With almost 3 weeks to go I have started dreaming about what life will be like after pregnancy. Some women seem to just breeze through the nine months like it's a small blip of time, like it doesn't take up 9 months of their lives creating this little human being. Of course, for a lot of women it probably doesn't disrupt their normal lives as much as it has for me this time around. The other boys....smooth pregnancies for the most part. Felt good most of the time. This time around? To sound a little optimistic, a little positive, we'll just sum it up by saying it's been the longest 8 1/2 months of my life. I'm not complaining here, I'm just stating fact. I'm just being honest. But I'm getting very excited that it's coming to an end. So, here are the things I've been dreaming about....

Meeting Baby Jack! I just wonder what he's going to look like. I think he'll have lots of dark hair like Taivan but with blue eyes like Noah. Of course, I'll love him no matter what he looks like!


Eating like a normal human being! Enough bland, simple meals. I'm ready to cook with garlic again and spices and eat pizza, pasta, or steak! Actually, I'm really excited to be able to have bagel sandwiches for lunch again!



Jumping! (Although I doubt it will be on a trampoline). I think I'll just jump around with my boys all the time. Jumping and playing and swinging!



Being a sane mom again. Actually, just being a mom again. I know adding a new baby will make life different for us, but there are a lot of things I have been missing with these boys and I'm excited to be a part of that again. Even just to be able to check on them before I go to bed and bend down and give them a kiss. I miss that.



Walking!! Seriously....walking. Walking around the zoo, walking around the mall, around the Discovery Center, taking walks around the neighborhood, walking to get the mail, walking up and down the stairs, walking around the grocery store. What will be like to be able to walk, walk, walk? I honestly can't even imagine!



Running! I can't imagine walking so running is even farther out there. With the bone and ligament problem I've had this time around I haven't been able to run at all, which is fine. But what will it be like to run? I can't remember the feeling. I'm so excited!



Hopefully looking like this again someday! Just feeling healthy and not hurting everywhere and not feeling yucky and sick every day. What will that be like? Just the thought of it is so exciting!! Yay!



3 weeks! 'Til then I'll just keep dreaming....
