The top ten things I miss about pre-baby life:
- Not worrying so much. I worry about everything with Jane. I constantly am envisioning things that could happen that would hurt her and it's so scary!
- Being skinny and not having to do crunches, I hate crunches.
- Having time - more time for me, time for Dan, etc.
- Having more flexibility - everything's got to be planned now, no more "popping out".
- Sleeping. Just being able to go to sleep without worrying how much sleep I may/may not get.
- Not being so friggin' hot all the time! I'm constantly sweating and overheated.
- Not having to worry about my boobs leaking through my clothes...
- TMI alert - having control over my nether regions... Moms will know what I'm talking about.
- Having Dan sleep in the bed with me... I do miss him :)
Ok - I can't think of ten things... and the guilt I have about thinking up these 9 is insane. Maybe that's number 10 - I miss not feeling guilty about anything that could perhaps be misinterpreted as me complaining about Jane. TAH DAH! :p

I was the same way with number 1!! I would always think everything was going to hurt her or she was going to get germs! Everyone says "its worse with your first!" I don't know because I only have one child!
Oh, gosh.....I so understand. I think your #10 might be my biggest one. I love, love, LOVE - ADORE - my Leah and being her mama, but let's face it - things are NOT the same as they were! You can't help but think about how things were with a little bit of nostalgia, but I always tell myself that doesn't mean I don't love my daughter. I think just feeling guilty - PERIOD - is rough. Guilty about "me" time, guilty about complaining.....on and on.
I have 4 weeks to go until my 1st baby arrives and I already am completely in agreement with you! It's not selfish... it's just changing!!
Love the blog!
Davis hasn't even been born yet and still has about a week or so to go and I already feel this way. I think I've been stressing out about it way too much but can't help it. I wonder how much things will change between my husband and I, and I worry about sleep...not getting any. Sleep I mean.
