Things I will miss:
- Feeling the baby kick. Probably the best part of pregnancy ever.
- Being just a twosome with my Husband. Life will never be the same once baby makes three, and I have enjoyed every minute of being a pair.
- The anticipation of what our son will be like. The past nine months have been a delightful guessing game of hair color, personality and characteristics. I'm sure that once we meet our boy, we won't be able to fathom him any other way, so it's fun to imagine now.
- The comfy clothes. I know that soon the big shirts and yoga pants will no longer be acceptable to leave the house in.
- Feeling no guilt about eating two brown sugar and cinnamon pop tarts for breakfast. Yum.
Things I will not miss:
- Going to the bathroom every 20 minutes.
- Swelling up. Everywhere. Sure, you expect your hands and feet to swell, but what about your gums and your earlobes? Ouch.
- Having to sleep on my side. And having to alternate sides often because my legs fall asleep.
- Heart burn. Oh, the bane of my existence.
- The comfy clothes. I am so excited to start exercising and getting my shape back so that I feel confident in things other than big shirts and yoga pants.
- Contractions, fake and real. I've been having fake ones since week 20, and real ones since week 35. Over it.
- People telling me their birthing horror stories and how much their babies weighed. I have heard more tales of 13 pound babies in the past three weeks than most people hear in a lifetime.
