Pregnancy: it's perks and downfalls.
I was thinking the other day about being pregnant, the things I miss and the things I CERTAINLY don't miss...
Here's a list...
I miss feeling him move around I miss the anticipation of seeing his face and body on an ultrasound I miss fantasizing about who he will look like I miss feeling him respond to my voice I miss the excitement of coming up to due date I miss talking about baby names I miss having Lexs hand on my belly waiting for him to move I miss seeing my belly grow... and grow... and grow... and grow! I miss looking at nursery things and planning how to make the perfect room I miss laying on my bed waiting for him to kick and getting excited when he did I miss being 'allowed' to look fat
I don't miss the needing to pee ALL THE TIME I don't miss the stress my body was under I don't miss the fluid retention I don't miss taking my bloods 3 times a day/injecting insulin I don't miss the back pain I don't miss being judged for some decisions I make and being stared at in public I don't miss having to squeeze into tight places I don't miss my clothes being too tight I don't miss being short of breath I don't miss my feet hurting after standing for more than 5 minutes I don't miss not being able to sleep I'll probably add to this list as I think of more... I like this list. It will be helpful when it's time to carry our second child. I can look at the 'things I miss' list when I am experiencing the 'things I don't miss' list!! What are some of the things you miss about being pregnant?
