  Hmmm, I would feel this way... But I had sooo many anxieties through out my pregnancy, and now that I know what it's like - I don't feel anxious about baby anymore.

  I totally understand. I also miss using my belly as a table

  I get that for sure! I remember talking about how everything would be split evenly, and being very worried about how the nursery was decorated, and thinking my baby would be dressed cute all the time.

  Yep! I thought duties would be 50/50 with no understanding how impossible that is when you're nursing a baby.
  
  i had no idea that sometimes the cutest outfits don't actually comfortably fit a baby body or make it easy to do a diaper change. Like baby shoes.
  
  I also miss my bump. I really enjoyed my pregnant body and not having to care about sucking in your stomach and still getting compliments.

  I miss having DS with me 24/7. I miss him terribly when I'm at work...but that makes me appreciate the time I do have with him!

  I miss the anticipation and the excitement, wondering who our little person would be. But that's about the only thing...being pregnant was not my strong suit.

  I loved being pregnant. I enjoyed the clothes, the belly, the excitement of the baby growing inside of me. I am not an all around chipper person. I can be snarky and sometimes quite blunt, so I only hoped I would be that crazy happy pregnant lady. I did not want to be miserable, or feel horrible either. Luckily. I didn't.
  
   I almost envy the fact that many ladies got to go further in their pregnancies than I did. My water broke right at 34w. I didn't get to wind down and have a "nesting" period. I didn't  finish anything for work or in preparation for his arrival to be honest. The fact that I had such a great pregnancy, delivery despite going early, and recovery, are reasons why I don't necessarily want to do it again. I'm worried this next time around, I'm just destined to have the complete opposite expe
