I stood at the Thursday sushi bar at work yesterday deciding between shrimp tempura and sweet potato rolls when I realized... this is my first Thursday at work not pregnant in a YEAR! I CAN HAVE RAW FISH!
4 months pp and this still happens every once in a while. Am I the only dolt?

Haha - totally happened to me all the time! For a while, it was 'oh man, I can't have that drink...' 'Oh, yes I can, I'm not pregnant anymore!' 'Oh, but I'm breastfeeding, so I still can't have it...'

I just realize I can't rub my belly cause it isn't a baby just fat and then I get depressed.

I'm not sure it happened 4 months pp, but while I was on maternity leave I'd always be worried about my bump running into things Didn't need to worry about that anymore!!

Still pregnant but i was thinking about this yesterday. I feel like i'm going to feel empty after she's born like i'll keep waiting to feel her kick again.

@Smurfette: Hahahahaha - I laugh because I'm the same way. I loved rubbing my belly, it was a comfort thing. Now, it's the opposite of comfort o.O

I do it all the time with sushi and coffee! I will start to order something cooked, or a tiny coffee before I realize I'm not pregnant anymore. I also still feel weird when I sleep on my back!

@Chillybear: I did feel her kick for like a week after - it was super super freaky.

@Smurfette: hahahaha LOL
I had to leave my LO at the NICU and I had to keep reminding myself I had a child. It was all very surreal.

I adjusted fine at home but when I went back to work at 4 months pp I was still in pregnant mode. I forgot that I have to do my share of heavy box lifting. When I finally remembered my coworkers were horrified I was lifting. They had forgotten I was no longer pregnant too. I'm 6 months pp now and I just took the stairs two steps at a time. I always did that pre-pregnancy and I had totally forgotten about it.
