We're only one month away from Baby's due date, so I thought it would be fun to take stock of this whole pregnancy experience to date...
Things I will miss about being pregnant
1. Being able to wear empire-waist shirts/dresses without worrying that people will think I look pregnant.
2. Being told how great I look all the time.
3. Learning to trust my body.
4. Feeling small. (Counter-intuitive, I know. But since my belly is so big now, it makes the rest of my gangly long limbs seem almost small-ish.)
5. Being encouraged by Mike to eat Oreos and ice cream every night. :)
6. Not worrying about whether my stomach looks like it's sticking out.
7. Feeling Baby kick.
Things I am looking forward to when longer pregnant
1. Finally getting to meet Baby!!!
2. DIET COKE (without the guilt)
3. Not having heartburn all day long. And at night.
4. Sleeping in the same bed as my husband. (I use so many pillows to prop myself up at night that Mike has been sleeping in the other room for the past 15 weeks or so.)
5. Having more energy (e.g., not getting out of breath when walking 10 feet).
6. Being able to bend at the waist and to reach my toes.
7. Not burping all the time. (It's so gross!)
Anything else I'm missing on either list?
