So first off, it was my lovely Husband that reminded me that I haven't written in over 4 months. For that I do sincerly apologize. These past four months have been crazy times for us. We bought a house, renovating the house, moving, quitting and getting everything closed off at my job, and if you don't recall, getting ready to have a baby.
So now that we are so close to having our little girl, Little Sunshine, I just wanted to reflect on life as a pregnant woman. Before I continue on, I have loved every moment of being pregnant with our little girl and wouldn't trade this experience for anything. We are so excited and can not wait for her to get here!! Even though I was warned by my mother and vetran's of the pregnancy race, let me tell you that last month or two is HARD. So if you are ever bored, you should try moving and renovating a house being 8.5+ months pregnant. It's so much fun, let me tell ya.
But with her impending arrival within a week, here are the things I will look forward to after having my body back:
1. Being able to bend over without moaning.
2. Being able to put on pants without grunting or assistance.
3. In addition to number 3, a pair of damn panties!
4. Not looking like, as my husband likes to say, 11 months pregnant.
5. Having my ankles back, I have perpetual elephant ankles now.
6. Getting the desire to drink coffee again
7. Being able to lift a box without my hand being slapped.
8. Being able to eat any kind of sushi again
9. Being able to have a cold salami sandwich.
10. To be able to see my feet again!
But all said and done, people tell me to enjoy these last few days of quiet and time to myself. That might be true, but I honestly can not wait regardless of the feedings every two hours. I always wanted to be a mother and here are the ten things I genuinely look forward to, after Little Sunshine comes:
1. Being able to call her mine.
2. Seeing her face for the first time
3. In line with number 3, seeing what features she has of mine or darling Husband.
4. Touching her soft skin.
5. Counting her little fingers and toes.
6. Seeing Darling Husband hold her for the first time (I will probably cry more than a baby).
7. Seeing her fall asleep.
8. Watching her sleep on her Dad's chest.
9. Seeing Hubby watch her first Ranger's game together.
10. Seeing her grandparents and other family hold her for their first time.
So yes I might get sleep deprived for a while and have some frustrations, but I welcome them. It's part of this new chapter in our life that I welcome with open arms and would not trade it for the world. It's crazy how soon our lives are going to drastically change. If you asked me a year ago if I was going to have a child, I would have said maybe not yet, but now I can not imagine my life not being so close to having her. So to my Little Sunshine, when you are old enough to do a google search and find this post, I can not wait till you get here and every day after that. You are already the light of our lives and we love you so much. Till you get here, we will wait, even though we don't want to any longer.
Oh and I am sorry about Dad tickling your feet so much, he already loves your little toes and loves feeling them through Mommy's belly. He loves playing "find your feet" with you. Don't worry, he is ticklish there too, so use it to your advantage later.
Live, Laugh, Love!
