As much as I have been enjoying feeling this little peanut squirm around and kick inside of my belly, I must say, there are quite a few things I've been missing and that I'm looking forward to enjoying once she joins us. Here's just a few...
Tim Horton's Iced Capp. I must say, I really only treat myself to maybe one or two a summer (because for a medium made with milk it's STILL 220 calories), so there is plenty of time left for me to enjoy them... and let me tell you... I CANNOT wait!

Cold beers on sunny patios. Let's all agree now... cold beers + sunny patio (or a dock at a cottage... or a back deck... or anywhere warm and sunny for that matter) = best part of summer. In my case, I'm anxiously awaiting my first nice cold Sam Adams Summer Ale, or Rickards White ANYWHERE sunny...

Bikini's. Pregnancy has been kind to me (and I've done my best to try and eat as healthy as possible throughout it). Any weight I gained above and beyond our little peanut should come off pretty easy with some extra healthy eating and exercise... but I still don't think I'll be sporting any of my cute bikini's this summer. (But I guess that just means I can indulge and buy some cute one's next summer?)

And I know what you're thinking... if I'm enjoying Iced Capps and Beers... how do I expect to look like that? Trust me, I'm not THAT disillusioned... AND I don't particularly want to look like a surfboard in a bikini... I just miss bathing suits (and my parents pool).
Eggs Benedict. Yet another item that won't get me back into that bikini any faster, but I can't even begin to tell you how many times we've gone out for breakfast and I feel like I'm "settling" when I have to choose something other than delicious eggs benedict! I've told B that this is the first breakfast I'd like after baby comes... with some smoked salmon instead of ham... YUM!

Sushi. Do I really need to say anything more than that?

What did you miss most when you were pregnant... or for those of you expecting, what do you miss most now?
You just listed all my favourite things minus rollerblading- I will never be a surfboard in a bikini haha- (jk don't tell my trainer that) mmm - so glad you finished work and can rest up and prepare for baby :) xo
ReplyDeleteOh... coffee. That's really all I missed. But I sure did miss it a lot!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for bikini weather. It's still too cold here but I got that pink one (in black) from H&M last year, I love it!
ReplyDeleteSushi - for sure....sandwiches - I like a cold-cut combo once and a while...
ReplyDeleteMostly I miss being skinny...I just can't get into my curves...
a whole year? are you kidding me? oh my gosh, i feel like america does not know about this. prepare to be invaded, canada...although not by me. no babies here.
ReplyDeleteI was pregnant in the winter so I didn't miss bikini weather ( although I definitely didn't wear one in summer either, I wasn't ready). But I did miss Tim Horton's and clear skin(my skin got really bad).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the year off!!! it will go fast!
Funny, we lived in Ottawa at the same time. I was there from 2004-2006. Definitely missed the sushi and wine when I was pregnant. I only gave up caffeine the first go round, the other two times I limited myself to one coffee in the am. Needed the energy to deal with the other kids, haha.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your year!
Hoorrray!! You are on maternity leave!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have never been pregnant (obviously), there are some things that I did miss while Amanda was pregnant... like going out & celebrating her 21st birthday... lol
yay for maternity leave!! your lil babe is oging to be here before you know it! i always missed sleeping on my stomach! and running:)
ReplyDeleteDecaf frapp's at Starbucks were discontinued while I was pregnant, and MAN did I miss them!! I have to ask... why can't you eat eggs? I don't know that one!
ReplyDeleteI missed coffee! And wine:)
