Aleve, boy do I miss that stuff! Tylenol might as well be tic-tacs!

Re: Official list of things you took for granted before pregnancy - add yours

sleeping on my belly

....after a night of indulging in wine

Re: Official list of things you took for granted before pregnancy - add yours

Shaving all areas in need without having to become a contortionist.

Sitting with my legs closed.

Breathing. It seems to difficult to do these days but I know it is essential so I push through it

Wine and whine. Wine because I miss it. And whine because I feel like no one cares when I complain anymore. Pre pregnant everyone cared since it was so few and far between.

Rolling over in bed. Now when I roll over I have this gush of pressure and every bone in my body snaps crackles and pops.

Peeing. Used to only happen 3 or 4 times a day. And I always had the satisfaction of relief. Now I could pee 3 or 4 million times a day and I'd still feel like I have to pee.

My ankles...my beautiful beautiful thin ankles that I never knew were so lovely until I realized it's possible for ankles to be so swollen that they appear to have muffin tops!

Re: Official list of things you took for granted before pregnancy - add yours

Being able to get in and out of the car with out it taking 5 minutes of adjusting.

Sleeping at night with out having to get up to pee every 15 minutes.

NOT having Hemorrhoids (ouch)

Walking up and down the stairs with out feeling like I ran a damn marathon.

Walking with out it feeling like everything inside me was gonna just fall out!

and not feeling like shamoo!

I could go on and on and on.........

Re: Official list of things you took for granted before pregnancy - add yours

Sleeping...rolling from side to side now makes me feel like an egg in a carton, especially with all the pillows!!

Coughing..now it not only brings a chance of pee, but it hurts like a mother since having bronchitis did something to my rib...ouch!

Moving at more than a snail's pace, actually getting things done at the rate I am used to...

~ indulging in a glass of sangria with dinner.

~ sneezing or coughing without peeing a little.

~ being able to sleep comfortably every night for the whole night.

~ laying on my back or stomach.

~ my memory. I feel like I can't remember anything!

Seeing down there and being able to manage it.

Wearing a bikini/ my pre preggers body...don't know if that'll ever happen/come back again.

The wonders of cold medicine

A good cold cut sandwich whenever I want...which used to mean everyday.
