Currently, Jeff and I are anticipating that there will be no more babies produced from the Barr-Brown Marriage Alliance. As a result, I have been trying to think of the things I will and will not miss about being pregnant, in order to fully appreciate the experience before it's over for good.
Things I Will Not Miss:
- Wearing the above red pregnancy coat
- Panicking every time I feel a sneeze coming on
- The nighttime heartburn that dictates sleeping sitting up
- Not being able to drink
- Having to watch every little thing I eat or else gain ten pounds in a week
- Feeling conspicuous out in public because of my huge gut
- Baby feet in my ribs
- Breathing like a fat guy
- The general, all-over bodily discomfort
- Not being able to pick up Rowan and carry him
- Having an excuse to not have to pick up Rowan and carry him
- Feeling the baby squirming around inside
- Having people ask how I'm doing and having them be all sympathetic and stuff
- Using exhaustion/nausea/impending birth as an excuse to skip exercise
- The improved complexion and hair
- Rowan blowing raspberries on, laughing at, and patting my huge gut (although theoretically, my stomach could still be this size after I leave the hospital)
- The excitement and anticipation of creating a new person for our family
