Things I Never Realized I Would Take for Granted

Being pregnant (especially 36 weeks pregnant) has made me realize all of the daily things that I most definitely have taken for granted and miss terribly:

  1. Being able to reach my legs and feet
  2. Putting on socks
  3. Putting on pants
  4. Getting dressed in general....
  5. Walking normally
  6. Breathing normally
  7. Being able to get out of bed without help
  8. Being able to get off the couch without help
  9. Sitting on the floor with the dogs
  10. Wearing shoes - seriously, I have one pair (minus flip flops) that fit me OK. Even my tennis shoes are ridiculously tight
  11. Taking baths - they help, but I have serious trouble getting in and out of the tub now
  12. Sleeping the entire night through (I know this won't happen again for awhile, but the baby isn't here yet... I should be able to sleep. Damn it)
  13. Being able to sleep on my stomach
  14. Being able to sleep on my back
  15. Being able to get comfortable in bed at all
  16. Exercising - I do about 8 yoga poses and feel as if I have run a half marathon at top speed
  17. Wearing different outfits - I wear the same 5 shirts, and same 5 pairs of leggings over, and over, and over, and over..... 
  18. Wearing my wedding ring *le sigh*
  19. Having motivation - I have none. 
  20. Caring about my appearance
  21. NOT having heartburn. OMG the heartburn.
  22. NOT being nauseous and wanting to puke every.single.day.
I'm sure I could sit here and think of more - and by all means feel free to add to this list - but these are mainly the things that I miss most right now.

24 more days..... or sooner.... please.... oh please be sooner....
