My 5 on Friday has a theme to it. I'm going to list the 5 things I'm looking forward too about not being pregnant. *GASP!* Pregnancy is a magical time and there is nothing that brings me more joy than knowing that I am growing a life inside of me and watching/feeling those baby kicks and rolls on the inside is amazing. Easily one of my favorite parts. But we can all be honest about one thing... it's not always pleasant and we've all wished our husbands/partners could take on the responsibility for a day or 2. Your body hurts, sleeping sucks, and it can be physically/mentally/emotionally draining. Now that I am 35 weeks, I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and the things about my pre-pregnancy life, and new life, are getting closer.
1. First and foremost, I am looking forward to baby snuggles and being a mom. I might be more excited about watching Danny be a dad though. He practices with Diesel a lot... he holds him like a baby, carries him to bed, tries to make him mind like he would a child, and he even reads to him. Its quite precious really.
2. You better believe the second thing I'm most looking forward too is an adult beverage. Wednesday was one of those work days where you want to start drinking before it even ends. When you're pregnant, you can't unwind with a glass of wine or beer. Instead, you have to find another outlet. The weather has been shiiitty so I can't walk at the park. And as much as I'd like to walk, it hurts and I'm tired. So what do I do, I unwind from my day with some cookies or something else that is just as healthy. No bueno!
3. Speaking of walking at the park, I can't wait do that and go back to Zumba. I have missed both of those like you wouldn't believe. Most importantly, I need them because I've taken about a 3 month break from physical activity. Its so terrible. Hopefully I will be able to master taking both the baby in the stroller and Diesel with me. I joked with Danny that we should have gotten a double stroller so Diesel could sit with Tucker. He would LOVE it!
4. Stomach sleeping. Holy crap am I over sleeping on my sides. My hips hurt from it even though I have the ever beloved Snoogle. I will likely cry tears of joy the first night I can sleep on my stomach. It'll be a beautiful night.
5. Sleep in general. This getting up every hour and a half is for the birds. I miss the days when I got up only once. My life needs me to have more sleep.
I feel you. I was so excited when I stopped breastfeeding because that meant I could have an adult beverage without feeling guilty that something may end up in O's milk. So I pop open my first beer and literally 4 sips in, it's going down amazing by the way, I start to break out in hives all over my body. Well this is about the 3844574809 time this had happened since I have had O that this had happened.... I am now being tested for food allergies. As far as sleep... the only way you will get it is if you let hubs take baby for a few hours so you can sleep in. O is up at 3 every single night and I am up with him but when the weekend rolls around Tim will take him down stairs when he wakes up and the two of them let me sleep in. Its nice. I can't wait to meet your little one....
