Reflecting

I was thinking about how lucky I have been to have had two sucessful, uncomplicated pregancies and how this one will most likely be my last. That thought makes me a little sad since I really enjoy being pregnant, with the exception of the last few weeks this time around. So, here are just a few things I won't miss and a few of the things I will. I'm trying really hard to focus on the positive at this point, but it's hard so I hope I can look back and always remember how I felt.

Things I won't miss:

• People asking me how I am feeling every.single.day of my life
• The extra attention
• Stretched, sore skin that HURTS - BAD!
• Heartburn
• Being so tired that I can't stay awake while my little boy wants to play. It makes me so sad.
• The "When are you due?" question
• The stupid comments I get regarding how big or how small people think I am or should be carrying twins.
• Weight gain
• Wearing the same clothes every.single.week
• The sympathy looks that have recently started when I am in public that very obviously say, "that poor girl..."

The things I will miss:

• The anticipation of each & every doctors appointment.
• Feeling the babies move as they grow and develop inside of me. I cherish this time with just us.
• Finding out the good news and sharing it with Matt. Even when it's not planned, it always becomes obvious that this was part of God's plan.
• Gavin giving the babies "loves" on my belly. It's so cute.
• Fairly easy, uncomplicated pregnancies
• Seeing the pride on Matt's face as he finished the nursery & all the hard work that went into it. He's so talented.
• Knowing that there is a 99.9% chance that I will never be pregnant again.
• The miracle of life and how amazing it is to really think about how magnificant all of this really is.
