I, of course, am grateful to be able to carry little babies - but am I allowed to say a few reasons why I'm ready to be done being pregnant? I hope so.
I am so looking forward to sleeping. On my stomach. I remember that first night so clearly the day I came home with Gavin. It is so close I can taste it.
I am excited to not have to attempt to pop or rub my back every 5 minutes. I just think I get it taken care of when - bam! - it feels like a knife is stuck in there. Knives in the back don't feel good.
I would really appreciate having control over my bladder. I have a hard time not being in control of this. Don't tell me I'm the only one...
I have a new eating/workout regiment that I'm all ready to start. I'm excited to have my body to myself and then do something productive with it. Not that growing a baby is not productive - I think there's actually quite a lot to it. But I just want to make it healthy and look better. Hopefully better than it's ever looked before. Go me.
But mostly, when I'm done being pregnant that means I've finally been able to feast my eyes on another little miracle. I'm SO curious to know what he'll look like and be like. How will he be the same or different from Gavin? I'm sure it will be hard not to compare. I know that I will love his little guts out. Can I love another little boy like I do the one I've already got? I'm pretty certain I can. And I'm so excited to meet him.

I am so excited for your little one to come too, and most of all for all the reasons you listed. It was so fun to see you the other night. I'd love to chat about all that stuff again and what your plans are.
We're excited for your family as well. Have you chosen any names?
I can't wait to see the little guy and to see how Gavin likes him.
I've already started on my really long list of things to do. I guess if I start this early I just might get stuff done!
Keep taking those naps. They are much needed! Luckily, my boys have similar sleeping schedules and I can still take naps. I require a lot of sleep apparently.
Love you.
Dude, I did not know you were due so soon!
May I just say, the tummy sleeping is the hardest thing about being pregnant for me. And the really crap part is that it takes until about 6 weeks postpartum with my c-sections to be comfy on my tummy.
Also, I've napped A LOT more with this pregnancy than I ever have before. It involves some child neglect since Patrick doesn't nap but instead saves his TV or computer time for Kennedy's naptime so that Mommy can be sane and civil, but you do what you gotta do, you know?
Does baby boy#2 have a name yet?
