Re: GTKY
I miss being able to just hop in the car and go do things. It is difficult to be spontaneous with a child . And of course I miss sleep. It will never be the same again.
I enjoy watching my daughter grow and learn. She amazes me daily and I am such a proud Mama. I never knew I could love anyone the way I love her.
I need to work on taking time for myself. I am trying to more and more. I enrolled in classes so school will be for me and I want to get a treadmill.
I think teaching Ava Nichol new things is what came most naturally. Also, being in tune to her needs. I know what she wants or needs almost always. I was impressed with how naturally DH did with her basic needs. He also does awesome with bath time...that is daddy and me time for her.

What do you miss the most from pre-pregnancy? As much as I like maternity clothes, I can't wait to wear some of my pre-pregnancy pants again. I joke to Mike saying I can't believe I thought my belly was big before!!
What are you looking most forward to being a mom? Just feeling that amount of love that comes with having a child. And seeing Mike become a dad.
What are you looking forward to having again once you are not pregnant anymore? A drink or two and Sex.
After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big
Soon to be mommies-
What do you miss the most from pre-pregnancy? Not being afraid to eat! I'm afraid everything I put in my mouth will be bad for baby.
What are you looking most forward to being a mom? Not sure yet...it's so overwhelming right now! I think I'm looking forward to how our lives will change and be less work oriented, hopefully!
What are you looking forward to having again once you are not pregnant anymore? Wine and the meats and cheeses you eat at the wineries. We do them a lot over the summer and this summer, it's not happening.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.

can you tell I'm craving coffee?
Already Mommies-
What do you miss the most from your life before baby/is?
I miss being able to just decide to go to the local vineyard whenever we wanted.
What do you enjoy the most about being a mom?
Being able to witness first hand all of the awesome things she is learning to do.
What do you need to work on for being a mom?
I need to be better at being ok with the fact that I seriously barely have any "me time."
What just came naturally to you as a mom and what came naturally to DH?
I can naturally comfort her, and DH can naturally have enough energy to keep her engaged and happy.
I didn't drink coffee my entire first tri. The past two weeks, I've started having half a cup (give or take 4 oz.) a day just to satisfy the craving. I was like you and would drink up to 4-5 cups a day before pregnancy.
My high risk doctor I could have up to 10oz a day to stay within my caffeine limit for the day.
What do you miss the most from pre-pregnancy?
Honestly? I miss going to get pampered. I miss my nails and my hair always being cute. DH and my mom don't let me do anything so after LO is born I am taking a day to get pampered and to go shopping. I miss my buckle pants and high heels. LOL.
What are you looking most forward to being a mom?
Seeing her grow and DH has wanted a daughter for so long I can't wait to see how he is with her. I'm scared he's going to spoil her rotten. LOL.
What are you looking forward to having again once you are not pregnant anymore?
I look forward to having my body back!! Like Madeline said, I hate not being able to just do things without being worried about my belly being in the way. I also am looking forward to having some beer, wine, red bull, and enjoyable ST. (DH is scared that he is hurting her when we do have ST, so i try to avoid it now.....)
