absolutely.
Sleep. Sweet, sweet, sleep.
Leaving the house with just my keys and wallet.
Staying up past 10:00PM without batting an eye.
A mark free stomach.
Wearing whatever I wanted. There are just some things not worth trying to figure out how to nurse a baby in.
Vacationing with just one suitcase for the both of us.
Managable hair.
Showering leisurely on a regular basis.
Uninterrupted meals. Where I'm only responsible for feeding myself.
Eating later than 5:30PM.
Reading.
Alone time.
Yep. I remember all those things fondly.
But I can tell you this with 110% honesty...
I wouldn't trade a single second I have with Reuben for one more day of life before him.
hahaha I love you started this because I can totally imagine that convo going down with a mom and MIL (or other mom). And it's true! While I remember all those times vividly and fondly, I would still choose where I am now. And maybe add a vacation on the side. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh. Definitely a vacation. Always a vacation!
Deletei'm savoring my sleep before the baby arrives! my husband and i sleep in every day on the weekends. oh, i will miss it so!
ReplyDeleteSleep is DEFINITELY the thing I miss the most. My parents kept Reuben on NYE and my husband let me sleep in until 10:00 New Years Day! HALLELUJAH!!!!
DeleteIt's still worth it though, I promise! ;-)
I wouldn't trade my life with my two boys either, but oh do I look forward to sleeping in and uniterrupted meals! Oh to eat slow and leisurely. I savor every date night when I get to do that.
ReplyDeleteYES! To not have a little vulture (with a plate full of his own food) literally groaning for a bite of mine. hahaha
