We were leaving Walmart in our vehicle. We were driving by the very front of the store by the entrance you know? We got stuck because there were a lot of people crossing and of course, they have the right of way. Dang it! LOL Then this family stops right in front and mingles with some other people that were crossing opposite directions. You could tell they were having a , "Oh hi! How you been? Long time no see..." kinda conversation you know? With little kids hanging in the cart..! LOL I mumble "OMG, you've gotta be kidding me. MOVE aside people.... keep it moving!" After what seemed like forever, they realize we're stalled there waiting on THEM. So they slowly move... but then guess what? Another person walks by and then another and another.... AUGH. Then this lady walks by. A very pregnant WOMAN. BIG belly. You could tell she's ready to pop.
I watch her and say, "Whoah... she's ready to pop! OMG... I remember when I was like that..."
Joe stays quiet.
Ana: *sighs* I miss being pregnant
Joe: You miss being PREGNANT?! Why? You were on bedrest practically the whole time
Ana: I miss having a big belly...
Joe : [laughs} a big belly? [laughs again] Why do you miss having a BIG belly?
Ana: I miss not having to worry about your body image. Having a big belly was "cute". I looked cute pregnant. Now I have a "BIG BELLY" but it's not "cute".
Joe: [laughs] whatever... you don't have a big belly...
Ana: I just miss having that cute round belly and not having to worry about looking fat or anything. I miss that.
I really do! I think I felt most beatiful when I was pregnant. I was so happy with the way I looked more than ever. Isn't that weird? I felt "beautiful". And I actually LOST weight when I got pregnant. Not gained. As hard as that is to believe. I'm heavier now than I was at the end of my pregnancy! And I'm heavier than what I started AT before I got pregnant! How crazy is that??? I remember how I used to rub my belly... and feel her move. It was the most awkward feeling. But amazing at the same time. I'm so glad I recorded a lot of videos of my belly! I spent most of my pregnancy on bedrest, yes, but if I had to do it over again, I would! I almost have an itch for another baby. Most likely in the next few years we'll be doing IVF again. Sofia needs a little sister/brother. For sure. =)
aawww...same here...but like in 5 years. lol
ReplyDeleteI would love know what that feeling of having a baby belly,hehehheheeh. you and Karen both look so pretty and glowing when you were pregnant. I'm here in st george utah,starting my second day of my roadtrip to Montana. It's been going good so far missing the snow storms, which is good,lol. Should be at my mom's tonight or sat.
ReplyDeleteI loved being pregnant. I loved the feeling of having the girls move around and kick my belly.
ReplyDeleteAs far as getting a mommy body after the baby is born that takes work and time to get back what you had. It took a year after I had Mo. Longer after I had Sophia. Now they are 12 & 8 and I'm STILL working on it. LMAO!
I agree with Joe, you look great!
I think that's normal to miss being pregnant.. well, that's what I've heard, you know I don't know what that's like but I can see what you mean :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I miss being pregnant too. And guess what? My husband has the baby itch again!!! Me too but I have to mentally prepare myself. So I told him maybe we could try in a couple of months. I loved being pregnant. Having a baby move inside of you is the most "magical" and "surreal" feeling.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add YES Sofia needs a sibling!
ReplyDeleteLoL, I hate when chusma takes their precious time to cross!! I always speed walk it because I know the feeling.
ReplyDeleteAwww, how sweet!! I wonder what that feeling must be like... I hope one day I get the opportunity to find out. We'll have to chatt about IVF one day...if you don't mind of course.
I agree, I think every child should have at least one sibling. I tell my hubby we can have one and we can adopt another!! =o) Hugs and happy weekend!!
i dont miss it. not one bit.
ReplyDeletei hope to still be around when you decide to do it again, though. :D
