Enough!

There are many things about this pregnancy that I will miss. Most of all feeling Patrick squirm around in my stomach, and even those kicks to the ribs! I love feeling them because I know that he is doing well and healthy and I love that. I also miss eating whatever I want without scrutiny. Let's be clear, I eat whatever I want regardless. I am not one of 'those' girls that gets a salad when they go out to eat with friends. Ask my husband. I wasn't afraid to eat on our first date! However, now people will look at me like I am a fat a*** instead of 'having an excuse.' Ah well!

One thing that I will NOT miss (besides my poor swollen sausages that were once my feet) is everyone saying "Sleep now because once the baby comes you won't get any rest!" Really? Gee, thanks. I thought I was going to pop this kid out and he would be on a perfect schedule, sleeping from 10 pm to 7 am and eating when I eat. I realize he will be a newborn. He will eat and sleep whenever he wants. I get it. I don't need reminders that I am going to be a zombie (If I don't get my sleep I am miserable....again, ask my poor husband). But, I will adjust. I am sure that looking into his little eyes will be worth all of those sleepless nights. Or at least I will keep telling myself that!

One other thing that I will NOT miss and everyone telling me how small I am. Look, I don't FEEL small and while I am grateful I didn't gain 1,000 pounds, every time someone tells me how small I am I feel like I am a bad mom. (I know, ridiculous). It just makes me feel like somehow I am not giving him what he needs and he should be bigger. I know it isn't true because he always measures perfectly, but still, that's how that comment makes me feel.

Honestly, I have had an amazing pregnancy. No morning sickness, I have felt GREAT, I have had energy and can still move around pretty well and do my normal routine. If these are the only two things I can complain about then I will continue to count my blessings. Now if only I can say the same about the delivery this weekend!
