What I didn't miss about being pregnant

insomnia... now that we got Kayla to sleep through the night I'm waking up 2-3 times every night! So frustrating!


this in between time... where I'm not really showing, just look fat, but I'm not sick anymore so there's nothing to "prove" that I'm pregnant. Also, this is the time when nothing fits! The maternity clothes are still a little big, the regular clothes are a little small.


pregnancy brain... at least three times a week I have to back track to my house 3 minutes after leaving it to make sure I closed the garage door. I always have, but I never remember if I did.


being sick (cold sick, not nauseous sick) while pregnant... you're limited in the medications you can take, if you feel comfortable taking any. Since my cold has turned into a sinus infection I'll be calling my doctor begging for meds in the morning.


worrying, all the time... not that I expected this time to be any different. I'm constantly questioning if everything is okay, what medicine I can take, what I can and cannot eat... with Kayla I was planning this and had prepared and read the appropriate amount of information, now all that has been forgotten and I don't have the books to refer to anymore. Thank God for the Internet!


I guess there's not a lot to miss about pregnancy when you have good ones, but just a few things that are frustrating even with the easy ones. I'll be really happy in a few weeks when I'm really showing and really feeling the little one - those, I believe are the best parts of pregnancy!
