8 things to enjoy during your last weeks of pregnancy
by Melissa Willets posted in Pregnancy
Okay, I'll admit it. Lately, I've been guilty of complaining, ahem, nonstop actually, about my third trimester aches and pains.
"My back hurts. I can't take it anymore."
"I'm exhausted. But I can't sleep for more than a few hours because I have to get up to pee!"
"My wedding rings don't even fit anymore my fingers are so fat!"
"I'm so sick of my maternity clothes. Ugh!"
But this morning when I woke up, something dawned on me. This is probably my last pregnancy, and I've been so preoccupied with what hurts, and what I can't do, I'm forgetting to enjoy this precious time I'll never get back. So I put together a list of all the things I know I'll miss about being pregnant, and I'm determined to enjoy them as I enter the home stretch before my baby's arrival.
Baby kicks! This one is a no-brainer. Although my little one's movements are admittedly getting so strong it makes me jump, feeling your baby move inside of you is perhaps the most glorious privilege of pregnancy.
The help! I'm pretty sure my husband and kids won't dote on me quite as much once I'm fully able-bodied and have no excuse for not getting up off my butt to make my snack, or pour my own drink. I love all the attention my loved ones are showering upon me, and I'm going to soak it up now before their goodwill runs out.
Foot and back rubs. Speaking of special love and attention, pregnancy is a time for your partner to dole out massages...
