I have my own business, and it's just me running the show. I miss being able to go out and sell without wondering if people are wondering about if I will be able to finish my jobs once the baby arrives. Or wondering if I am pregnant or not, I don't really tell a lot of people in business that I am pregnant, but the weight is a little clue. It's only going to get worse. I feel very self conscious about my pregnancy in relation to my business.
I miss my cocktails! I love making my margaritas and mojitos this time of year! Everybody's answer is "well just make them with the liquor." I don't think that'd work! I also miss my lunch meat. I finally caved and bought some Boar's Head and nuked it before I made my sandwhich yesterday. I also miss sleeping on my belly and being able to paint my own toes!
I miss sleeping on my back, and spiking my hot chocolate. I miss lunch meat (because I refuse to eat it warm), and real caesar dressing. But I am savouring the freedom of having 2 hands and a cooperative toddler. I know it'll be much harder to get things done with a newborn attached to my chest
I know this sounds awful but I miss my cocktails too. It's just not as fun going out after work with the girls or even with my hubby to a nice restaurant and ordering a sparkling water. Especially now that it's getting nice out. I can't wait for a real Cosmo!! Lol
Definitely cocktails. I miss getting together with my girlfriends, having some drinks and chitchatting for hours. Its just not the same with mocktails. I miss doing my regular workouts and basically worrying about everything I do or put into my body lol.
Sleeping through the night without having to pee every 2 hours. Sleeping on my back. Soft cheeses. Not worrying about all the things that can go wrong with a baby (this is my 4th and this time I just feel so acutely aware of all the bad things that can happen, probably because I have had friends and family experience miscarriages, late term losses and still birth).
Sushi, the occasional good beer or margarita and Jersey Mike's. I haven't given up the over easy eggs or med rare meat and all's been fine, I just make sure to buy quality meat
Sushi and distance running! I ran a marathon and a half(39.3 miles) at 6 weeks pregnant, and even though I have kept active...running just isn't in the cards right now. My BFF knows it's her job to being sushi to the hospital after I deliver
Eggs Benedict and sleeping on my back. Today was the first night in months that I didn't have to get up to the bathroom... or I don't remember getting up to pee..... maybe I am so far gone now.
Cocktails! (I do occasionally have a half glass or so of wine, but I don't feel comfortable drinking cocktails; they typically have quite a bit more alcohol than half a glass of wine). Also, long walks in the spring. My back was hurting a lot last week, right when everything was really starting to bloom, but I couldn't really move comfortably enough to enjoy a nice spring walk outside
I miss feeling sexy!! I feel beautiful in my pregnant body, but NOT sexy lol. I also miss being able to eat and do whatever I feel like without having to consider if it's safe for the baby. But, I wouldn't trade any of this for the world :x . Can't wait to have little man in my arms!!! :x
I miss beer so badly. A few months before we got pregnant, my husband and I were really starting to get into local craft brews. We were trying out different kinds, going to local breweries, and we event went to this craft brewer's festival and had a really really good time. This year, that same brewer's festival lands the weekend after our due date. Grrrr.
Wine!!! I never realized how much I loved it until now that I can't have it. Also, just feeling like myself! I miss having energy to get up and get things done without being tired, out of breath, and sore. I miss going out with friends or having friends over, and being able to stay awake past 10 pm!
I can count on one hand how many drinks I've had in my life, but I could really use one these days!! I miss not getting sick ALL THE TIME!! I just wanted eat without almost puking!!
Re: Things you miss?
Runny eggs!! I sooo want one!
