There is much about pregnancy that I am so over. I cannot wait to
be done! But hey - I am almost there. I mean clearly there is a reason
pregnancy only lasts 9 months.
Of the many many things I miss about life
being non-preggo, I thought I'd list a few of them. You don't know what
you have till it's gone! I have been having contractions now for almost
two weeks. Every day, almost every hour. I am literally writing this list
to pass the time.
I'm 38 weeks today. GET THIS BABY OUT OF
ME.
Yoga - Oh man, I miss how spry I normally feel
in my yoga body. After a great hot yoga session. I normally do yoga a few times
a week when not pregnant.
Alcohol. - Let's face it: need a strong drink. No,
not wine. A long island iced tea is in order as soon as I can get out somewhere
after I birth this huge watermelon taking up my stomach.
Normal bodily movement - Just turning over in bed without that
being a whole huge process. Bending to pick things up without pain,
etc.
Comfortable Cuddling. I want to sit my 6 yr old on my
lap and cuddle him. He is very intense, very needy. He needs that kind of
affection I think. Except my lap is taken up by a beach-ball sized belly
currently.
Putting my feet up while the kids play, enjoying loooots of contractions currently. Are they here to stay??? Please God let this be labor! |
Less physical pain in general - No more migraines!!!! Here is hoping.
And not doing my super weird "I'm constantly pregnant every 2 years"
mom-walk ....which is a well-developed hybrid of a waddle/limp - because this
sciatic pain is no joke.
Yes! Baby #3 is 2 weeks old. Being able to roll over in bed is wonderful �� and have a drink!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is so great to hear! I know it's my 4th but I swear I forgot what 'normal body feels like.
