I gave Jack his eviction notice a few days ago, and he is not listening! I can already see he is going to be one stubborn little boy. He gets it from his dad, I of course am completely agreeable.
Here's what I'm looking forward to when I have an outside of the body baby:
10. Drinking adult beverages. I can't wait to have something alcoholic. I have some champagne chilling in the fridge once Jack comes on the scene.
9. Sleeping in whatever position my little heart desires. If I lay on my right side, this greatly upsets Jack and he starts kicking and punching. When I lay on my left side, my arm goes numb. Oh, sleeping any which way sounds like heaven even if it is only in 2 hour batches.
8. Not having insomnia. At this point I'm looking forward to sleep deprivation so at least I won't be up for stupid reasons browsing the internet. I feel like I've conquered the internet.
7. Running. I can't wait to start getting back into shape. I know I have a few more weeks until I'm cleared, but at least it's on the horizon.
6. Significantly less doctor appointments. I rarely get sick (knock on wood). During this pregnancy I had to get way out of my comfort zone and make 1,000 appointments. I hate calling strangers. I really don't like talking on the phone at all. I think I have a phobia.
5. Using the bathroom less. I'm just blowing through the toilet paper around here. I need to go back to work, so I can use the school's toilet paper.
4. Using the bathroom only. I'm looking forward to not analyzing my urine and searching for mucous plugs or spotting.
3. I'm ready to stop talking about all the nasty things associated with pregnancy. I've heard enough about Preparation H, stool softener, Depends, and TUCs pads, thank you very much.
2. No more maternity clothes. I hate elastic waists. I want to wear my own clothes and not constantly pulling them up.
1. Meeting Jack. I can't wait to hold him and love him. Jack-we are beyond ready for you. Please make an appearance soon. I'm begging you.
I went 8 days past my due date with Kalena-- it is HARD to go past your due date! Here's hoping Jack gets here soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, #4. I'm still waiting for this one. There's a whole host of other things to look for after baby, but the end is in sight!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the meeting Jack part! Here's hoping everything goes well and soon!
