Things I'm Looking Forward To...

There's no possible way I could be more excited for the arrival of our son, but as I prepare to enter the 30's (pregnancy weeks of course) this week, I'm beginning to get just as excited to no longer have the roundness and heaviness of carrying him around in my belly. I'd much rather have him in my arms! Below are six things I'm looking forward to along with his arrival :)

1. Post-Baby Body: Bring on the HIIT workouts and strength training, baby! I know I can't get back to it three days after Vaught arrives, but within a couple of months of his big debut, I will be back in the gym becoming the fittest, healthiest mom I can be. I came across these pictures that I didn't even realize I still had in my phone. I almost don't recognize my non-pregnant self.

Was I almost... thin?

2. Post-Pregnancy Wardrobe: I'm actually looking forward to this. I love the time of the year Vaught will arrive: the forefront of Fall! As my body heals and everything shrinks back down, I'm looking forward to cozy sweaters, leggings, and boots to transition me back into my pre-pregnancy style. Fall is my favorite season, especially as far as fashion goes, and it's so easy to dress for the weather and still look super cute. It's a great season in which to have a newborn to take care of.

5 cozy sweaters for $25 at Kohl's in July!

3. High Heels: I used to love them and have not worn them in months! My mother bought me some Coach kitten heels at Macy's shoe sale in July; they're such a beautiful, classic shoe! I cannot wait to wear them with a black dress!

4. Sex That Isn't Awkward: Yes, I said it. You know that scene in Knocked Up where Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen try to have sex when she's like twenty-something weeks pregnant? Yeah well that scene is not totally inaccurate. It has ranged from super fun, super funny, or super fawkward. That's all I'll say about that. **I attempted to find a funny or quirky photo for this one, but instead came across "pregnancy porn." I did not even know that exists, and I'm not sure I'll ever come back from it.**

5. Margaritas & Wine: I have never been a heavy drinker. Before pregnancy, I'd have a glass of wine one night every few weeks with supper, and now and then I just loved a good strawberry margarita from the Mexican restaurant! I know that while breastfeeding I cannot drink alcohol, but I am looking forward to a glass of white zif again in the future.

6. Ole Miss Football: We probably shouldn't have, but we did renew our season tickets for Rebel Football this year. I hope to be able to attend the first home game (and possibly the second if Vaught wants to go full term!), but I'm really excited to start going to the games again towards the end of October. I've already got my parents lined up as babysitters as long as they'll keep their TV channel on the football game so Vaught can begin getting fully prepped on college football! ;)
