Things I'm grateful for during this pregnancy...

I'll be term tomorrow (37 weeks!) and, so that I don't sit down and cry because of the amount of pain I'm in or panic (because hello, impending labour!), I thought I'd make a list of things that I'm actually grateful for because of this pregnancy.

*Well, obviously, I'm finally realizing my dream of starting a family.

*No periods! Oh man, I'm not looking forward to the monthly flow of the red river when this is all said and done.

*After spending most of my life having minor-ish but persistent body image issues, I've never appreciated my body more or been so happy to look like a beluga whale in clothing. It just feels so good to finally feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm hoping this new, healthier positive body image continues after delivery!

*I didn't think it was possible, but I think my husband and I have become even closer and more connected. It's such a wonderful feeling.

*As far as my dogs are concerned, I have finally become the alpha pack member. Take that, hubby!

So, what are you grateful for this pregnancy?
