I miss sleep SO much. And having time for myself. Most days I don't even have time to do my makeup and the hair ends up in a ponytail- I was always very put together before having a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby/page/2#post-349321 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:10:33 +0000 HLK208 349321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: haha!</p> <p>I miss going to the gym without worrying about child care, working, going shopping in peace. I really am not missing out on sleep. If I could sleep in once in awhile, I'd be happy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby/page/2#post-349291 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 22:50:44 +0000 junebugmama 349291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loud uninterrupted sex.

Nothing can replace the time we share every day. I will be able to do all the things mentioned above again, just not anytime soon! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby/page/2#post-349213 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:51:40 +0000 SugarplumsMom 349213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep!

Not filtering my needs through hers. Getting to rest when I need to. Sleeping as much as I need. Not having hemorrhoids. </p> <p>Totally worth it, even the hemorrhoids.

Clean out a lot of stuff and shop for some classic pieces that I know I would love even after baby. </p> <p>Also, get organized around the house.

I love to bake but I can't do it unless someone is around to watch DD (and I can't do it while she's sleeping because she's such a light sleeper)... </p> <p>Oh! And being able to lounge around and do nothing if you have a hangover! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby#post-326562 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 06:18:04 +0000 looch 326562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleeping on my only schedule! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby#post-326551 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 06:08:11 +0000 GrapeCrush 326551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just the ability to get up and go when someone calls and wants to hang out....we don't get many calls to hang out anymore :o( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby#post-323580 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:56:02 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 323580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first 10 months it was most definitely sleep. Now it's going out for a late dinner or drinks without worrying about finding a babysitter/ or eating in an empty restaurant because it's so early/ or eating really fast because we need to get home to put baby to sleep. I just declined like 3 invites for this week and it's super frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby#post-323575 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 21:51:42 +0000 pinkcupcake 323575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep. </p> <p>And the luxury of running to the supermarket really quick.

And time to be just with DH alone. LO is 2 months now - and I always knew that there would be 3 of us in the house once he got here, I just never realized I wouldn't get the time to sit down with DH and have dinner, or enjoy one of our favorite shows, or just cuddle on the couch. I miss 'us' time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby#post-323452 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 20:41:16 +0000 winniebee 323452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep.

We decided to do a baby moon in NYC about 3 weeks before we actually went (I guess that's not super spontaneous, but we did have to buy plane tickets!). And after work, we used to just decide on the spot whether we were going home, going out or meeting friends for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby#post-323435 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 20:32:08 +0000 stargal 323435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: i hear ya, i look at bikini pics from a year ago and i want to cry! but hey, you might be one of the lucky one's who stomach bounces right back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-life-pre-baby#post-323418 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 20:27:04 +0000 regberadaisy 323418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep.
