Wow - 40 weeks is LONG. They say it flies by and I guess to some aspects it does, but seriously, after it's all said and done with I will have been pregnant for close to a YEAR. As I am 29 weeks, going on 30 now, I have been thinking about some things I won't miss about being pregnant...
I miss...
-Wearing my wedding rings. I had to take them off about 3-4 weeks ago or they wouldn't be coming off...
-Bending over.
-Laying on the floor to watch TV without having assistance getting up.
-Sleeping on my stomach. Unfortunately I am a stomach sleeper and I have had a mega-hard time getting used to sleeping ONLY on my side per every pregnancy book I have read. Say what you want but a pillow under my stomach and knees does NOT equal a good night's sleep!
-Wearing normal clothes - particularly t-shirts. Although the stretchy pants ARE quite nice...
-Walking up stairs without getting out of breath.
-A good margarita.
-Seeing various parts of my body.
-Not having to use the bathroom every 2.3 seconds
-Never having experienced heartburn ever before.
-Having ankles.
-Having a memory.
I know it sounds like I am awfully complain-y but really I am not very often. I have had a relatively easy pregnancy so far and have feel generally great - I am ready for there to be a baby now and hope the next 11 weeks go quick - I am sure when it is here I will look back and realize how easy I had it for now!! Next week we start..."Preparation for Parenthood" classes. WOO! This will be EXCITING! (anybody have any tips to make Logan a little more enthusiastic? I might have to drug him.

WOW - hard to believe it's only 11 weeks!!!!! It WILL be here before you know it.
Can't wait to see you this weekend.
Love, Mom XOXO
Yeah, it can seem really long, I think espeically when you are preggo when the new year changes over, you know like you were preggo in 2008 and now in 2009..does that make sense? I missed all of those things you listed too. Hang in there, tougher days are still ahead but the joy outways all of it. :) Can't wait to see you soon! Love-Becca
