Other things I'm gaining:
-more back/hip aches and pains. I'm not walking as quickly or as far as before (and if I do, there are consequences).
-swollen ankles and feet. Super sexy cankles, for sure. I did get a pedicure so at least the callouses and ragged nails aren't making them look worse and are no longer a danger to the public!
-insomnia. Between restless legs and charlie horses in my lower legs, sleeping at night is not so plentiful (which I hear is good for preparing for once the baby arrives).
-stuff. Everyday, there seems to be another box or envelope from the post or UPS. As helpful as these things are (or will be) it's intimidating gaining so much stuff. I guess it will pay off to stay organized.
-perspective. We went to our first birthing class in the beginning of the week and there was a woman there who was MISERABLE with her pregnancy. She has had every bad side-effect related to pregnancy and really had no positive things to share about it (and was clearly to tired to even try to pretend). Alas, as I'm hobbling around and borderline frustrated from lack of decent sleep, I've been thinking about her and happy with all the things I'm gaining.
