Top Tens
Top Ten Perks of Being the Baby Incubator:
10: An excuse to write a blog that people actually want to read.
9: Relating to other women in a way that I have not done before (after the whole experience I am sure I will have an even bigger appreciation for other moms, especially my own).
8: Lots of hardly-used-hand-me-down maternity clothes.
7: An excuse to nap every day.
6: An excuse to redecorate (apparently I like excuses).
5: People will go out of their way to accomodate you (although I am typically a do-it-yourself kind of person, I must admit there comes a time when you really appreciate this).
4: Foot rubs.
3: Emotional stability - believe it or not, my hormones seem to have done the opposite of what they say when it comes to mood swings, etc.
2: Sharing this time with a loving husband - we've never been happier!
1: Watching & feeling the baby move around inside.
Top Ten Things I am Most Looking Forward To (after the baby comes):
10: A break from the workload.
9: Taking & sharing pictures of my new baby (does that contradict the previous item?).
8: Getting back in shape - I miss exercise.
7: Ibuprofen (Tylenol never worked for me).
6: Visiting & sharing with friends & family.
5: Putting my ribs back where they belong, ow.
4: No more heartburn, no more heartburn!
3: Spending time with my wonderful hubby - as much as I can complain, he's been extra nice lately :)
2: Showing off Wonder Baby (it's true, I am a show off).
1: Meeting Wonder Baby in person.
Top Ten Complaints (I had to add this):
10: The challenge of tieing my own shoes.
9: Clumsiness.
8: Baby Brain.
7: Digestive system (I'll spare the details).
6: Nausea (thank goodness it only lasted 3-4 months).
5: Utter exhaustion.
4: Food sensitivities.
3: Sore Ribs.
2: Less sleep.
1: Heartburn.
Top Ten Wonders:
10: How will Willow (Wonder Dog) react to dropping in the ranks to a new family member?
9: Do we have everything we need for the first week or so?
8: How long before I send Rodd back to work?
7: How big will Wonder Baby be (more concerning, how big will his/her head be?)
6: Will Wonder Baby be an easy baby?
5: How labour will go for me?
4: Who/what Wonder Baby will look like?
3: Wonder Baby's gender.
2: Will Wonder Baby be healthy?
1: When will Wonder Baby decide to join the rest of us?
