Things I will miss about being pregnant (in no particular order)
- Feeling the baby move in my belly
- Pregnancy nails and hair!
- The sound of Chuck's voice when he talks to the baby in my belly
- The feeling of never being alone
- Being waited on! :)
- Getting frequent pedicures since I can't reach my feet
- Unsolicited back rubs from Chuck
- The constant feeling of being so very lucky to have this experience
Things I will enjoy about not being pregnant any more (also in no particular order)
- Sleeping on my stomach and without hip and back pain
- Wearing pants with zippers, shoes that tie, and heels!
- Not having to always find the restroom where ever I go
- Recognizing my feet, ankles, and hands again
- Wearing my wedding rings!
- Watching stretchmarks fade - instead of ARRIVE!
- Being able to roll-over in bed without having to wake up, dress without grunting, get off the couch unassisted, and bend over to pick stuff off the floor!
- Snuggling with Chuck and the kitty (too many pillows and too much belly for any proper snuggling with either these days)
- Forgetting all of these minor things as soon as I see our baby for the first time. :)

I love your list of things you will miss about being pregnant. I "thought" I felt my babies move in my belly long after delivery (and I don't mean just days). Gee, guess it was gas? Those feelings were so special (and I'm not talking about the gas bubbles here). Continue taking your prenatal vitamins and maybe the good nails & hair will continue.
And you were right on with the "NOT" miss list too. Sleeping on the stomach was most greatly missed by me. I remember it all so well...and that was 24 yrs ago today. At my age now, I'm back to finding a restroom wherever I go. Funny how that happens.
Hang in there sweet Katie. Choo-Choo is about to introduce him/herself very soon. Love you.
