- Morning showers
- Jumping out of the car and running into a store quickly. Now I jump out of car and into the backseat, put on Peanut's socks and shoes because she took them off, find the dollie, double check I have the keys, find a buggy, put Peanut in buggy, and then run into the store
- Being able to just travel somewhere because the wind carried me that way
- Going to restaurants that don't have children's menus
- Clean carpets and furniture
- Being able to read for longer than 10 minutes at a time
- Saying "yes" to going to places, parties, events, concerts without having to think if I can find a babysitter or if she can tag along
- Staying in bed with hubby early, early in the morning and planning our day and maybe romping around *wink*
Things that make up for the things that I miss.. aka... things I would never trade for in all the world now that we got Peanut:
- "I love you Mommy"
- Morning chatter over a cup of coffee (for me) and a yogurt (for her)
- Dance routines
- Pretty pink little dresses, bows, glitter, feathers, and fun
- "EW!!!! YUCK!!" in the middle of a crowded store
- Nighttime cuddles and kissies
- Finally having an excuse to be a grown adult and watch my favourite cartoons and having a partner watching Star Trek with me.
- Having someone act exactly as you and your husband do and either laugh or be mortified.
- Knowing that you brought someone into the world and that there's a possibility she'll help change it.
- The capacity of love that I didn't even know I had.
