Yep, I'm on bed rest. I'm so bored. I'm very thankful that I didn't close my Netflix account when they went up on their prices because it has become very handy during these last few days. Vampire Diaries has been playing for the past 48 hours. I don't even really pay attention to it, but it's nice to occasionally look up and get an eye full of Ian Somerhalder. My mom is pretty much a nazi when it comes to my bed rest. Every time I get up.. "Maggie! What are you doing? Where are you going!?"...... TO THE BATHROOM! I love her for it, though! This last month has been trying for me. I'm sure it's like that for every pregnant woman. I'm so huge. I don't even fit into my maternity clothes anymore. It's horrific. So, I have decided to share my list of things I'm excited about doing after I deliver this human being. Obviously, the number one thing I can't wait for is to love on my baby girl. This is my personal list. Not really baby related. I am still allowed to do and think about non-baby related stuff, right? Ok, here goes.
- Sleep. YES, I KNOW.. I won't be sleeping a whole lot right now. I get it. It's not even about the sleep.. I guess I'm more excited about just laying down and having the option to roll over if I want.
- Wearing shoes again. I have worn one pair of shoes throughout my entire pregnancy due to swelling. They were the ONLY ones that fit my ever growing feet.
- Working out. I know it will be a few weeks before I'm able to start working out again, but I CAN'T WAIT to getting busy getting my body back.
- Taking baths. AHHH.. I love taking baths now; however, it's not easy. Its quite hilarious watching myself get in and out of the bathtub. Its a difficult task.
- My hair. I have heard that after the baby is born some of my hair may fall out. Please do, hair. I have an over abundance of you right now, and I would love to get rid of SOME of you. Thanks.
- I'm ready to feel normal again. I know it's going to take a minute, but there must be some relief right after because of the lack of human being inside your body. Here's to hoping.
- Regular potty schedule. No need to explain that one.
- Last but not least... I want to feel pretty again. It's true. Little girls steal their mothers beauty. I just look and feel blah, and it's time to start looking and feeling fabulous again!
Now, of course, I absolutely will miss having Tatum inside my tummy. I didn't think I would, but it's going to the strange not having her literally by my side 24 hours a day. The hiccups are kind of annoying, so I won't miss that so much, but feeling her move is the coolest feeling ever. I can't wait for her to be here. Only 2 more days! I can't believe it. Please, everyone, say a little prayer for Tatum and I. I guess my next blog will be after my precious angel has arrived. WOW.
