My Vagina & 9 Other Things I Miss Most During Pregnancy

Make mine a virgin. Who wants one?
I'm not one of those happy, smiley, everything is the best in the world kind of pregnant ladies. Not that there is anything wrong with being one -- it's just not me. Not yet.
Maybe in a week or two when I am into my second trimester, but I've been a pukey, pimply, cranky mess. Ah yes, a pukey, pimply, cranky, scared mama-to-be mess who is really happy to be pregnant. As you know, if you read this blog.
The other night, at about 3:34am, after getting up to pee and not being able to fall back asleep, I tossed and turned thinking about the things I miss most during pregnancy.
I know...I should shut off the brain and try to sleep. But it thinks without me! I try -- I even count sheep!
So here's my top 10 most missed things....
- Margaritas. I never even knew I liked tequila so much! I'm not a lush -- maybe it's because it's summer and it's fruitlicious. But, here are some mocktail recipes.
- My ankles. They barely exist anymore.
- Sex. I've been too nauseous to have it, yet I really want to have it!
- Bikini waxes. I don't like hair down there. Now I have hair everywhere and shaving isn't my thing. I shave, but it's not the same as waxing.
- My vagina. See 3 and 4.
- Sushi. Not that I was that adventurous, but I loved me a spicy crunchy tuna roll. Sure, I'm doing the AAC roll (avocado, asparagus, cucumber), but, again, it's not the same.
- Coffee. Ooh that second and third cup I used to have in the mornings or that mid-day cup of joe -- caffeine fixes were once my addiction. Now I'm addicted to wearing my Sea Bands.
- Staying up after 9:30pm. To think I used to go out until 2am sounds so crazy to me. Now that's when I get up for my first pee of the night.
- Riding my bike and rollerskating. I bought new rollerskates last year, but can't lace up and I love riding my bike around the park. Have to wait until next year when I'll be riding and rolling off the baby weight.
- Jeans. I wore jeans probably 300 days out of the year. I can't fit in mine and don't want to invest in maternity jeans just yet.
Don't worry. I'm not all gloom and doom. I have a list of things I love the most about pregnancy coming tomorrow.

It gets better! I swear! I wrote an entire blog about how miserable I was at about 15 weeks, and I referred to my baby often as "the leech" who sucked all of the nutrients, and energy out of me. Well I'm 26 weeks now and I am LOVING it! You get to eat again (no, not just chicken noodle soup and crackers!) and everything tastes SOOOOOO GOOD. I've been putting on weight like crazy and I didn't gain an ounce until I was 22 weeks. I remember crawling out of bed at noon, stumbling to the couch in the living room, and laying there until bed time. I went 3 weeks without making a home cooked meal. And hell, I even skipped showers because they took too much energy (which I admit, I still do now). But everything is a million times better now. You don't have long my friend until you can enjoy everything again!!!
I am 31-34 weeks pregnant. (Love doctors) I miss my feet,sex, not being hungry constantly, caramel iced lattes from DD, the occasional pina colada with my bff, carrying my daughter around, doing the laundry myself, and a lot of my independence!
I am 32 weeks and I miss Iced Cappuccinos, Mojitos, being able to shave down there, sex, being able to roll over, sleep, being able to keep up with my 3 year old.
I miss having balance to shave my legs, wearing any other shoes besides sandals and sleeping on my stomach. But I totally agree with margaritas, what's summer without one.
I totally agree...LOL
ditto. I miss staying up past 10pm...coffee...my favorite jeans...my cute innie belly button.
Uh there is so much I miss and hate about being pregnant it makes me want to cry. I am about 31 weeks with my first. (a boy!)
I can't sleep on my back any more. Which hurts really bad.
I can't even see down there to shave any more.
I'm not used to being big so I run into and drop EVERYTHING.
I'm a mess I cry alot (I never used to) I cry because I'm crying. :( That can't be normal.
I hate every mirror I see. I miss fitting into anything.
I don't feel pretty at all, I don't even turn my partners head any more. :(
I miss all my energy. I sleep way to much now days.
Oh and I miss be able to eat whatever I want.

I miss shaving my legs, I just don't have the stamina.
Painting my toenails in the summer, can't reach very well even without the watermelon sized belly in the way...
I miss being sane. I am a hormonal wackadoo. If I am not crying I am screaming.
I miss sleeping. No return of that in sight.
I miss fitting into my maternity clothes, but 6 more weeks to go, then they will fit again, at least for a few months.
