Yay for wintertime pregnancies

My list of reasons why it's great to have a fall/winter/chilly weather pregnancy.

Getting to indulge at all the holiday parties!
Not having to worry about shopping for or wearing a maternity bathing suit.
Not worrying about shaving my legs after I've gotten so large as to be unable to reach them.
Not having to buy maternity shorts - they just look so unattractive.
The hot flashes are easier to take when you can cool down just by stepping outside.
When the baby arrives, the weather will start turning nice again. I think the nicer weather and the time change will make it a little easier to go about losing baby weight.

Some negatives about wintertime pregnancies.

Missing out on adorable summery dresses and tops.
My shoes stopped fitting a few months ago - it would have been nice to switch to sandals but it was too cold. Thank goodness for my easy on/easy off/easy on the bunions/easy on the wallet Crocs!

Amen to all of these! The shoe thing was an especially sore point for me because I really, really hate shopping for shoes. I spent a lot more time than is reasonable wearing flip-flops.

Yah, sounds like you lucked out in the timing department. Also. He'll be one of the older kids in his class:)

Ha ha - I felt that being pregnant in the summer was good for the things you mentioned - namely, I LIVED in flip-flops and summer dresses. But, I do think that the colder weather in Nov-Jan served as a deterrent to getting out. And yeah, I bought a maternity bathing suit - I wore it once. But you won't be pg much longer!!!
