Five Things I Still Haven’t Done Now That I’m Not Pregnant
At the end of July I wrote about five things I couldn’t wait to do once I was no longer pregnant.
So far I have done exactly zero of those things.
Why? I’m still adjusting. I haven’t done a ton yet besides love on Baby H and take care of our general needs as a family.
But I am still looking forward to doing these five things again.
Drinking a margarita. This is primarily due to the fact that I’m exclusively breastfeeding and just have not yet found the time to have a drink between feedings.
Taking a bike ride. I still really do miss this one. If I get a ride in this season it is going to have to be after I get the okay from my doctor. Next week is my 6 week postpartum checkup so it could happen soon.
Eating yummy soft cheeses like Brie and fresh mozzarella. This needs to be remedied soon. Like tomorrow. You have been warned fresh mozzarella.
Playing Just Dance. Again, waiting for the 6 weeks postpartum checkup. Although, a week or two before I gave birth I did put the game on and dance along with a song or two. It was great.
Sleeping on my stomach. I miss being able to sleep on my stomach. My boobs are still preventing this from being a truly remarkable experience.
How about you? Have you done the things you couldn’t wait to do once you delivered your baby?
Don’t forget these 9 awesome things you can do after birth!

Jenna commented on Oct 10 11 at 8:56 pmI also had a baby a few weeks ago, I haven’t done a lot of the stuff on my list either… like you most of them I’m waiting for my postpartum check up. I have been greatly enjoying sleeping flat on my back though… which ironically is now the only way I can sleep since my son refuses to sleep anywhere except on my chest. Be careful what you wish for. :)
