- Feeling her kick. There is no feeling like that in the world. I love to watch my belly jump when she's really moving around in there.
- Everyone's care and concern over how I'm feeling, if I'm doing too much, if I need anything.
- Rubbing my belly. All the time. Everywhere.
- Day dreaming about what she'll look like, what it'll be like to hold her, etc.
- The camaraderie I feel with other mothers as they share their pregnancy experiences with me.
- Having an excuse to poke my stomach out.
- Hearing her heartbeat on the monitor at the doctor's office.
And of course there are some things that I WON'T miss:
- Tossing and turning at night. Not to mention getting up to use the bathroom AT LEAST 4 times per night.
- People not even speaking to me, but bending down and speaking directly to my stomach...AWKWARD!
- Fear of labor (at least once it's over, I'll know what it feels like instead of constantly dreading the unknown).
- Pricking my fingers (praying that I won't have to do this anymore after delivery a.k.a. diabetes goes away).
- INDIGESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the whole hair thing is correct, this child will have an AFRO!
In all seriousness, I've been blessed with a really great pregnancy and I thank God for that. I'm almost sad that it's coming to an end....almost ;-)

I agree with you about feeling a baby move in your belly. Although sometimes I have gas and I think is that the baby but then I remember I'm not pregnant.
