Well, the big day is next Monday and I am SO ready to have this baby. The miracle of pregnancy is amazing, but honestly, I don't like it much. Sure, it has it's moments of wonderfulness, and I get a sweet little baby out of it, but I'm not the kinda girl that loves being pregnant. I'm all about the destination, not the journey. So in honor of the upcoming day, I'm going to list all of the things that I will NOT miss when all is said and done. Feel free to add yours.* Puffy feet and hands
* Constant need to pee
* Not being able to bend over
* Not being able to breathe
* Headaches
* Braxton Hicks
* The baby sitting on the bladdar (not to mention the occasional jab with his foot)
* Nausea
* Not being able to jog
* Food aversions
* Forgetting I have this huge lump in front of me and running into things
* Utter exhaustion
* Maternity clothes
* Not being able to find a comfortable sleeping position
* Restless Leg Syndrome
* Not being able to care for Abby the way I want to
* Not being able to paint my toe nails
* My super-clumsiness
By the way, I'm sorry I haven't posted a picture of my belly. The camera is still in the shop. :(

Yes, all those things are horrible. But I'd take them all in a heartbeat to have a baby :)
You might want to rephrase part of the opener from "I Love the baby part, just not the baby MAKING part" to maybe something like "just not the being pregnant part." I would like to THINK that you like the baby MAKING part...if you get my drift. Sorry to go the direction Suzy would have taken this post, I just thought it was kind of funny! Love ya!
You get the restless leg thing too? When I was pregnant I was really afraid I would jump out of the moving car because my legs would start freaking out. Man I hated that!
I hate being almost 47 and still having stretch marks that look like train tracks across my belly. I love watching all my baby sisters and daughter-in-law be pregnant and knowing it's not me, but I still get to play with the babies!
honestly, I loved every bit of it! there was a while where they thought I wouldnt be able to have any children at all so when I found out they were wrong I was soooooo happy and enjoyed everything about my pregnancy.
I really am blessed for being able to have children, and I know I don't have it near as bad as some women who suffer miserably when they are pregnant, but these past couple of weeks have been tough on me and I just needed to complain.
I hear ya Mandie! We all need to "vent" once in a while:) You only have a few days left and you don't have to survive the HOT summer being pregnant! I would say that is a MAJOR plus!!!! Good luck...I can't wait to see all the pic's of this new addition:)
hey, i'm molly's friend steph.
I didn't complain at all with my last pregnancy, but DANG, this one is killing me. I only have a few weeks to go, and I just keep thinking how hard it has been, so i am glad i'm not the only one. I agree with all you said and have to add mood swings to the list, i can cry at the drop of a hat, or start laughing hysterically at the stupidest thing.
Oh what fun!
It's all true... but when the baby comes, I want to do it all over again (In good time:). Funny how that works. It's so worth it!
I really don't like being pregnant. I love the little baby that I get in the end, but this pregnancy is the last one! It makes this pregnancy more bearable knowing that I (hopefully) won't be pregnant ever again!
Can I just say...some days I would rather be pregnant, lol. Just be prepared...two is a lot of work!! Good luck :)
love what you did to your page
