Instead of me going into labor, she is turning 2 weeks old!
It's crazy.
I can't believe that there is a chance that I could still be pregnant.
Ewwwww.
I AM SO GLAD TO BE UNPREGNANT!!!!!
So in honor of Sadie's due date/2 week birthday, let's list all the awesome things about being unpregnant.
Maybe it will take my mind off the sucky c-section recovery.
Here we go!!
+ I don't have to constantly count kicks and worry about movement. Sure, I'm still paranoid. But now I just have to roll over and see that she's breathing. It's awesome.
+ I don't get up to pee 7 times a night. Last night, I didn't even pee once!
+ I don't pee when I sneeze.
+ I don't pee when I cough.
+ I don't have to worry about where the closest bathroom is everywhere I go.
+ I don't have a human kicking my bladder.
+ Can you tell how annoyed I was by constantly peeing?
+ I don't feel like a giant bus.
+ I don't have people stare at my belly wherever I go.
+ I don't have to see the number on the scale go up and up.
+ I can roll over in bed without it requiring massive amounts of effort and time.
+ I can sleep on my back.
+ I don't have to sleep surrounded by 9 million pillows.
+ I don't have sore hips.
+ My back doesn't feel like someone stabbed 12 knives into it.
+ I can see my toes. (Still can't bend over to touch them. Thanks c-section).
+ I don't have constant indigestion and heartburn.
+ I can eat anything I want without getting nauseated afterwards.
+ I don't have insomnia. Sure a baby wakes me up at night now, but it's way better than being wide awake for no reason.
+ My claustrophobia is gone.
+ Not every strong smell makes me want to puke.
+ I can breathe again! No squished lungs!
+ I can sit or lay in one position for an extended period of time without pain and/or limbs falling asleep immediately.
+ I can wear my old clothes.
+ I can squeeze behind the computer chair to get to the things I need on the other side.
+ If I feel crampy or a sharp pain, I don't have to panic that something is wrong with the baby. It's probably just internal bleeding.
+ Now that my hormones have settled, the mood swings ad easy irritability are gone.
+ I am not constantly sweating and blasting the AC while my poor husband shivers.
+ I don't have a baby stretched out transverse across my stomach. I can't explain how annoying and painful that is.
+ I don't have a baby spinning around in my stomach and keeping me up at night.
+ I am back to having regular bowel movements. Aren't you glad you know that?
+ Time isn't moving crazy slow. I am not stuck counting down the days.
+ I don't have to sit and worry about the baby being breech or whether or not I will need a c-section. (Past Kaitlin, save yourself the stress. You will need one. Get over it).
+ I don't have to go to the doctor or the hospital 3 times a week for monitoring.
+ I get a new best friend. A perfect, beautiful angel to spend every day with.
+ I get to kiss her cheeks whenever I want. (And it's a lot)
+ I get to look into her eyes, which are so very much like her daddy's, and connect with her.
+ I get the final product of all those awful months of pregnancy. I get my baby here with me all the time!!!!
And we love her. A lot.
