50 reasons to be glad you're pregnant

I picked only a few that I really feel proud of for being pregnant :-D

Choosing maternity clothes -- they've never been more practical or more sexy.

Now you've got the perfect excuse to pamper yourself -- spending hours in a scented bath, enjoying a massage or rubbing soothing lotions into your growing bump.

For once in your life you need to get heavier -- pregnancy is Nature's way of making you feel good about putting on weight.

...a great excuse to buy lots of pretty new bras.

Suddenly you'll find you're getting lots of extra attention from parents, aunts and uncles: not to mention your partner.

Suddenly you'll feel a new appreciation for your own mother and all she went through having you.

Choosing baby clothes -- or just phoning round for all the catalogues, leafing through them and planning what you're going to buy

Writing a pregnancy diary for your baby to read in the future.

Getting someone to take photos of you smiling over your enormous bump so that, one day, you can look back and be amazed you were ever that size.

Imagining what he or she will look like. Your sweet little ears, of course, and his sexy eyes!

Looking into your newborn's eyes and falling utterly in love.

Making all those phone calls to announce the arrival. Telling everyone the news and hearing the excitement in their voices.

Waking up to see your baby sleeping next to you and thinking, 'Wow! This is real. I'm a mum!'
