things i'm looking forward to.

these are the things i've been looking forward to, now for months. and while in some ways, they feel like a carrot that is dangled before me, never to get closer, no matter how i move, i can't help but think about them...

  1. laying on my stomach. so often, i just want to stretch out on the bed or couch, propped up on my elbows to read a book. i can't wait to do this again.
  2. sleep on my back. this was my favorite position for the past few years. i cannot wait to return to it.
  3. drink alcohol.
  4. sit without feeling my stomach on my own lap.
  5. be able to reach things on the car floor without getting all the way out of the car and bending down to get them.
  6. being able to get into and out of the car in one movement, instead of 3 maneauvers.
  7. rolling over in my sleep without waking up or shimmeying, or having to rearrange the 8 pillows that  prop me up.
  8. not being asked by strangers when i'm due or what i'm having [please, God, let this go away once he's out.]
  9. everyone and their brother asking in public spheres, like facebook, about when i'm going to have the baby. [spoiler alert:: if i knew, we'd have had him by now, folks.]
  10. not accidentally bumping into things because i'm not used to having a 60 inch waiste-line.

  3. I'm also wishing for #4.

    I've never had the balls to talk to someone about them being pregnant if I didn't know them beforehand. Even if it's totally obvious that they're pregnant. So thoughtful, am I!

    I know you more than any of us are excited to see who's in there. I hope it's sooner rather than later!

  4. LOL! I'm right there with you on all of those points. I'm due August 28th. I woke up feeling very uncomfortable a few mornings ago only to find myself trying to sleep on my stomach. I just had to laugh at myself. What was I thinking?
