What will you miss about being pregnant?

I haven't had an easy pregnancy and my job is not ideal. In these last few weeks I'm trying to hold on to the things I like about being pregnant.
1. Attention. I'll admit. It's fun to be the topic of all work meetings.
2. Excuses. I can get out of anything. If I don't want to go to an event, I don't have to. If I don't want to go hiking, I don't have to. Sounds lazy, but I'm really bad at saying no.
3. Feeling her kick. This was freaky at first, but now is so reassuring that she's ok.
4. The way I look. I'm not a small girl but the way my body has adjusted to this pregnancy, is awesome. I think I look hot!
5. My hair. It's amazing now.
I'll keep my list going, but what do you love/will you miss?

Re: What will you miss about being pregnant?
2) my nails. They have been growing really fast and strong and that never happens.
3) watching TV a lot and it being totally ok.
4) having an excuse to eat Chickfila and donuts whenever I want.
Ugh is that terrible that's it? Haha I don't like being pregnant. I miss being able to play with my son like I want and being able to go and do all that I want. I worry too much with him being on the inside. I want to see him haha.
No period
My husband has been great and I will have to go back to cleaning the litter box!
I've been saving my pregnancy card for a time I'll really need it but now I feel like I've ran out of time. People keep using it for me and it's annoying.
Not having to suck in was a great one! But then after I have to retrain my body lol
These boobs! I'm not looking forward to after breastfeeding when they deflate. I see augmentation in my 5 year plan.
I really enjoy how nice people are. It's not so much about the attention, it's more about how much I enjoy seeing people be kind. I think I'd feel the same way if I just saw it, but experiencing it is nice also.
Although I am quite large with this child, this is the first time in probably my whole life where I haven't felt self conscious about my body. Sure, it's a little scary looking (I'm getting REALLY huge, lol) but it is beautiful also. I love my body, even if most of the time my body doesn't love me (everything hurts, lol).
Also, I love knowing how close my little boy is. Soon he will be out in the world and I won't be able to hold him this close and know that he is always safe, cushioned inside of me. So as uncomfortable as I am, I'm not ready to let him go yet.
No gut sucking. Hahaha.
I'm excited to meet her, working on setting my induction date, but scared out of my mind. Right now all I have to do is eat and sleep to care for her...I have no idea what/how to do when she gets here!
2. Also, I do love having people kindly give up their seats for me on the bus no questions asked. It's not so much the seat but it's the warm smile that it usually comes with it that makes me and this little baby feel so special.
3. My maternity clothes. I have some really cute little outfits that I'm going to be sad to fold up and stock or give away for good, since I'm thinking this is the last time I'll be pregnant.
I will miss how fast my nails and hair is growing.
I will miss my crazy ass sex drive. I'm like a teenager again. (DH and I have been together since I was 15, I'm now 24)
I will miss all the help I get moving heavier items. I'm a petite person so I was limited anyways but it's been nice not having to carry in the cases of water and heavy groceries.
I will miss how great my skin is complexion wise. It's not as oily either. That may be due to our move to TX though.
Pregnancy has been good to me. I just dislike the aches and pains that come along with it. But in the end I don't really mind those either because I know it's all worth it!
I WONT miss baby kicks, I find them creepy and annoying, and I'd much rather be able to see her!
I will, however, miss:
1) My husband bringing me donuts or whatever food I mention I want.
2) Being able to take a nap when I want. (At least when I can breathe)
3) My baby's movements
4) My older son cooking dinner every night
5) My younger son trying to catch the baby moving and when he can't calling her a brat.
But my finger nails are insane now
And I'll miss the sex from trimester 2!
And that's about it...
No period
Not scooping litterboxes
I will definitely miss feeling this little guy move around all of the time.
I'll also miss how clear my skin is and how clean my hair is after days of not washing it.
I will miss..
getting any food I want
no period (especially since mine are painful)
my thick shiny hair
everyone telling me I am glowing.
feeling baby move
Other than that...not a single thing.
My clear skin.
Rubbing my big belly.
Not feeling conscious about how I feel in clothes for the first time ever.
The excitement and anticipating that a new member is coming into our family.
1. Feeling my little man move inside of me and having him all to myself...I am not ready for him to come out and having to share him with the world!
2. No period. Enough said!
3. As I am not one that normally enjoys the "all eyes on me" feeling this is a strange one. But I will miss the attention to an extent...people being extra nice or helpful.
4. Being able to get out of things. Wether it's going out with fiancé's sister (I don't have to make up an excuse I can just say I'm tired or don't feel like it). Or carrying my dog food out of the store..now I can hold my tummy and get the nice little boy at the register to carry it out for me
5. Also being able to eat pretty much what I want and not having to worry if that one extra milkshake is going to go right to my hips...which it might but I probably wouldn't notice as much!
6. Not feeling as self conscious of my body. I've always been small but pre-pregnancy have had a little stomach I felt like I just had to try and hide. Now it's like flaut it if you got it!!
However as much as I will miss these little things. I am very ready for little man to get here and to get to hold him in my arms not just my belly!!
Apart from that i cannot wait to just have my little baby in my arms and have me back!
