What I miss:
- Always having someone with me, everywhere I go.
- Not having high blood pressure (yes, it is back in scary high values right now)
- A face that is not broken out
- Being the only one that can feel him moving all of the time
- Playing games with him when he kicked me all night long.
- Feeling a strong purpose of existing - yes, I am still helping my baby grow but it is different.
- My belly... yes, I actually miss it. Wouldn't have expected that!
- The anticipation of wondering what Ephram will look like and be like.
- Sleep. I slept less when I was pregnant than before... but so much more than I sleep now!
- Food cravings and an excuse to indulge them.
What I am enjoying now that I am postpartum:
- Long, hot showers without worrying about raising my body temperature.
- Being able to go longer than 30 minutes without running to the bathroom.
- No more heartburn!
- Eating undercooked eggs... fried eggs over medium are okay again!
- Eating undercooked steak.
- Eating sandwiches made with lunch meat. I haven't done this yet, but I will soon!
- Being able to lay on my back without feeling like I am going to be sick.
- Being able to sleep in any position I want.
- Having ankles again.
- Not feeling so cumbersome.
- Taking fewer pills every morning.
- Watching the pounds drop off and realizing that hitting my goal weight is very attainable... (which I will start as soon as I get the 'release' that I've recovered from my c-section.)
- Playing with his little feet as he still enjoys kicking them all night (and day) long.
- Watching, comforting and marveling at my new little baby.
- Watching Andy and Charlie be able to enjoy Ephram as much as I do.

Isn't it great to be able to sleep on your back or tummy if you want to again!
