Reasons...

This is all that I can show you... I did a lot today, but this is all that I can show you. In fact, after I post, I have to go and put this image in the place of a few others, because they will hopefully be going with my H.O.F. submission. That is if I can get it sent off before I... well, you know...
So as I got in the shower today, I noticed that my belly button is no longer visible when I stand in front of my bathroom mirror, I have dropped, and keep dropping. It hasn't been fun getting my tummy scraped every time I get into the shower, so since that is my best place to think, I came up with reasons why I am excited about having this little girl, and reasons why I'll be sad to not be pregnant anymore.
Reasons to embrace a non-prego state:
- I will be able to wear more than 2 pair of shoes.
- Lynn will no longer have to find those scrapbook embellishments that I drop on the floor.
- My toenails will get some much needed TLC.
- I will no longer pull muscles when I change positions in bed.
- I will be able to stand closer to the sink, the stove, get into the cupboards, etc.
- The front of my tummy will no longer get soaked while washing my face.
- NO MORE HEARTBURN!!!
- Bending over will be fun, since I will be able to and for the previous reason... nothing will be working it's way back up my esophagus...
- While nocturnal potty trips will turn into nocturnal feedings, I would rather be snuggling a cute baby instead of snuggling a roll of Charmin.
- I will be able to fit into the shower... now if I'll get one regularly...
- Loading three kids into the car, no problem... Now getting in and out of the car won't be a problem either!
- My "underbelly" will be covered.
- My tummy won't be scraping the magnetic-latch-thingie in the shower anymore! (For a couple of years anyway...)

Reasons to shed a tear or two... all of you moms can relate...
- No more little kicks or bumps.
- The hiccups will never be that cute anymore...
- I'll not have an excuse of why I am allowed to have a root beer float for lunch, and every snack that I feel like...
- No excuse to be a glutton.
- The "monthly visitor" will make an appearance soon...
- I'm never really alone as a mom, but having a buddy there, no matter what...
- "Ben and Jerry's", the whole pint all at once...
- Those late nights when I can't sleep because someone has the wiggles... I will miss that.
- The monthly excitement to see what's been going on behind my closed cervix.
- Peeing into a cup.
- Kisses on my tummy from two sweet little girls.
- The anticipation. While it kills me now, I will miss it.
- Being able to rest a bowl or plate on my own personal TV tray.
- Watching my tummy go crazy when I am in the tub...
I know that there are so many more...
I feel like it's so soon... but then I don't want it to end quite yet. But I can't wait to see her....
