Is it time yet?

He is SO close but still SO far...

Things I will miss about being pregnant:

• Feeling this little guy move around like crazy
• When he gets hiccups at night
• When I haven't felt him for a little bit cause I'm busy doing something and then I sit down and feel him move, it's like a breath of fresh air.
• Having a human grow inside me. I still can't believe our bodies are designed to do this.
• The looks people give me. (some bad...but MOST good)
• The random conversations I will have with people every single day.
• The natural notion people have to come up and touch my belly
• Waiting in line at a public restroom and the ladies in front of my let me go ahead of them. (they must know the feeling)
• Using my belly as a table. Or a place to set my phone when I'm on speaker. HA
• Going to the doctors and seeing him move around on the little screen.

Things I will not miss about being pregnant:

• Waking up a couple times a night to go to the bathroom
• Sleeping on my "left" side with tons of pillows shoved between my legs
• Getting charlie horses all over
• Opening a door or getting up from a table without hitting my belly on something
• Doing the awkward bend over to pick something up.
• Moving slowing in and out of the car.
• Just walking...I can't wait to go running again!!!
• Not being able to see my feet.
• Stretchy pants...even though maternity pants have been a lifesaver (if you are pregnant and holding out just because you don't want to buy them i would highly suggest changing your mind...they are amazing!) BUT...I'm really excited to zip or button something up again. I feel like I wear the same things every day.
• Unfortunately I did get some stretch marks, not horrible but they itch and I am excited to not have that feeling anymore.
• And I wonder if my belly button will go back to normal?
• Giving Pehrson a front hug without bending over a little.

That's all I can think of right now...i'm sure there are a million more for each one. But these are the ones on the top of my list. We are just days away. Woohoo! I know i keep saying that in every post but it's true this time. We are almost there. Baby Hawkley is just saying his last good-byes up there. We love you so much little guy. We can't wait to hold you! Now come already. (Preferably thursday afternoon after your daddy's finals are over)
