Things I will miss about being pregnant:
1) Having a little friend to tote around with me. I really love feeling him move inside of me!
2) My strong nails and how fast and long they grow.
3) The attention from others. I have to admit, I kind of like it.
4) Growing a life inside of me. What a wonderful gift to give (and receive)!
5) Clear skin. While it's a little dry, at least I have no acne for several months.
Things I will not miss about being pregnant:
1) The lack of sleep. I get terrible insomnia when I'm pregnant.
2) Being huge and uncomfortable. It's hard to get into a good position when sitting, standing, laying down...
3) My swollen ankles. Nothing else has swelled, just my feet and ankles. They're not pretty.
4) The attention from others. While I like it mostly, it does get annoying when people stare at you in awe and say "wow, you haven't had that baby YET? You're huge!"
5) The maternity clothes. Nothing fits anymore and I hate most of the clothes now. It's too late to buy anything new so I'm wearing the same 4 outfits that fit over and over again.
I should also mention that I really won't miss the gestational diabetes and pricking my finger 4 times a day. And I'm really looking forward to carb-loading!!
