No not me! But someone I know just found out she is pregnant with baby number 3. My daughter's response, "Pregnant already? Again? Did she mean to do that?" Too cute. Although I very recently just went through all that being pregnant stuff and have a new wonderful baby to show for it... it's hard not to be a little jealous.
I would like to point out that being pregnant is the most amazing, wonderful, joyful and incredible experience anyone could ever have. However, after being pregnant for so long you miss certain things you once took for granted.
This is to remind myself how happy I am to not be pregnant!
Things I wont be taking for granted:
Eating deli meat. Oh, how I missed deli meat. (Although I have a new love for chicken salad.)
Eating cookie dough.
Eating homemade Caesar salad.
Eating all the things on the very long list of things you can't eat while you are pregnant.
Painting.
Sleeping on my stomach.
Sleeping on my back.
Drinking a nice cold beer.
Drinking a glass of red wine.
More importantly... drinking coffee. (Oh how I missed you sweet, wonderful coffee!)
Painting my own toes.
Being able to see my ankles.
Wearing high heels.
Being able to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath.
People stop comparing me to a waddling duck.
Being able to pick up Chloe!
Not waking up 15 times a night to pee! (Instead, waking up 2 - 3 times a night to feed and snuggle with cute baby!)
Watching the number on the scale going down instead of up.
Of course it is all totally worth it to give up all these things. Especially when:
You hear the heart beat for the first time.
Feel those kicks and somersaults inside of you.
Decide on a name.
Decorate a nursery.
Have a big ole round belly to rub!
Your husband treats you like a queen.
You feel no guilt when you eat an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream... in one sitting... at 3am.
And, of course, nothing is greater than holding your new baby for the first time... the 10th time... the 1000th time....
Ahh the joys of being pregnant and having babies!! Ok, I guess I'm still a little jealous. No... jealous is not the right word... I am just so incredible happy for this person and her growing family!
