my secret joy of being pregnant

besides the obvious joy of creative a new life with the person i love, something i never considered before i met my husband - being indoctrinated from early childhood to eschew making babies in lieu of a successful career (wanting to have children was too conventional of a goal, so 1950's), there are a lot of changes that occur that women can justifiably complain about.
morning sickness, bloating, nausea, breast tenderness, incontinence, headaches, exhaustion, skin pigmentation changes, etc. the list is endless. before i had even confirmed my pregnancy with an over the counter test, i was feeling nauseous, and knew something was up. as the weeks progressed, my nausea was almost constant, and made me dread the thought of having to prepare dinner, but once i started eating i was fine. my sense of smell went into overdrive, and everything was offending it, and my breasts were swelling & tender, but after the first trimester was on the wane, i was feeling more energetic and back to my old self again.
this is when i discovered for the first time in my life, the joys of being a C cup and also that my butt was filling out. now this is probably not a happy prospect if you are already well endowed in either or both areas, but for me, who has always been between an A/B cup and has a naturally flat butt, i am in heaven with my new voluptuous (or voluptuous compared to my normal state) figure. and especially before i started to show, i was fully enjoying feeling more feminine and curvy in all the right places. and don't think that my husband hasn't noticed ; ) being pregnant is great!
now i've never complained about my slight figure, and being blessed with a high metabolism and healthy eating habits in the latter part of my life, i have been able to stay thin up until now after my metabolism slowed down. but in the age of breast implants and even brazilian butt implants, airbrushing, gel bras, and cleavage revealing clothing, i've always felt a bit inadequate.
but now i am reveling in my new pregnant figure, and my only worry is that i know it will all end and my bubble will burst after the breastfeeding is over. But my husband told me not to worry, because we are planning on trying for a 2nd child ; )
