Dear Baby

After spending last weekend in the presence of my adorably 6-months pregnant sister in law, and watching her constantly run her hands over her belly, I starting reminiscing on what was my favorite things were about being pregnant. While I love not having to pee every ten seconds, sleeping on my stomach, and fitting into my favorite dresses - there are a few things that I really miss. Here’s my list:

1. Feeling Everly move in my belly every time I laid down to sleep.

2. Having perfect strangers smile at me constantly and offer congratulations.

3. As my friend Jess pointed out yesterday, those awesomely comfortable maternity jean waistbands

4. Constantly wondering what she would look like and whose features she’d inherit.

5. Having an excuse to eat all the chocolate haagen-daz I wanted (In effort to drop my baby weight, I’ve barely eaten ice cream at all since she was born, boo hoo)

What do you miss most about pregnancy?

Love,

M
