The Real Pregnant Woman

I am on my 6th month already, and until today, i am still overwhelmed by the reality that there is a human being growing inside me. Its still amazing how God made the woman's body to make another person, complete with organs and bones. Sometimes i wonder if the milk i am drinking or the meds i am taking actually contributed in making the eyes or the ears...but then again, its a miracle. Although the joy and happiness of having a child is incomparable, unexplainable and wonderful, for a woman like me who never expected to be a mom, there are things i do miss...a lot.                                            

1. wearing high heeled shoes
2. fitting into my skinny jeans and tank tops
3. getting my nails done with red nail polish
4. drinking coffee or tea
5. running and going to the gym
6. going home late
7. traveling
8. NOT going to the bathroom so often
9. my engagement ring on my thin fingers
10. eating what i want when i want
11. drinking meds only because i'm sick
12.  believing that milk are only for kids
13. get my regular size bra and underwear
14. sleeping on a different position
15. making love in different positions
16. not getting tired too much too quickly
17. laughing without feeling the urge to pee or fart
18. getting my hair colored in a salon
19. NOT feeling sleepy all the time
20. shopping for myself

I'm not saying I don't like being pregnant...i actually love it. What is there not to like when you have moms-to-be perks wherever i go. People are actually more kinder and I get spoiled more. But this is reality of being knocked up. There are a lot of sacrifices to make for the love of my life.my son, zac.
