What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?

Regarding the whole pets and newborns debate—people were breathing down my neck to get rid of my cat while I was still in the hospital. 😢 When I told them absolutely not, they pivoted to, "Well, fine, just make sure you give him to your relatives once the baby arrives." Again, I said no. I wasn't about to hand over a family member just because I hadn't seen how they’d bond yet. 🤣 Once we finally got home from the hospital, we let the little one sniff the cat to introduce them, and that was really the extent of it. 😁 Then one day, I’m frantically searching the house for the cat like a total lunatic, only to find him curled up right next to her in the playpen, tucked under her feet and watching over her. 😍
As for the immunity thing, my little one is 15 months old now and has only caught a cold once—just a minor thing where we had to swing by the pediatrician. Everyone is constantly shocked at how she isn't more prone to getting sick.
