Six More...

This is the number of pounds I have left before I am my pre-pregnancy weight. Not too shabby. I am noticing I'm looking much better in a lot of my clothes again.

I definitely do miss having Nicholas "on the inside" sometimes. I barely remember all of the bad stuff about being pregnant (I'm not going to rush and read any of my posts from those days when I was having a tough time of it either!), but I remember some of the nice things. I loved those little flutter kicks and even the big ones toward the end there. They were fun. I liked seeing my belly grow and blossom into a first rate "baby hotel."

As many of my friends are blessed with babies on the way, I am reminded of these things. I am thankful I was able to experience the joys and pains of pregnancy first-hand. I am blessed to have such a darling little boy as a result of the process.

A part of me longs to start the process again, but things in our lives just aren't where they should be right now. We need to get a few things in order and then we can contemplate whether growing our family is the right thing to do. Even if we decide against it, I have Nicholas and he has me. I am one lucky mommy.
