30 Weeks down .... 10 to go

This week I've decided that instead of "Thankful Thursday" I will do a post on things I will miss when I'm not prego anymore...and of course that list can't exist without things I won't miss when this all comes to an end.

Maybe I'll look back at some point and miss this, but honestly right now I'm pretty much ready to not be pregnant anymore. Too bad I still have 2 1/2 months left to go.

Also, this is the first time in 4 pregnancies that I have posed for a picture to show my big ol' belly. I'm not loving the picture but there you have it. Blogging makes us do things we'd never do otherwise. :)

Things I will miss:

Not having to suck in my tummy

Having boobs again!

Eating whatever I want whenever I want and having a great excuse

My hair and nails growing fast

Not feeling the baby move

Having to pack a diaper bag and carry the car seat in order to run into the store instead of just packing my big belly in there with me

Being able to go to bed as early as I want and not feeling silly (or having Todd make fun of me for being worn out by 8:00 pm)

Wondering what my baby will look like (and if it’s a boy or girl)

Rock hard abs (only when I’m having a contraction – but it’s better than never)

Things I won’t miss:

The constant heartburn

The back pain

Not being able to turn around enough to see when I’m backing the car out

Not being able to tie my shoes

My bellybutton sticking out

My skin being so bad … eczema, pimples and blotchy skin

Leg cramps

Feeling fat

Not wearing normal clothes – I can’t wait to button a pair of pants again

Being woken up in the middle of the night to pee or because the baby is kicking me (of course this might be better than waking up every few hours for the baby to eat)
