What I'll miss about pregnancy. . .
Hearing their heartbeat
Seeing them on an ultrasound
Feeling the baby movements
Recognizing baby hands and feet as they are pushing so hard on my belly
Eating whatever I want for 9 months
What I'm glad I will never experience again. . .
Morning sickness (or all day sickness for that matter)
The stress of the first 12 weeks, waiting to hear the heartbeat and be out of the "danger zone"
Maternity pants and the constant tugging/adjusting they require
Not being able to breathe for 9 months (luckily this time we got a grip on my allergies)
My belly getting in the way of doing things like reading books with my kids on my lap
Bumping in to things with my belly (once I set my sweater on fire while cooking dinner, oops)
Perfect strangers touching my belly
Birthing stories and advice from same perfect strangers
Hearing how I have "popped" or "blossomed" or other lovely adjectives people use to describe me
Answering the questions "when are you due?" and "have you picked a name yet?"
A psycho sciatic nerve
Recovery from a C-section

Really? Only 9 weeks. Where does the time go? You look great!
Amen, sista! I'm thrilled you only have 9 weeks left and that you never have to be pregnant again. I'm not announcing this to everyone, but I'm pregnant with my last one, too. :) I'm due around Christmas, and needless to say, you are an inspiration to me! Thanks for being a great example of endurance and positivity!
I have to agree with you on just about all of those. I do love being pregnant, but there are some definate downsides. And I hear that it is even harder after 30 so kudos to you for getting 'er done. :)
