I miss this.

When I was pregnant, it felt like a lifetime. Not because I didn't enjoy it, or because I felt miserable (I didn't), but because I couldn't wait to be a mother. Now that I am a mom, I terribly miss being pregnant. Funny how that works!

I loved being pregnant. It was an amazingly easy pregnancy. My biggest complaints were joint pain and heartburn. I miss having wonderfully thick hair, a cute belly to dress, an excuse to eat whatever I wanted, feeling kicks of my unborn baby, watching a baby move and flip in my belly, and not having to "suck it in". Of course, theres many more aspects that I loved, but I think it makes me sad that I barely remember what it was like to be pregnant. Next time around, if there is a next time, I will cherish it much much more.

I don't know if I ever shared these photos, but these were taken less than a week before Everett was born.
