Since the delivery of the newest addition to our family, I have been so enjoying NOT being pregnant. I decided to create a list of the 10 best things about having Porter on the outside instead of the inside:
1. I love that my reflux medication (I had reflux before becoming pregnant) now actually works!
2. I love that I don't have to go to the bathroom EVERY hour!
3. I am so grateful that the ligament pain is gone and therefore no longer walk as if I had ridden a horse for 10 hours.
4. I can now clip my toenails, pick up dropped toys, and shave my legs successfully! And I no longer bump my belly into EVERYTHING...you'd think I wouldn't forget that it's there, but somehow I did just that...daily.
5. I actually have the energy to walk around the block with my boys....and then walk some more...and more.
6. I love that I am not burning up ALL THE TIME! I love my covers at night and now I get to use them again. :-)
7. No more back pain!
8. My bladder, ribs, and hip bones are no longer a punching bag (or kicking bag).
9. People smell good again. My kids now smell good. And most importantly, David is back to smelling good too!
10. And best of all, I have a sweet, scrunchy, little bundle to cuddle with....who makes up for ALL the miseries of the last 9 months!
Oh how I am looking forward to all ten things...Just seven weeks to go!
ReplyDeleteWahoo! Thank you for that little reminder of how awful it is to be pregnant--it's amazing how fast you forget. I needed that :-) Enjoy falling in love with your new little bundle!
ReplyDeleteAmen sister! To all of it!
