I'm going to miss...
...being pregnant. Even though I'm starting to get uncomfortable, I'm going to miss it. I wish there were some way to record this feeling, bottle it up, so that when Charm is 7 and tearing my house apart, I can open it up and relive it all again. It's some kind of magic, this pregnancy-thing. And I like it.
Ok, I'm getting to be one of those sappy-preggos that I always hated!! It's just that I know that my time is limited, and I don't want to take even a moment for granted. But I do apologize for the sappiness!!

Nope, you're not a sappy-preggo. You will miss being pregnant (I know I did!). On the other hand, look forward to good things like sleeping on your tummy (albeit only for a few hours at at time!!!!!) again! Smiles and hugs!!!
Although I've never been that far yet I can imagine that once you make it to almost 9 months you don't want it to end. I can't believe how fast time is gone, you should be able to savour the joys of pregnancy as long as you want!
FYI, I go back through your blog every once in a while and read your entries for wherever I'm at in my pregnancy and it's amazing how similar the emotions are. It's done a lot to help me feel better, so thank you!

I remember when I was pregnant with Chip. I was so innocent then. I had never had a loss .. or any fear of it. Ignorance was bliss. I remember being so sick and tired of being pregnant. I mean he was measuring 39 weeks at only 36 .. so I was big .. I was on bedrest and I was miserable. I just wanted him out. Any way possible. I remember being 2 days post partum and looking at Charles and telling him that I missed being pregnant. He looked at me like I was smoking crack. He said "I wish I had a tape recording of you last week!!!". But it was true, as much as I had whined and complained I really truly missed that one on one bond that I had with Chip before birth. Before he was born .. he was all mine, afterwards .. I had to share him with the world. Enjoy each and every day .. even when your uncomfortable :) You really will miss it when it's gone.
nah~ you aren't a sap! I think I'll miss it too, even though it has been SUCH a rollercoaster ride. Think about it... we spend so much time getting pregnant and staying pregnant it's hard to imagine not doing that and enjoying a little life to hold! You've been through a lot to get to this point, it makes total sense to me why you would miss it. It is truly a miracle! Sometimes I think, gosh- it's crazy that right now everywhere I go and everything I do Brady is with me. That is special-- how could one NOT miss that?? :)
That is so awesome how you feel. Bottle that up and savor it. I on the other hand hate being pregnant. I can't wait until my little guy gets here. I love my son and I love the fact that I am carrying another son, but I could deal with this pregnancy being over as long as the reward is a healthy full term baby. I'm jealous of those of you who I am certain "glow" during pregnancy.
I miss being pregnant. I miss feeling my hard belly and I miss the kicking inside. I don't miss all the pain --but I totally know what you mean.
I was holding Liam today and thinking my back was going to break from holding him too long and then it was the weirdest feeling to realise that last week at this time I was holding him in my belly--and that he was EXACTLY the way he is now only inside of me. Its sooo weird. Enjoy every last minute that you can...=)
