My doctor told me today that after 8 days from now, I could go into labor any time and be fine, and her guess is I won't go the full 40 weeks. While that sent me into a mild panic because there is still no floor in Chloe's room, the crib is in pieces in the garage, we still have to buy a mattress, and my front room looks like a Babies R Us exploded in it, it started me thinking about what I am looking forward to after the baby is here (besides the obvious deep and lovey ones, like meeting my daughter.) In no particular order, a list of those things:
1. Breathing
2. Walking as opposed to waddling
3. No more *&%^(**&^%^% heartburn!
4. Not having to pee at 2 AM on the dot
5. Having a beer with my little bro
6. Eating an Italian sub from Publix, maybe with an Angry Orchard to wash it down
7. Sushi
8. Brie. A whole freakin' wheel just for me. And maybe a glass of riesling to wash it down.
9. No more *&%^(**&^%^% heartburn!
10. No more foot cramps
11. No more round ligament pain
12. Did I mention no more *&%^(**&^%^% heartburn?
13. Margaritas with my girls
14. No more nausea
15. No more weird food aversions or cravings
16. And oh yeah... No more *&%^(**&^%^% heartburn!
