My list about what to love about being pregnant is a short one. I could go on and on about what I'll be glad about when it's over.
Agreed!!!!
Also agree w/ the pp about snoring so loudly that DH has to go to another room to sleep. I woke up this morning to find him sleeping on the couch in the living room. Oh well - only a couple more days left!
I?ll be glad to be able to climb a flight of stairs without getting out of breath. And I?ll be glad to NOT sound like Tony Soprano when I breathe. Seriously, I had no idea that I would be blowing my nose so much while pregnant. My lips are so chapped from the nighttime stuffiness/congestion.
I will miss the clear skin that I seem to have picked up from out of nowhere. I?m hoping it sticks around but I?m thinking it won?t. Pre-pregnancy I seemed to have at least one zit at all times with little bumps on my forehead. Now? Not a one, and my skin care regimen nowadays consists of using a bar of Dove soap & some moisturizer. That definitely didn?t fly pre-pregnancy.
To be able to do more around my house without feeling like my hips/pelvis are being punched.
Or, in general, just to be able to move without hurting so bad.
I should have read this before putting my last post... I have been craving a beer too. Especially through all the bowl games, and NFL playoff games... Ugh, it's hard to watch a football game without a cold one!!!
Mmm yes.
...when I don't have to rely on everyone else to do things for me, especially since they don't really do anything for me now. I still do everything, it's just 10x harder.
and:
..when I can have a beer. Or 5.
..when I can sleep, put my own shoes on, shave, and pick things up off the floor without difficulty.
ok I'm done.
1. Just to get out of bed and move around without being in pain. I'm about done with this whole SPD mess.
2. Have a beer!
3. Paint my toes (I managed a half-@$$ed attempted this weekend...but def will not be showing off my pedi to anyone lol.)
4. To be able to shave legs and lady bits!
5. That DF and I will no longer fight about the temp in the house...I've got hairy amazon legs, I am not wearing shorts so you can turn the thermostat up to 74 degrees because you are cold. Put on a sweatshirt and one(or many) of the 14,592 blankets we own.
6. To have baby girl in my arms! (but I think that's a given!)
First - don't "love" being pregnant. Hate it. Love the outcome, hate the process.
So my sentence would be "I think being pregnant has a great end result, and will be glad to: drink again!!!" (Totally selfish, but I want my body back!!)
to be able to crap again.
not to have heartburn anymore.
to be able to work out comfortably again.
to be able to snuggle DH in bed again.
not have to sleep propped up anymore.
I don't love being pregnant. I am 100% grateful for the ability to do it, I absolutely love feeling LO moving around and kicking in there, but I am really looking forward to getting my body back and having my inside baby become my outside baby.
Love being pregnant, but mostly for the fact that its a 9month vaca from the horrible excrutiating periods I normally experience!
But I will say I will be so overjoyed to:
~ Have a drink again. ~ Eat sushi (I am so wanting some too). ~ Spend a day at the Mall walking around with DD and playing at the park without getting sore and achey. ~ To be able to shave my legs & lady bits without cutting them or nicking anything. ~ To lift DD and give her a big hug & kiss without it straining me.
I also don't love pregnancy.
I am looking forward to: drinking (especially wine), being able to walk into a room without everyone staring at me, rolling over in bed without feeling excruciating hip pain and not going through pantiliners like crazy (though I know it'll get worse before it gets better.)
Looking forward to:
1. Eating carbs - I haven't been able to eat many because I was diagnosed with GD about a month ago. Now ads for ice cream/cookies/candy are like ads for crack.
2. Eating sushi
3. Being able to drink
4. Not having to get up 10 times to pee every night
5. Being able to put on my pants without having to brace myself against something so I don't topple over
6. Not having people constantly tell me how huge I am
7. Not being congested every night
8. Not having acne all over my back
9. Shaving properly
10. Getting back into at least some of my pre-pregnancy wardrobe
11. Hugging my DH without having my giant belly between us
12. Getting to know my LO!
This one annoys me too, but I just tell myself that we're giving LO a little snuggle whenever we hug.
I love being pregnant, but I will be glad to:
1. Drink a frozen Margarita, the virgin ones are not the same
2. Have my body back. We are planning a wedding for October and I want to be able to try on dresses, plus I am sick of lugging around the extra weight.
I know it will all be worth it in the end, but sometimes I get so fed up.
I love being pregnant...but I will be glad.....
1) To feel sexy during sex
2) To be free of this hip pain
3) See where I'm shaving
4) Put on my shoes without huffing and puffing and having LO kick me for bending over
