Saying Goodbye to One Experience
Well, I did it. I made it through my first pregnancy. I still feel like I'm dreaming a bit. All the waiting is finally over. I'm a mommy.
I'm SO glad to not be pregnant anymore, but a bit sad too surprisingly.
Things I will miss about being pregnant:
1. Feeling my baby move around inside of me - from the first little flips, to the kicks, to the rolling from side to side
2. Feeling more feminine and more of a woman than I've ever felt before
3. Playing the pregnant card (of course now I can play the "I just had a baby" card.)
4. Not trying to lose weight or worrying too much about weight in general
5. Relating to all the other pregnant women out there
6. Having people ask me how I'm feeling
Things I will NOT miss about being pregnant:
1. Morning sickness, nausea, vomiting
2. Not being able to eat certain foods
3. Charlie horses, leg cramps, back cramps
4. headaches, bloating, heartburn
5. Going pee every hour or more
6. Not being able to get out of bed or bend over
7. Getting exhausted from standing
8. Wearing the same six shirts
9. Swollen feet, ankles, and nose
10. Answering the same questions over and over (When are you due? What are you having?)
11. Dealing with pushy salespeople at Motherhood Maternity
I've already felt a few gas bubbles that felt like a baby and then I had to tell myself that it wasn't my baby anymore. My belly feels so empty. But holding my baby in my arms is much, much better.
