10 Things I Will Miss About Being Pregnant
1. All that attention and fuss from family, relatives, friends, colleagues and even strangers!! Let’s not forget the gifts, emails, calls, text asking about my progress etc. How I feel loved 
Have you noticed how difficult it is to actually hate a preggie?? We’re a loveable bunch I tell you.
2. Strangers smiling at my bump and stopping to make small chat about my pregnancy while trying to guess the gender of the baby at the same time :D To date only a FATHER of four got it right. Everyone else thought I was carrying a boy!!
3. Bossing the husband around and using the pregnancy as an excuse to get out of household chores and everything else 
4. Pigging out and having NO guilt whatsoever coz I tell myself what I eat – my baby benefits from it That or the baby is making me crave it.
5. Free massages from my mom and husband. Sometimes I don’t even have to ask
6. Taking countless days of medical leave because I have a damn good reason. Yes it’s 17 days and counting as of today.
7. Saying good bye to the most comfie clothes ever - maternity clothes. And of course granny panties and maternity bras. Hmm, on seconds thought I might just hang on to these granny panties!
8. Not bothering about dressing up because I can’t be arsed.
9. Not caring in the world about putting on weight or how I look like because no one checks out a knocked up woman, unless they’re somewhat demented.
10. My baby’s kick and punches in my tummy and of course my monthly ultrasound scan. It’s been a journey watching her grow from the size of a peanut to a baby of 2.8 kgs and counting!
10 Things I look Forward To After Giving Birth
1. Meeting and spoiling my mini me!!
2. Getting back into shape. I can’t wait to be able to finally fit into my old clothes AND buy new ones :) Oh dresses that show off the curve – how I yearn to wear them again.
Karen Millen – I got my eyes on you!
3. To be able to see my long lost vagina and toes again. HELLOOOOO girls! It’s time you and I get reacquainted again 
4. Free from back-pain – I can finally store away the deep heat rub cream and painkillers and say good bye to being miserable.
5. Alcohol – okay so not in mass quantities anymore, but maybe a glass once in a while?
5. To be bump free!! Don’t get me wrong, as much as I love being pregnant, I also miss being bump free. The strain from this 8th month is REALLY getting to me.
6. To be able to do my OWN toe nails (although I’ve secretly come to enjoy pedicures done in nail saloons)
7. To see the joy again in going to a cinema again coz I can finally sit through a movie without cursing and lamenting about my back/bump/bum pain.
8. Making trips – albeit not so spontenous anymore but still………..dont have to stare at Airasia’s bargain deals and sigh with envy while cursing all those lucky f*ckers who bought tickets at a steal. I’m such a sore person that way.
9. Getting my lion mane sorted!!! OMG this should be number 2! It’s been MORE than a year since my hair came in contact with any sort of chemicals and it surely looks the part 
10. Pow-ing something expensive from the hubby for getting me knocked up! Suggestions are most welcome :D I”m thinking of a Gucci bag or some $ for a shopping spree. The husband has already promised to give me RM1 to match every 1 gm of the baby’s weight. And we both suspect Baby S could go up to 4kgs. No I am not stuffing myself on purpose just to make her fat.
You do the maths
3.5 weeks to go before we take on a new exciting role and be reponsible for this brand new life. It’s scary and exciting at the same time.
in fact i was just thinking earlier today how i miss the perks of being preggie… all the food, attention and not to mention carry my little one everywhere with me
Well there’s always baby no 2, ahem
Oohhh but the other side of the coin is that you get to say “I carried your child” to the hubby. According to my married male friends, that’s a sure winner.
Take the shopping spree… *cough* Singapore Christmas sale *cough*
Yea definitely am going to use that statement alot when I want things to go my way, hehe.
Hmm, now that’s a pretty good idea. Only thing is – have to get into shape by then la.
Lol, I loved it when you said that you missed your vagina, for the time being.
LOL yes, it’s been a while since I last saw em, haha.
I’d go for a Gucci OR a princess cut solitaire. Ahem.
Let me see if I can try to squeeze in both, hehe.
I’d go for jeweleries! Definitely jeweleries!
I’d go for that too but I’m pretty clumsy when it comes to jewerly – I dont take good care of em.
Hmmm…. Sound interesting. LOL. I like ur pros and cons bout being pregnant. So creatively written :o)
Oi there are no cons, lol, well except for my back ache and what not. Ah well, 3 weeks to go!
i like #6 – countless medical leave, hehe :P
Thanks
As of this week, its 18 days and counting 
hahaha… i really like this entry!
