Reflecting...

As my pregnancy progresses and I am getting closer and closer to the end, I can't help but reflect over the last nine months. I know that I am extremely lucky to have gotten pregnant so easily and Brian and I thank God for that every day. I have less than six weeks to my due date. Here are some of my thoughts:

Things I will miss about being pregnant:

• feeling my baby move inside of me every day
• having an excuse to take a nap when needed
• eating extra and not feeling too guilty
• my students talking to my belly
• Brian kissing my belly
• the overall happiness and contentment that I feel

Things I will NOT miss about being pregnant:

• stepping on a scale on a regular basis
• strangers rubbing or touching my belly
• not being able to have a glass of wine
• going pee constantly because a baby is smashing my bladder
• my ankle swelling every day just because
• trying to find a comfortable position during Mass
