Things I used to hate before I was pregnant:
*Steak: I could eat steak almost every night and the way B prepares it is divine. Tip? Use sea salt to salt the meat with other seasonings instead of regular salt.
*Not wearing socks to bed: Aside from VERY hot summer days, I rarely ever went to bed without socks on. This used to bug bestie when we were roomies as she could not even fathom the thought of wearing socks to bed, even in the dead of winter. Well I am here to say that I now rarely ever wear socks to bed and I looooovve the way that feels.
*Showering/hot showers: I have never liked showering mostly because it just takes up so much time and I am NOT a high maintenance person when it comes to beauty. Yes, I would get clean and I liked that feeling, but I could never understand why B would just stand in the shower for 10 minutes because "it feels good". Now I totally understand and not only do I really enjoy my showers, I take super hot showers. I think this also became something I liked when I noticed how much Mister loves when I am in the water. He groves like he is a little fish and I hope he loves baths that much when he gets here.
*A Lack of Manners: I've got to be honest here. I cuss like a sailor and burp and fart like a college guy. Yes, folks, this drives B crazy to no end and at times, even me. If I hold anything in, I am literally in physical pain. B does not want me to be in pain. The only problem is, which I have mentioned before, that never in my life have my farts been so rank I get up and leave! It is unbelievable and I really hope that gets better post baby.
Those things are the most obvious to me that have changed and I am pretty sure most of those will stay the same, minus the manners. I want to get those back.
Next, here is a day in the life. What we do while we wait for a baby as I am sure many of these things will change VERY soon.
Work day:
6am: alarm goes off
6:15am: out of bed, get dressed, do hair and make-up, brush teeth
6:30am: (I told you I was low maintenance) Eat breakfast, feed dogs, check FB
6:50am: Leave for work
7am: Get to work
12pm: Go home for lunch, which B usually makes me, put feet up and watch A Baby Story
1pm: Back to work
3:15pm: Home from work
3:30-6ish: Watch Gilmore Girls, play around on the net, write a blog, create a music playlist, relax on the couch
6ish: Dinner (usually made by B or ordered in)
7ish-10pm: Relax, crochet, read, watch shows...
10pm: Go to bed
Non-work day:
8-9am: Sleep in, make breakfast, start a load of laundry
9am-whenever: Rest, nap, read, crochet, nap, watch a movie, play video games with B, nap, finish laundry, EAT....
Basically, I don't do a whole lot when I am at home and I like that as I am usually sore, tired and hungry and the thought of doing much else is not very appetizing. So I know this will all change and maybe sometime after mister comes I will do something similar and see how different things are. I currently feel like I am in limbo, waiting for the most life-changing thing to occur while I am still living and doing my daily routines. It's surreal and awesome and totally making me impatient. I sat in front of the TV tonight and squatted and while I squatted I swayed, hoping to open things up and get things moving some more. Send me labor dust people!
