The Things I Miss

I'm now approaching 29 weeks, and am in my 3rd trimester now.   Although my belly is still quite small...Sabrina is pretty big.  We have a talented child, as she can kick my ribs and punch my bladder simultaneously.  Nice.  I now know why athletes are required to say, "Hi, Mom!" on tv after winning a National Championship.

In any case, I'm in the home stretch and really am starting to miss some pre-pregnancy things.  Here is a list:

(1)  Looking cute in my Sevens.  I'm sick of maternity pants, which keep falling down.

(2)  Not having to worry about "the girls" falling out.:)  

(3)  The ability to go workout and get my heart rate about 140 bpm.

(4)  The ability to wear heels without feeling like I'm going to tip over

(5)  The ability to actually dance while teaching class...and to wear a leotard and tights instead of big ole sweats and a tank top.

(6)  Sleeping on my stomach and not feeling like a beached whale while turning to another position.

(7)  wine

On the other hand, there are some things I'll definitely miss about being pregnant:

(1)  Feeling her move.  

(2)  Watching her move.

(3)  The anticipation of her arrival

(4)  Sleep :) 

(5)  Steve listening to my belly and feeling her move.  She likes to kick him in the face when he puts his cheek to my belly.  It's so cute.  

(6)  The ability to eat a Twix (or two) a week as a treat.

(7)  Hearing, "Don't worry about your weight...you're supposed to gain weight!!"

All in all, being pregnant has been pretty neat.  There are definitely interesting things that happen to your body while pregnant...I won't go into them at this point...but, it's definitely a miracle that redefines your life.  I can't wait until she's here!
