About Being Pregnant Until I Got Pregnant Again
1.That total strangers will ask me how many months I am only to respond with a surprised “Wow, you’re really big!” And I will smile and say, “Thanks, I know” (what else can I say?? Ok, that's nice...:)
2.That getting into a comfortable position on the couch or in bed will *definitely* mean that I have to get up and go potty – over and over again
3.That I will miss not being able to see my feet when in a standing position- As a matter of fact, I'd like to take a moment to say "Hi!" to my feet right now - "Hi feet!"- they probably deserve a pedicure for all the extra weight they carry right now!
4.That I will crave Mexican food every day for nine months straight....mmmm.....salsa....(especially Pastor Trev's homemade stuff!!)
5.That pregnancy hormones will make me weep because my kitchen floor is dirty. Then my husband will ask me why I'm crying and lift his eyebrows into that "That's REALLY why you're crying?" pose..and then he'll sweetly clean it for me
6.That the thought of bending and lifting will seem like a monumental task – and that I will end up kicking the shirt from one side of the room to the other and then picking it up with my toes so that I don’t have to bend and lift anymore
7.That “being tired” when you’re pregnant is can’t–move-a-muscle-will-you-carry-me-to-bed tired. Thank you Lord for the magic that is my body pillow!
8.That a baby’s foot stuck in your rib-cage really hurts!!
9.That feeling that baby move inside is still one of the most amazing feelings in the world
10.That you can love your unborn child (in this case, my son) so instantly and intensely before you ever see them face to face
Please continue to place your hand over me and this little one Lord. Thank you for this life growing in me! :)

Those are great! Or should I say.. I really don't miss too may of those. :) I love your number 1 about strangers and how you respond. I can totally picture it and it makes me laugh! On a good note for you, I do believe I am having Trev's salsa tonight. If there are leftovers I will be sure to get them and bring them to you! :)
I'll never forget any of the horrible things about being pregnant! I'm glad you are able to keep your sense of humor about it. :)
Oh, how I relate - currently number 6 and 9 the most.
:0)
Trying to get out of bed or out of a chair has been really rough lately - I'm finding new ways to do it though (although not always pretty)! Ten months of pregnancy and all that comes with it is certainly worth the blessing that comes at the end. I can't wait to meet your little blue pickle.
