Baby Blues

Ok, so I've heard of baby blues. And quite frankly, I've stressed about my probable susceptibility to post-partum depression. But honestly? Right now I can only imagine euphoria. Here are the things that I'm waiting for like a kid on Christmas Eve:

1. The baby here, safe and sound.
2. Sleeping on my stomach.
3. Maternity leave.
4. Summer.
5. Sleeping on my side without pulling ligaments in my belly.
6. No swelling in my feet and ankles.
7. NO NAUSEA!!!!!
8. Eating and cooking like a regular person.
9. My mom and aunt coming to visit us.
10. Baby's baptism. Seriously. Can't wait to put him in a christening gown and have cake. Oh, and remission of sins for the little guy, too.
11. No backache.
12. Wearing regular people clothes.
13. The beach. (Not related to the baby, but still, I am craving it like you can't believe.)
14. Watching Ross be a dad.
15. Singing lullabies.
16. His first smile.
17. His first laugh.
18. Hearing from everyone how adorable he is. (Because he will be.)
19. Seeing everything through his eyes.
20. Getting my body back.

Yeah. Not seeing anything about post-partum not to love.
