Life's Little Joys


I have so thoroughly enjoyed being unpregnant, I thought I'd share with you all the simple joys in my life since September 1:

1. I can lie on my stomach
2. I am wearing clothes I haven't worn since before the pregnancy
3. My wedding ring fits
4. My shoes fit
5. Having a higher collar/scarf/necklace doesn't make me feel like I will lose my last meal
6. No more nausea at all
7. Chicken doesn't make me sick
8. I can roll over unassisted
9. I can see my feet
10. I can hug my husband without bending forward to reach him
11. I can lift things without people freaking out on me
12. I have energy
13. I feel fabulous
14.  I haven't thrown up yet
15. It no longer occurs to me to waddle like a penguin
16. I no longer feel like a big waste of space 
17. I have something to do during the day/night
18. I don't feel nearly so unattractive as I have the past 9 months
19. I consider 5 hours of sleep a blessing
20. My belly no longer runs into things

Seriously, I could keep going for a while, but we have visitors coming, so I'd better quit. I LOVE not being pregnant!

Carli I'm not going to lie to ya, I think that we might be the same person! Seriously we might want to contimplate this more deaply. By the way I'm glad that Andrea can spell Granted right because I spell and pronounce it granite and Nate makes fun of me! I'm glad that you are unprego because you sure got a cute guy out of it all. Sorry I meant Handsome not cute.

I just realized that I spelled your name wrong. Obviously from the previous post this is nothing personal just add it the long list of Julienne's smart moments. Have I always spelled your name wrong? I swear I knew how to spell your name. I'm losing my mind
