I don't mind working hard, but doing it from 5 am until an hour before I collapse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614802 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:24:19 +0000 prettylizy 614802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: OMG yes!!! Running errands is such a pain because I have to clip her in and out a zillion times!!!</p> <p>I miss being able to leave whenever I want without thinking about it. Oh, need to stop at the pharmacy on the way home? Sure. Want to run out at 9:30 for a McFlurry? Yep. Not so much anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614780 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:19:29 +0000 mediagirl 614780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss being able to store-hop. I often want to go into 4 or 5 different stores in one outing but they are all driving distance from one another (like TJ Maxx, Kohls, Target, Walmart and the pet supply store). With M in her carseat, it is such a PAIN to get her in and out and in and out and in and out and etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614760 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:16:26 +0000 Freckles 614760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss not having to be at home by dinner/bedtime. There are so many fitness classes i miss out on. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614748 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:12:47 +0000 littlebittyhouse 614748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>being able to pick up and go with DH and spending money without worrying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614420 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:10:02 +0000 cascademom 614420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not having to plan simple things like a haircut, a dinner out, etc. I miss the spontaneity we had pre-baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614410 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:08:24 +0000 Sweet T 614410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss doing things for myself. I really need a haircut and my eyebrows need waxing. I would also love a pedicure. I wish I could just go out and get those things done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614393 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:05:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 614393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Super jealous.</p> <p>I ran to Target this morning while the nanny was here, so I got my loud music fix :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614389 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:05:08 +0000 anbanan15 614389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Now that I can eat again I have a really hard time eating or coming up with things I'm hungry for and everything tastes the same! I almost miss eating the same thing...not as much thinking involved once a food was determined safe. Hope the rest of your time on an elimination diet goes well!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614317 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:52:36 +0000 MamaMoose 614317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: last night I was driving home from meeting a friend and I was rocking out in the car! I didn't realize how much I had missed it. It actually helped me feel a little better about going back to work next week because I'll get 15 minutes alone in the car every day!<br /> @anbanan15: This is it for me. I miss not having to think so much about what I can/will eat (and drink) for every meal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614315 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:51:58 +0000 blackbird 614315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, I miss my body. I miss being able to do what I want with it (work out, wear mostly what I want) without it retaliating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614305 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:48:08 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 614305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss listening to music really, really loudly.</p> <p>How lame is that?</p> <p>But seriously, with spring right around the corner I want to wind down the windows and crank up the music. No bueno with baby in the car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614263 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:32:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 614263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss having time to do whatever I wanted. Man, my husband and I used to spend like 2 hours making dinner each evening. I had plenty of time to pursue my interests. We liked to take weekend getaways. Now, it’s just harder to fit everything into a 24 hour day. There isn’t much spare time to work on my hobbies or interests (plus I’m often too tired to think creatively), and although we could still do getaways, they will always be different if LO is along (like, no super late night dinners, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614260 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:32:19 +0000 anbanan15 614260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you would have asked this about a month a go I would have said real food since I was eating the same thing every day with all of my LO's restrictions while breastfeeding. However, I can't really think of anything I miss now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss#post-614243 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:24:36 +0000 meganmp 614243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides sleep, what do you miss most about your pre-baby days? </p> <p>I think mine is our friends (which sounds worse than it is). I just think that most of our friends, who don't have kids yet, think that we're totally tied to our house/schedule/etc. and we really don't get asked out to do stuff anymore. If we do hanging with friends, it's because we initiate it, when before it was much more mutual. </p>
