Anyway, this post is for me. It's something I want to reread when I am in the middle of the, "holy cow, will this ever get any better?" stage. You see, while I am truly thankful that I have easy pregnancies, that I am even able to get pregnant when so many of my friends are desperate for a baby, I am a terrible pregnant woman. I don't get that glow. I don't love every part. I do enjoy some things like when you feel your baby move for the first time but at this point when he's banging on my ribs wanting out, it's hard to remember. I've decided that I may need a reminder of some things I was looking forward to when I was in these last days to get me through the first few weeks. So here it is- my top ten list.
10. Be able to wear a belt. Maternity pants just don't want to stay up on me. I am constantly pulling my pants up. It's annoying.
9. Stop snoring. I promise, I only snore when I'm pregnant, especially at this last stage. I hate waking up alone because my husband has fled to the spare room.
8. Be able to get up off the floor without holding onto something to hoist myself up. With a preschooler, this has made playing with her hard.
7. Be able to pick up Addyson without worrying about hurting the baby. Be able to put her in my lap again.
6. Stop having to pee three or four times a night. Of course, I will be getting up three to four times for a different reason...
5. Be able to sleep on my stomach or my back. I am usually a side sleeper but now that I'm forced to sleep that way I find myself wanting to sleep in any other position.
4. Eat a HUGE greek salad from Apollo Flame with tons of feta cheese on it.
3. Be able to see the veins in my feet again- haven't seen them on a regular basis for about a month now...
2. Be able to wear my wedding rings again.
And last...
1. See Micah's sweet face and count his fingers and toes. I hope he looks like his daddy!
