This is by far the most excited I've been about a blog! Why? Because I get to tell you that the date has been set! June 7th, 2011 will by my son's birthday (unless of course the Lord shows great favor upon me and brings him sooner)!! The thought of my labor being "induced" is a little frightening, but the excitement at this point is outweighing any fear that I have...
It's really strange to know the exact date that your life is going to change forever....
Top 6 things I will NOT miss about being pregnant:
6. The inability to complete a sentence without having to stop and take a breath
5. Feeling like I've been sucker punched in the vagina every time I stand up
4. This ridiculous "waddle" (the one I always thought was somewhat of a "put on"...no its for real)
3. Excessive gas (although it has been fun to torment my husband with, as he has me for the last ten years!)
2. Being unable to wipe front to back (apparently your arms get shorter somewhere around 34 weeks)
1. The #1 thing I will not miss is...my fluid-induced double chin (at least I'm gonna blame it on the fluid :))
Top 6 things I will miss about being pregnant:
6. Eating peanut butter & jelly sandwiches at midnight and not feeling guilty
5. Now having to greet "Aunt Flow" every month
4. Someone else doing my laundry and cleaning the bathroom (bed rest has its benefits)
3. Excessive gas (what will I torment Landis with now??) haha
2. Feeling my little man move inside of me
1. And the #1 thing I will miss, although he has caused me great discomfort, I will really miss him just being inside of me; in there I know he's safe, he gets to go everywhere with me, he sleeps when I sleep, eats when I eat...heck it feels like he's been in there so long I'm not sure I'll know how to act when he's actually out!
So any extra prayers you guys wanna throw up to the Big Man on Tuesday would be greatly appreciated! I look forward to telling you all the gory details of my delivery :) haha
To all of you who are already a mom...I'll soon be joining you on the "other side"! Can't wait to see what this new journey holds!
It's time for me to make like a fetus and head out of here!(HA)
