My top 5's


Top 5 things that surprised me since having a second child.
1. I can differentiate between my children by the smell of their poop
2. How content I can be after a full day of watching Alex play while snuggling Heidi
3. My newfound ability to take naps
4. How much I forgot about having a newborn, and how quickly it all came back
5. That I have to protect Heidi from Alex loving her far too much, rather than trying to intentionally harm her.
Top 5 things I love about NOT being pregnant
1. No more HEARTBURN!!!
2. Being able to lay down on my tummy, and roll over without making a huge scene
3. Being able to wear clothes because I want to, not because it's the only thing that fits
4. Letting Alex crawl all over my tummy and wresting with her again
5. Being able to move freely
Top 5 things I miss about being pregnant
1. The huge, completely full, hard belly and watching it dance before bed
2. Being able to (more or less) sleep through the night
3. Having an excuse to drink a milkshake before bed every night
4. There is so much less to worry about with the kid inside you (but i'm really glad to have her out)
5. Thats it, I was stretching to come up with 4.
