TMI beware...

So, a warning, this is a little personal. It's not that I'm complaining (though Sean says I am doing more of that lately, and I admit it), but I thought that since the end was nearing I should maybe mention some of the things that I won't miss about pregnancy.

First though, despite all complaining that does happen, I will really miss carrying these babies. They are such a blessing, a gift from God, and I hope I can give them their best chance by carrying them as long as I can. There is nothing like feeling them move, and I'm the only one who will ever know what they feel like. I think feeling their movements is what I will miss the most when they are born. I will also miss eating whatever I want, even though I do try to make healthy choices. I will miss the quiet and the calm. And I love the expression on people's faces when I tell them there are three, priceless.

Now for what I won't miss... in no particular order, and I think these are true of most pregnancies, though some may be just mine. The 50 pounds I've gained so far. The laughter that erupts when I tell people there are three, and that continues when they learn it is all boys. Swollen feet and ankles. Constant lower back pain. First not being able to eat (morning sickness first trimester), then not being able to eat enough (second trimester), then not being able to eat everything that you want to because your stomach is squished and fills up fast (third trimester). A GI system out of whack... constipation vs. diarrhea. Hence, hemorrhoids. Heartburn, didn't even know that's what it was when you wake up in the middle of the night with the taste of vomit in your mouth. Not being able to sit with your legs together. Difficulty wiping. Barely fitting in a booth. The attractive moans, groans, and grunts that I make when I have to move a certain way or get up. Waddling. Not being able to sleep more than an hour at a time because of pain, discomfort, having to go to the bathroom, etc. Stretch marks. Lovely huh... that's all for now, maybe I'll add more as I think of them :)

And, a picture of me at my shower at 32 weeks...
