Things to remind myself of later

Since I finished my job, I've been all about lists. Mostly lists of stuff to do, stuff to pack, stuff to buy, stuff to take back. I'm still not quite ready to give birth, so thought I should make a list of all the things that I will not miss after I have the baby... just to remind myself of good things when I'm sleep deprived.

Not necessarily in order:
1.) Having only about 15% of nasal capacity at all times.
2.) Blowing my nose EVERY time I go to the bathroom.
3.) Going to the bathroom about once an hour, sometimes less, only to dribble about a teaspoon.
4.) Drinking 96 oz. of fluids a day.
5.) Not being able to get to my toes.
6.) Bumping into things with my belly, especially the oven door (thankfully no burns yet).
7.) Being out of breath all the time.
8.) HEARTBURN!
9.) Having people say, "You're carrying so low!" "You're carrying so high!"
10.) Swollen fingers.
11.) Swollen ankles
12.) Not being able to sleep on my stomach.
13.) Carrying around an extra 40 pounds.
14.) Everyone knowing I'm carrying around an extra 40 pounds.
15.) Having to scoot to the edge of any chair and then having to use my fists against the chair to launch myself out of the chair, and feeling like an old person.
16.) Being especially clutzy
17.) Being forgetful.

Enough for now.
