I know there’s only a week or two left of being pregnant and I’ve started thinking about what I’ll miss once it’s over and what I won’t. So here’s my list:
What I won’t miss
- HEARTBURN – I can’t remember what it’s like not to have heartburn
- Going to the toilet 25 times a day
- GAS in all shapes and forms
- Feeling like you swallowed a watermelon all the time
- Pain and discomfort down under
- Waking up at night and not being able to sleep again (I guess this one will continue for a while)
- Stretch marks
- Not being able to have a drink now and then
- Being tired
- General aches and pains
What I will miss
- Having my little baby safe inside of me and protected from all harm
- Feeling her move and kick and grow
- That this precious time went by so quickly and that my little girl will grow up just as quick
- That this will be the last couple of days as just a couple

My friend that used to work with me just had her baby today. It is so weird because I was there when she found out she was pregnant and she was so happy because she struggled to fall pregnant. At that time I already knew I was pregnant for about a week. She has her little girl in her arms tonight and I’m still waiting. I’m getting a little bit impatient now. My due date is Monday so I guess we’ll see what happens then.
I see the Midwife again on Thursday so maybe she’ll have some good news for me.
Otherwise I’m feeling well and being at home definitely makes a difference. I feel rested and relax and I’m practicing my breathing and relaxation every day. Jaide is very active especially at night. I hope she’s moving downward with all this activity.
I’ll post a last pic next week if I’m still around, but I think I will be . . .
