What to (really) Expect When You're Expecting

  • A gravitational pull towards all things sweet (and salty. Sometimes even in the same sitting)
  • Heartburn, 'round the clock
  • Tight clothes, which leads to...
  • Stretchy waistbands. And yoga pants.
  • A loss of lady-like posture
  • An incessant need for perfect strangers to touch your belly (yes, this happened)
  • Hair. Everywhere. 
  • All day naps. Can I get an amen?

On the contrary, there are so many beautiful things that accompany the bad:

  • A new unexplainable closeness with your husband
  • Endless support from, well, just about everyone- which usually comes with...
  • Endless snacks provided by those who are convinced I must "eat for two"

And best of all,

  • The anticipation of meeting the precious being that WE created! God is so good.
