A couple of ways I think my life might change in the next few weeks...
-I will no longer pray to "keep down breakfast." Yes, it's still happening!
-I will get more sleep: I know this sounds crazy, but when you have to get up 15 times a night to pee, getting up 3 or 4 times seems like a breeze, right?
-My body won't go into snooze mode at 7pm every night
-Climbing the stairs in my house won't feel like I'm climbing Mt. Everest
-My belly won't feel like it's 100 lbs.
-I will have another "cute" little excuse as to why my brain has refused to function properly
-I may have aches and pains in other areas though...
-Chasing after Claire won't feel like the Running of the Bulls
-Putting in a load of laundry won't cause my husband to ask "um, did you just run a marathon?"
-My clothes will start fitting again?
-I won't feel like a beluga (which is our "nice" term for "whale" around here, since they're "smaller" than the typical whale)
-I will stop chewing on ice chips (of course, this is AFTER my starvation day at the hospital)
-I may stop "breathing like a 400 lb man." Yes, this is my husband's description of the way I breathe these days. I love you honey :)
-I will put the "I give up muu'muu" away...until next time...if I could ever imagine letting myself have a "next time" in the near future...
-I might not feel like a deadbeat mom? Or maybe I'll feel that way still but in a different way?
-I'll have twice the mess, twice the comedy, and twice the love
-My new child might have a name...
-Might start cooking again (but don't hold your breath)
-I will stop having to "eat or throw up" every 20 minutes. Man, that will be nice!!!
-I won't have to think up creative reasons why I need to have this parasite extracted from my body early :) (CUTE parasite, I'm sure...don't get me wrong)
-I will have gone through 2 incredibly long and not-fun pregnancies...something I never imagined I was capable of! (when pregnant with Claire, I would see these moms with 2+ kids and think, "HOW."
-We will be more poor :)
-Claire will be in for the "single-child-syndrome" shock of her life! How to handle more tantrums....
-My face will start deflating to only one chin
-I won't be getting up at 2:45 a.m. for toast
Are some of these wishful thinking??? Maybe.
I guess I'll see...and maybe you'll get another inspiring post about it in a few weeks. Or, T-24 days, to be exact!

You had described pregnancy perfectly. I am still waiting for my other chin to go away.
Oh Janessa, your brings back to many memories for me. I'm so excited for you! Have you decided on a name yet? It's always good for me to read about your life and get caught up!
Wow, I can't believe it's almost been nine months already, that's CRAZY! Good luck with everything! I hope your little one's arrival is smooth and easy going.
Oh we should chat in the middle of the night. I pee at 2, 4, and 6. Hopefully we are just down to days at this point no more counting in weeks :)
Congrats on your new addition coming soon! I'm so jealous. I want another one! Haha. Can't wait to see pictures.
