Things I am going to miss:
- SLEEP
- Errands with only one child
- no longer being required to carry said child
- my semi-flat tummy (why was I complaining?)
- little purses
- a schedule of my own
- smelling good, ie: not like sour milk
- a husband who doesn’t drive a mini-van (kiss kiss honey!)
- to quote William Wallace: “FREEDOM!”
Things I haven’t missed:
- diapers
- diaper bags
- packing said diaper bag for a three day hike in the wilderness any time I leave the house
- constant worry that they might be choking
- four a.m. feedings
- nursing rooms that smell like poopy diapers
- sixteen spills on my shirt, only four of which are actually mine
- rear facing car seats
- sore b**bs
- soggy bras
- soggy shirts
- soggy EVERYTHING
Things I look forward to:
- Johnson & Johnson’s products
- a kid around here who can’t complain about what’s for dinner
- onesies
- peach fuzz skin
- baby’s breath
- baby sighs
- wrapping him into a little burrito
- rooting around before mealtimes; the kind that does not involve the slamming of cupboad doors followed by the words “MOM! There’s nothing to eat!”
- introducing another baby to his first lemon
- introducing the kids to their new brother
- introducing little Homer to all of you
