What Do You Miss These Days??

sws684 · June 2014

I just thought it'd be cathartic to say "out loud," if you will, what you're missing post baby!! Ready, set, go!
For me:
-hubby time!!
-sleeping (duh, I know)
-feeling sexy/not chubby (tough)
-when "out&about" was simple
-hot, steamy, drunken sex
-non-bleeding vagina (enough already!)
-NOT pumping! >:|

lrmrtn · June 2014

-obviously sleep
-being able to run a quick errand without planning for it
-my life not revolving around BFing/pumping
-sleeping on my stomach
-my boobs not hurting and not leaking

krlovell · June 2014

I miss alone time with my 2 & 1/2 yr old. Every time DH takes dd she cries and DS says go get her mommy daddy makes her mad! Sweet but miss time just the two of us.

Miss time with the hubs

I miss not needing to analyze everything I eat or drink now that I'm nursing again

I miss not having to plan what I am going to wear 3 days in advance as 7 weeks pp none of my clothes fit

Most of all I miss my sanity!! Every little thing drives me crazy!! I know I'm type a and anal-retentive about most things. But I'm not exaggerating by saying everything gets on my nerves!

sws684 · June 2014

I second the friends thing.. I haven't hung with a friend / friends in over a year!!!

manna1212 · June 2014

Sleep!!

Being able to leave the house at a moments notice.

Not being tied down with breast feeding.

MarieF2 · June 2014

I miss time with Husband and a hot meal! LO is always fussy and needing something from me right as I start eat.

THIS. Plus alcohol. I've made a lot of alcohol related comments lately. I don't have a problem, I swear.

alyssajanell5 · June 2014

-not having to plan everything around breastfeeding
-my face not having a hormonal breakout
-unplanned outings with my husband

yepyepsms · June 2014

Sleep
Silence
My hubby
Quality time with my two year old
A back that doesn't ache
My job
Enjoying meals
More caffeine (I have some but limit for BFing)
A clean house
Working out
Ice cream (dairy free for BF)
Napping during two year olds naps

I better stop now at the risk of appearing to hate my life:)

tbiscuit18 · June 2014

Pretty much everything everyone else has already said, but I really miss DH. Our relationship has really changed - at first better, now not as much talking and more fighting or general crabbiness towards each other. I'm sure this will get better though.

Oh and I miss my dog. She's getting the shaft and doing a great job of moping and making me feel like crap about it. I miss her snuggles at bedtime too.

Freedom

momo214 · June 2014

A clean house. A full night of sleep. The structure of being at work. Being able to cook a full meal not just a quick one pot dish. Browsing at the grocery store. Time with my pets. Non leaking boobs. My tops actually fitting bc my boobs were smaller. More than one glass of wine. Nipples that aren't disgusting looking. Basically just my old boobs.

gutsysneakers · June 2014

ladywolf1313 · June 2014

- Taco bell. My go to comfort food, can't even eat it now it makes me so sick -sigh-

- Husband

- Sex, I'm cleared but its like my drive is gone.

- My dogs, they really have taken to the back burner but they are very understanding. They are always giving LO kisses.

- Oh OH OH I miss my Pre-pregnancy weight.

haylo33 · June 2014

1. Being able to leave the house without 100 things
2. Waking up 15 minutes before I need to leave
3. Sleep!

jenb_99 · June 2014

One-on-one time with DS.
Boobs that don't ache or leak.
Sleeping naked.
Naps.
Quick trips out.
Being pregnant.
Disposable income.

danagmauro · June 2014

A trip out of the house without having to worry about how hubby is doing with our diva.

Alcohol, dairy, broccoli (bf)

Sleeping 8 hours straight

Having 2 eyebrows

Smelling good

Working

Smoking the occasional cigarette ( don't judge)

Sam0905 · June 2014

Booze, sex, evenings with the husband where we would just chill on the couch and watch shitty tv, liking my cats (we have 2 and it seems like everything they do is so IRRITATING), not having mommy guilt.

*my body.... Everything has changed

*just being able to walk out the door
*loving my dog again... ( she's being a pain in the ass)

My dog was my baby before my actual baby. I never thought I would say it, but now she can be so annoying. I have 0 patience with her and DH is worse. I can tell she isn't as happy so I feel pretty terrible about it

Katzalia · June 2014

Can I just say it's nice to see other mamas feeling the same way? Reduces the guilt I feel at missing things from pre-baby life. My list:

Sleep, of course.
Spending time with my husband.
Being interested in sex.
Going out for dinner without hours of planning.
Actually eating dinner when it's ready (DD seems to time her most massive poo of the day to the moment I sit down to eat).
Talking to friends (nevermind actually seeing them).
Work (I love my job and am really good at it. It's a huge part of my identity, so it feels weird to not be on that role now).
Not having to think about pumping, pain, bleeding, sore nips, backache etc.
Leisure time, period. Sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and a friend or a cup of coffee and a book.

lavendergiraffes · June 2014

Pooping without wanting to scream... ....cause, hemmeroids!

sws684 · June 2014

I 3rd the pain in the ass dog thing! She has been nothing short of AMAZING! But I STILL struggle mustering up patience with her! I feel like such a shit! But damn she gets under my feet all the time & wants to play at the least opportune times!!!! Urgh

LeeLee86 · June 2014

I miss:
-feeling attractive
-ballet class
-being alone
-road trips
-cooking
-hair, nail and body maintenance

But this too shall pass ladies. You're all amazing!!

ns1 · June 2014

Time with DH. Time with DD. Time for myself. Sleep longer than two hours at a time. Hell, right now sleep at all.

Junebug060609 · June 2014

Sleep, of course

One on one time with my DS. Big time.

It not being a production to get our family out the door. Its a damn space shuttle launch.

Having time for our dog.

Junebug060609 · June 2014

Have to add one: I miss my hair not falling out. The post-pregnancy shedding has begun!

QOTR · June 2014

Like everyone else: sleep, quality time with DH (I miss the simplicity of watching a movie end to end!), but I think most of all I miss going bra and panty free! Although, I think I'm almost to the point where I no longer need a pantyliner.

fussybunch · June 2014

I really only miss feeling decent about my body. The chub is getting to me...

deanna1313 · June 2014

Maybe getting this list out will make me feel better. I've been struggling with the things I miss.

I miss my husband and our relationship before the baby.

Cooking dinner(a real dinner)

Doing anything alone

Sleeping a full night

Waking up and taking my time in the morning

Getting through one meal without the baby crying or holding him through it.

Not breastfeeding

Using a pocketbook

momthatlifts · June 2014

All of the above except smoking

I could've written this.
