I will likely miss

• Maternity clothes. The panels and all. So comfortable...every girl should be wearing them. 
  
• Being told by my doctor it's okay to head to McDonalds for an occassional Shamrock Shake. 
  
• How nice people are. People are really really nice when you are pregnant. It's unreal.
  
• Having help and advice from friends and family. At first I didn't like it, but I gave in and it's quite humbling and nice. I hope that doesn't stop. It's certainly made me feel like I need to be a better person.
  
• Gaining weight, but this time, I have a good excuse. That goes double for my big belly.
• Being told to kick back and relax.
• Sleep. It's the number one thing people tell you to say good-bye during and after pregnancy. Later sleep. It was nice knowing you.

I will not miss

• Walking at a snail's pace. I was exercising pretty often and well up until about a month ago. Now, I can't really walk the dog more than 10 minutes or go to the gym without my belly and below aching.
• Not being able to take Bella for long walks. The look on her face the last few months makes me so sad. Thankfully, Kenny has been taking the lead on this and has been a trooper, walking her whenever he can.
• Taking a good minute or so to roll out of bed. I now know what it's like to be a cross between a turtle and sea lion stuck on its back. 
• Um, these cankles and swollen hands are ridiculous. My lower legs look like upside down bowling pins. I feel kind of weird walking around pregnant without a wedding ring on.
• These double EE width shoes I've been wearing every day. They are starting to stink from all the constant wear and tear.
• Constant pressure on the bladder. 
• Pinched nerves
• My inner thighs feeling like they've been doing ThighMaster all night long. 
• Not being able to lay flat on my back or avoiding torso twists
  
• Being told to "Relax and calm down...you're pregnant". Yes, I know it's the ultimate excuse for how uncomfortable I'm feeling, but it still sucks.

Here Comes The Sun

Was the 65 degree, sunny day a breath of fresh air for you too? The dog got a nice long walk- although a slow one. The belly keeps me from going too fast these days. Despite my clogged schnoz, I managed to still enjoy the sun and warm.

That's all. I gotta run because Kenny is calling from the next room. He has the hiccups and apparently, I'm the only one who can provide the cure!
