Never Say Never

10 things I will Never Do (within the Next 9 Months)

1. Be a cute tiny pregnant girl. Nope, not me. I'm only 7 weeks and I already feel like a blimp. I get pregnant in my ankles, my neck, my thighs. You name it, it will be swollen and look pregnant.

2. Run while pregnant. I had big hopes on this one. But it doesn't seem to be happening. I get tired going to the grocery store. I feel like I deserve a marathon medal when I walk one mile. I'm hoping when I get more energy in the second trimester that I can maybe do a fat girl jog for a solid minute or two.

3. Sleep well. I'm a back sleeper. Or a stomach sleeper. Never have I ever been a side sleeper. This will be the death of me. {Side note: Can I put an oxygen mask on my baby registery? I'm gonna need one and I can't imagine that they are cheap.}

4. Like shopping. Shopping is depressing now. "Oh look at that cute dress on sale!" "Oh wait, it will probably only fit me for another month or so." #depressing Yes, there are cute pregnancy clothes out there, but seriously, I don't want to spend money on clothes I'm going to wear for only 9 months.

5. Drink a red bull. Y'all, I love caffeine. Red Bull, Sweet Tea, and Diet DP are my staples. I haven't had one tiny ounce of caffeine in over three weeks and it's not great. Of course the first week was miserable. It's getting better. But seriously, I am drooling just thinking about some sweet tea.

6. Like sitting at my desk. We got new chairs at work like 3 years ago. Everyone was so excited when we got them because they are like $800 special office chairs or something like that. I knew I hated them from the beginning. But, now, being pregnant, I despise them. I might bring in a huge bouncy ball to sit on while I work. And throw this chair out the window.

7. Take smoke breaks. Because I didn't even smoke before I was pregnant, but I will be taking walk breaks. I think I deserve it. If you get 14,783 breaks a day to go outside and smoke a cigarette, then me and this bun (in my oven) are going for 874 walks throughout the day so i don't go insane.

8. Have a maternity photo shoot. Please refer to #1 for explanation.

9. Like riding in a car. I get car sick. I'm so hot I am going to puke. And then 5 minutes later, I need a blanket. This was me BEFORE the bun. You can imagine me now. And I'm going on a roadtrip next weekend....who's excited?!

10. Take this time for granted. I'm a complainer, obviously. But I know there is a miracle growing in my stomach. I feel blessed because of this. So when my jeans don't button, and my chin triples, and my ankles become cankles, I won't forget how badly I wanted this. I am so happy to have these "problems". :)

Happy Hump Day everybody. I'm off to take my smoke break. Pin It Now!
