I just don't have time to work out like I did pre-baby. It was a large part of my life, and I just don't know how to fit it in for the time being. And I have the worst sleeper. We've been up from 2-5am every night this week with teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-pre-kid-days/page/2#post-774439 Fri, 10 May 2013 20:31:08 +0000 anewme 774439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss those nice long hot showers I used to love! Now it's lugging baby monitors into the bathroom, washing my hair with one eye open. It's a good day if I can take a full 5 min shower,</p> <p>I miss "me" time! Like manis/pedis, dinner with friends, date nights! I'm used to sleeping at 3-4 hour increments already so sleep doesn't bother me as much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-pre-kid-days/page/2#post-774417 Fri, 10 May 2013 20:18:59 +0000 ladyfingers 774417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleeping in, running by the store on my way home, doing little things without having to make major plans to make them happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-pre-kid-days/page/2#post-774271 Fri, 10 May 2013 19:15:05 +0000 Honeybee 774271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Send her my way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-pre-kid-days/page/2#post-774269 Fri, 10 May 2013 19:13:57 +0000 googly-eyes 774269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going places without making plans or packing a diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-miss-most-about-your-pre-kid-days/page/2#post-774243 Fri, 10 May 2013 19:02:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 774243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I have a possible person for you.
