Oh, I love this list! I found your blog via Girls Gone Child.
1. I really, really loved that feeling of him in my belly, and I wish I got more video of his little somersaults through my skin.
2. I'm breastfeeding and still eat for two! In fact, I eat way more now than I did in the last few months I was pregnant- more room!
11. Oh man, get ready for even more unsolicited advice! Except now people do it in this really passive aggressive way... "Hi baby, aren't you cold? You should tell your mom she needs to put socks on your little feet!"
13. You'll get a whole bunch of attention now, with a little tiny baby-- actually, let me rephrase that: HE'LL get a ton of attention, and people will forget you're even there. Haha!
30. Yup. And, oddly, end of my perky butt. I have no idea what happened!
32., 33., 36.-40. Yes! I miss this the most, I think. My time being MY time. Never again.
You're almost done with this chapter! The next is pretty rad. Have fun!
Great list Chika...
There are quite a few things I will miss as well, but I'm getting into that "feeling full" stage and would rather do without.
I do have to say, I have never felt healthier in my life. I will work hard to keep that feeling around, for both of us AND the babydaddy!
(I'm having cupcakes at my shower and thinking of you! How did your's go? Pictures! Pictures!)
Hi Jump Mama Jump! Thanks for stopping by my blog! So great to meet other mama's out there. Love to hear how we have these things in common and your experiences with the little baby make me laugh too. Can't wait to figure out how to handle the passive aggressive advice from those people telling my baby to tell me to put on more layers on him. What the heck is that about!
Katye - I feel the opposite of the healthiest I've ever been. I feel like I have fallen to the dark side of food and health and can't wait to get back to feeling on track - except for the part of me that CAN wait and wants another choc chip ice cream cone from Buster's coffee shop!
Thanks for stopping by.
