I Can't Believe I'm Saying This...

 ...but i miss being pregnant! Of course i love my little Peanut and wouldn't trade the "real" thing for the world, but there are some things about being pregnant that i miss quite a lot. Now that i'm headed back to work soon i realize that on days that i have to close i won't see my little guy practically all day long because he'll be asleep by the time i get home. I miss my round belly with it's little kicks, wriggles and hiccups that i could feel anytime i wanted. I miss listening to a tiny little heartbeat with my doppler almost every night. I miss the excitement of the unknown and telling my belly stories without worrying i'll wake him up. My belly was also quite portable and didn't mind if i took it out for midnight Wendy's runs. It never complained (too much) and generally let me sleep as long as i wanted, even if i did have to get up to pee all the time. My belly also followed me to the car much more quickly and didn't require bottles, diaper bags, a fully tummy, a pacifier, a good mood, and a clean diaper. As much as i complained at the time i totally get how moms "forget" all the awful side effects, pain, etc, and reminisce about how great it was to be pregnant and how delivery really isn't that bad. After months of bitching, i can't believe i'm saying i miss being pregnant!!
