Did you miss being pregnant?

I miss it everyday!

Every.single.day.

Next to being a Mommy, being a pregnant woman was the best experience of my life.

I was truly very lucky to have an uncomplicated, full-term pregnancy with twins and I enjoyed it all.

I wonder if I enjoyed being pregnant more than a "fertile" because we tried so hard and went through so much to get to that point?

I love being a Mommy and having them here with us, but man, having those little ones inside me kicking and moving was just an amazing feeling.  Nobody will ever have that special bond with my LO's but me and I cherish those memories. 

I could have written this. I LOVED being pregnant and wait to do it again (hopefully).

This is what I feel it was for me.  I have a friend who complained about being PG, hated every moment of it (even though she didn't have a bad pregnancy), etc - and she got PG VERY quickly and easily.  She took a lot of it for granted, IMO.  I actually got annoyed being around her and listening to her gripe. 

All of this!  I had a difficult pregnancy, but I think I was just so amazed and grateful that I was actually pregnant that I didn't care.  Nausea, headaches, sciatica,  modified bed rest, a couple big scares... crappy.  But I made it through all of that and I was just so happy that I was getting to do this thing that I thought would never be possible for me.  I have very little patience for people who complain about their pregnancies.  I'd take it all in a second.

I was huge by the end, and I was ready to be done.  When I had her I was just so happy to actually have her that I didn't miss being pregnant at all.  It was an amazing experience that got me to an even more amazing experience.

I miss being pregnant a lot right now, but I would be 32 weeks this week if I hadn't miscarried.  I don't think I'd miss it if it wasn't what I thought I'd be doing right now, with another baby coming soon.
