Throughout this pregnancy I have tried to do my best to not read too much! I understand a first time mom should be up to date with the latest information on all things baby, but I also wanted to stay sane. Like my husband has said, "this journey has aged us all." I have stayed on point with babycenter.com, my easy one stop shop for late night worries. I read through the blogs, never making a peep, but these ladies have been my sounding board. The latest entry I thoroughly got a kick out of. They played a little game of "list things that you are excited to do after baby is born." Up until this point, I really haven't thought of all the little things that I missed about "just being me." Last night while lying in bed, looking at the clock reading 3:30am, listening to my husband snoring & trying not to focus on being the most uncomfortable I have EVER been in my life, I pondered about little things I miss. Here is my list:
- Being able to shave my legs without attempting acrobatics.
- Wearing my favorite pair of black skinny jeans/leather jacket.
- Heels!!!
- Feeling sexy!
- Eating sushi.
- Being able to hug/cuddle my husband.
- Not having strangers question my every move.
- Not complaining ( I feel like this is ALL I do anymore!)
- Margarita's while eating my TexMex.
- Running (I don't mean exercising, just being able to move fast)
Not that big of a list. I have to say, the third trimester has been my absolute favorite!!! I feel like myself: mind, spirit & mental health. The physical me is suffering a little, but Hey! In 7 weeks I am going to be a mommy. Of the most exciting part of not being pregnant is HAVING THE BABY! I never knew I could be so in love with someone I have never even met before.
On another note: After my work day today, I have 5 days off. Thank you baby Jesus. I am ecstatic, my new nephew/niece will be here on Monday. I can't wait to hold a baby, its been too long.
