How would you describe being pregnant?

FTM here so it's been a growing experience (pun intended) through these few months, you know with the morning sickness, cravings, and having to pee every half hour. It's been a blast! I've just recently started to show to the point where officially my pants are too uncomfortable and I can't hide the belly (17 weeks! Go me!) So my husband asked me last night, while I was starting into the mirror poking around at my stomach, what it felt like?

I had to think for a minute because that's an interesting question to answer. The best thing I could come up with was that it felt like someone took a water balloon, shoved it up there and started filling it up every few weeks... as crude as that image was... I feel like that about sums up how I've felt the last few weeks.

How about you ladies?
