I wrote this post the day before I had Theodore and never got around to posting it. So I'm posting it now, while I write his birth story for ya'll to read. I am happy to say I have completed a few of the items on my checklist below : )
1. Eat a hot dog. Don't ask me why but I am that shopper that goes to Costco and has to leave with a fountain soda and a hot dog with ketchup and mustard. I know what you're thinking, judge away but it is my guilty pleasure and I have avoided Costco for the most part because I couldn't have hot dogs while pregnant. I am so ready for a walk around Costco with my hot dog and my soda.
2. Shave my legs without gasping for air every 5 seconds. I am at the point where bending over is an incredible task that leaves me breathless and frustrated. I almost hit rock bottom and considered not shaving my legs, but that thought quickly went away. I will suffer and shave my legs and hope for the day that bending over to do simple tasks won't be such a workout.
3. Yoga. I absolutely love yoga and I love finding new classes but putting on extra weight during pregnancy makes it even more difficult to hold those poses. Not to mention the enormous belly I've been lugging around lately. This belly makes for a pretty strange looking downward dog pose and lots of heavy breathing, which totally takes away any relaxation factors that come along with yoga. Soon, very soon, I keep telling myself.
4. Shop for cute clothes and actually fit into them. This one will come in time, I know but I really do miss going shopping and buying cute clothes to wear. My maternity wardrobe for the last few months has been spandex, tank tops, flowy cardigans, and more spandex. Anything that stretches basically is my best friend right now. I'm itching for the day I can fit into my skinny jeans again, well maybe.
5. Drink a margarita. I'm not really a big drinker at all but for some reason I have been craving a margarita like it's my job during this pregnancy and not just any margarita but the frozen prickly pear margarita at one of my favorite places in Texas. I'm coming for you, soon, hopefully.
6. Sleep on my stomach! The simple joys in life, that's all I can say. Just sleep, should be one of them.
7. See what my little man looks like. This one is last but the most important. I have envisioned in my head what this baby will look like. I've wondered if he will have Penelope's coloring and similar features, the bright blue-ish/gray eyes OR if he will be darker like his daddy with dark eyes. I just can't wait to see this little person.
XOXO
