S/O: What do you miss about life before twins/kids

Temp6313048411121614

Of course we all love our children and wouldn't trade them for the world, but what do you miss about life pre-baby (or pre-pg for you pg ladies)?  I miss doing what I want when I want and not having to worry about how naps fit in, babysitters, if it's baby-friendly, etc.

Sleeping in and taking naps!

Relaxing vacations, sitting through an entire meal, watching what I want on the tv, running quick errands, peeing without a little one barging into the bathroom, listening to the songs I like while driving, waking up when I want to on the weekends...

 I wouldn't trade my DS (and the next 2) for the world!

i miss lazy saturdays with DH when we have no plans and are too tired to go anywhere- and just lay around the couch and watch TV and nap and eat all day

i miss being able to run errands any day i needed to - and without having to deal with carseats 3x's for each errand (now i mostly do errands on days i work b/c of this!)

I miss being able to take showers without planning them out. I also miss grocery shopping with my husband. We used to do it together, but now one of us stays home with the twins and the other ones takes B to the store. I miss having a free hand, being able to eat a meal on time and without holding a baby, and having any type of free time. But, I love them and wouldn't change a thing.

Sex, lol. I have been really uncomfortable thus far in the pregnancy, so we haven't gotten it on since we conceived. I'm a horrible wife!

I miss rough housing with my dogs, gardening, shopping till I drop, getting all sexified ( we were at the grocery store last night me = yoga pants, sweatshirt and crocs and this girl walked by in stilettos and I told DH someone should tell her how dumb she looks- and he said "yeah, you always kept those in the bedroom and that's how we got here.")  Needless to say I've become a little cynical!

The two things I miss most right now: Sleep... I haven't had a good night sleep since starting IVF last May (almost a year!). Going out with DH to shop or whatever. One of us usually stays home with the kids or he is working.

It's ok though... they make it all worth while and I know eventually we will get those things back

Spontaneity. I miss just grabbing a bag and leave the house to go on a date with DH.

Sleep.  And exercising/running - I used to do both all of the time.  Not exercising has definitely been affecting my mood lately.  But I just found a new 30 minute workout that I did twice this weekend and felt great.  FOr my body and my spirit.  (I posted about it a minute a go)
