**preserve**
...the way kenny rubs my belly and talks to carter (there's a good chance that carter will know kenny's voice over mine, as kenny talks to him WAY MORE OFTEN than i do. the only thing i can think that i have said directly to carter the whole nine months is: "hey buddy" if he suddenly kicks/punches/rolls or "hey, whatcha doin in there?" when he moves around all funny and i feel like my belly button is going to open up and he's going to crawl out)
...reading carter a story every night before bed, me on my back and kenny next to me, head somewhere between my bump and breasts, him reading a page and me reading a page
...how carter almost always immediately begins kicking if we're laying in spoon and kenny puts his left arm on the middle of my side-bump, as if to say, "dad, i know she's your wife and you want to cuddle with her, but i'm kinda laying right here, so MOVE!" :)
...how kenny lays with me in spoon as we fall asleep with his hand on my side-bump, until carter kicks him so much that he can't get to sleep, so kenny changes positions. if only I could change positions and fall asleep...LOL

**PERISH**
...the inability to eat MY OWN tuna sandwich from panera bread. yes, someone WILL BE going for a panera run while i'm in postpartum!
...being able to roll over in bed...bend over...put on my socks and shoes...get a pan out of the bottom kitchen cabinets...without GROANING!
...the 32.2 lbs (and counting) of baby-related weight i've gained
_____________
i'm sure there's more, but i think it's important for my psyche that there be fewer number of things i want to perish than preserve. ;)
