Reasons Why I'm Glad NOT to be Pregnant Anymore.

I found this list typed to myself shortly after I had my last baby.

Dropping 25 pounds in 17 days!

Holding my baby in my arms!

Being able to walk without waddling.

Having my energy and strength back!

Sushi!

Being able to reach my toes, again!

Having Bill home for five weeks!

Watching my boys be wonderful, sweet big brothers.

Why List?

Lists can be fun.
Making lists helps to keep thoughts and ideas sorted.
Lists help you stay organized.
You can't forget something if it's on the list. (Unless you misplace it!)
Making lists is easier than real blogging.
Some people only have time for lists.
Why not?
