Pregnancy Complaints

Most days I try to embrace being pregnant

and all the discomforts that come along with it.

I am creating life and that is a beautiful thing.

That being said,

 I do have days that I want nothing more than the old me back.

I realize that one day I will look back and miss the feeling

 of my little one squirming around inside of me....

but I am beginning to forget what it feels like to not be pregnant.

So...here are 10 things.

10 things I miss.

10 things I want to complain about.

 10 things I can not wait to experience again.

10 things that I am looking forward to post-pregnancy

(in no particular order)

10. paint my own toenails without huffing and puffing for air

9. eat a steak that isn't prepared to a jerky-like-consistency

8. take a steaming, hot bath

7. zip and button my jeans with ease

6. get a sun-kissed glow from an indoor tanning bed

5. overindulge in sushi
4. enjoy some wine with my soft cheeses
3. sleep through the night without emptying my bladder

2. drink a redbull or rockstar or any other kind of highly caffeinated beverage.

1. whiten my teeth

I don't care if some of these things seem ridiculous or superficial,

these are things I took for granted pre-pregnancy.

I am done with big bertha. I just want to hold my little girl in my arms.
