If I could go back in time....

in May 2016 Moms
To when I was 20 weeks and complaining that I hadn't felt any movement, I would tell my past self to STFU and enjoy it.  I am sitting here at my desk, leaned back to a nearly horizontal position, because it feels as though this child is just parkour-ing all over my internal organs.  

And sometimes I haven't felt him in a while, and when I realize that, it's like he can hear my damn thoughts and gives me a solid punch to the ribs.  Thanks kid!

    I would go back to before I got pregnant and I'd tell myself to get all the stuff done that I didn't have the time/energy for during the first & second tri due to hyperemesis/fatigue/etc, because I'm so behind on everything now. 

    Then I'd fast forward to now, by which point I could just relax and binge watch all the Will & Grace. 



    So much this! I put off doing way too many things and am now just overwhelmed and huge and tired...ugh. I am never going to get everything done!

    I'd turn time waaaayyyy back to before we started TTC and tell myself to binge on wine until I couldn't stand it anymore.... that way it would be out of my system and maybe I wouldn't crave it so darn much right now!
    You mean like this?
    megan mullally will and grace karen walker drink responsibly

    Or like this?
    party no drinking alcohol eye roll

    I would go back and tell myself that going to Grad School while being pregnant and working full time is not the best idea. That I can stay in middle management for the rest of my career, screw grad school.

    Sorry no GIF to share.

    I would get a new job before getting pregnant. 3 months before so that I would be eligible for FMLA by the time I have the baby. And so that I didn't spend 6 months of this pregnancy  stressed out by my former  crappy boss.  Stupid job.

    I would tell first trimester me to sleep WAY more while I could still lay on my stomach. I didn't realize third trimester tiredness could hit so fast, and now the exhaustion is combined with never being comfortable AND flailing around like a turtle on its back when trying to move. I miss laying on my stomach so much.

    I would have pushed my husband harder to find a new job before he lost his and definitely would NOT have bought the new minivan (bought it less than a week before husband lost his job- horrible timing)!

    I would've got two chocolate chip cookies v. one when I had Penara for lunch today. I forgot I'd be working late and I want another one of those damn cookies soooo bad.

    I would go back to when we started renovations with a detailed list of how to do everything we've done so far (and what is going to go wrong). That would take out so much stress. :)
