bus, which means Small Monster is obvious now…
5. Rare bouts of nausea are gone, including when brushing my teeth (I tell you, the gag reflex in pregnancy is absolutely awful when brushing teeth…)
6. Baby still likes it when Mama sings. I suspect this will end when he is about four and realizes Mama’s singing sucks…
7. Both baby and back love the prenatal yoga, even if it makes Mama need a nap
8. The co-sleeper bassinet and the associated mattress pad and sheets arrived today – the company even corrected the mistake in my order without fuss before they shipped (of course, they also corrected it without telling me, so I had to open the box before I knew…) – this means that almost everything we’ve ordered/arranged is here
9. I finally got the kangaroo carry right with the teddy bear and wrap and can do it pretty well now (the kangaroo carry is one of those that you can use from the time you bring the baby home)
10. No longer looking like a dork when I rub my belly in public, because it’s quite clear why I’m doing it!

That’s totally the last time I’m doing two of these at once, because coming up with five at a time is hard enough!
