Things you wont take for granted anymore...

in 3rd Trimester

I want to know some thing you use to take for granted before you were pregnant that now you will not anymore. Here are a few of mine

1) Putting on and tying my shoes with ease. I now need to pull over a chair to prop my foot up, and even then it isn't easy.

2) Not waking up to go to the bathroom. Sometimes I wake up over 6 times.

3) Getting comfortable in bed. Sometimes I toss and turn (which can be a challenge itself) for hours trying to get comfortable.

OK now it is your turn...

    Dropping something and being able to bend over and pick it up without mapping out a complex series of logistics first.

    Eating whatever I want.

    Drinking whatever I want.

    Sleeping on my stomach.

    Sexy time with DH.

    Choosing an outfit from a closet full of clothes.

    Sleeping through the night.  :-/  (I'm sure I won't enjoy this one for years!)

    1) Water - I am CONSTANTLY dehydrated.

    2) Bath mats - they really DO serve a purpose. We have never had one, and I've been fine. I fell 3 times in the shower in the past 2 weeks. Ugh!

    Oh I have another one. I will be very happy when I can sneeze without having to "brace" myself first so I don't sniss myself. I hate it when I sneeze without expecting it!

    Wiping without navigating around a big belly (I think I got a UTI from not wiping right). Doing things for myself such as putting on & tying my shoes, putting on socks, and bending over to pick things up without grunting and huffing and puffing. Sleeping on my stomach...I miss that so much! Eating whatever I want without having indigestion and heartburn.

    1.) Jeans that zip and button

    2.) Shaving my legs and grooming and not wondering if I got everything

    3.) Putting on socks and shoes and wearing which ever shoes I want

    4.) Being able to take whatever OTC medication I want for colds/headaches, etc.

    5.) Not pulling a back muscle trying to wipe after I pee.

    All of the above. I really could not have put it better. 

     Also walking normally. I do miss that.

    See I get confused with the whole lightning crotch thing. I have had a lot of pains...but none in my crotch. I guess I should be happy about this... :-)
