Wine & Margs.
My body. I want my body back.
Travel, and other random things I won't be able to do this summer.
Also...
Doing things that we used to do, but as a family of 3. I can't wait to take Oliver to baseball games, hockey games, concerts, vacations, dinners, social gatherings, etc., and have another whole human to enjoy our life with.

Wine & Beer Not being awakened by the need to pee Getting my old energy levels back Getting this weight off, especially off of my face Being able to pick up my 41-pound kid again without anyone saying, "should you be doing that?" My belly being smaller so there's room for DD on my lap Ibuprofen Drinking all the coffee I want Finally knowing if baby is a boy or a girl! It's been a long wait!
I also don't feel like I've been pregnant long enough to look forward to not being pregnant.
I will say I want to be able to sleep on my back! I wake up in the motn, and try to rearrange my pillows so I'm on my back, but elevated a bit.
Girl, sleep on your back!! I still do at 33 weeks. Your body will tell you when it's time to roll over. Sleep how you are comfortable. Any positions that could possibly be harmful to baby will hurt you first to tell you to switch positions.
1. SUSHI!!!!!!! 2. Wine and Ciders 3. Not needing to plan car trips around bathroom trips 4. Sub sandwiches! 5. Caffeine 6. Not being treated like a glass doll. (It is nice people are so concerned and helpful but I like for real can climb a flight of stairs or carry a box of clothes)

easilyunamused and mustloveerica, I find myself sleeping on my back now at 29w and I'm not normally a back sleeper! But it's the only way that I don't have any aches and pains. If I sleep on my left side, my hip aches. If I sleep on my right side, my shoulder hurts. The only issue with sleeping on my back is that it makes me snore. But I dealt with MH's horrible snoring for years so he can deal with mine for a few months.
-STOMACH SLEEPING!!! -being able to lift one leg at a time -greasy heartburn foods without the heartburn -being able to pick up DS without struggle -being able to WALK normally -being able to shave my crotchal region and legs -uninhibited coffee and a pina colada
-hopefully, my PICA will go away and I won't want to lick the hand soap anymore LOL
And of course....meeting this baby is a high priority
Oh yeah I CANNOT WAIT to stop being the center of attention everywhere I go. So tired of people telling me how huge I am or asking invasive questions or "are you sure it's not twins??"
Definitely looking forward to falling under the radar again when in public.

I'm sure I'm going to repeat.
Wine Beer Garaging (this is gone until I'm done with BF/kids) Stomach sleeping Normal walking I'll second cosmicav's lifting my legs individually. I cannot wait to not feel that pelvic burn. Being able to O without my uterus getting all hard.
Babywearing in a front carry. Pants with front pockets. Bfing with less sensitive nipples and without a bump in the way. But mostly: knowing that I never have to go through l&d and recovery ever again.
Being able to eat like a normal human. Baby is squishing my stomach so no matter how hungry I am as I eat I start to feel sick. I ate a normal sized burrito this weekend and 2/3 of the way through I was like omg my stomach is going to explode.

lulu783, hell yes to the breathing like a normal person again! This one also coincides with no more snoring at night so my husband will actually sleep in the same bed as me again. lol.

Yes! I'm ok at lunch but by dinnertime, I think baby boy starts to stretch out and squish my stomach. I got a burrito bowl from Chipotle the other night and after less than 1/4 of it, I felt like my stomach was going to explode. I have pretty much given up on eating dinner now.

Yes to the bolded. I can't see down there and I am not about to take a razor to that area blind. I am seriously considering getting my first bikini wax before I deliver.

Ok so I did this last time. My vote is don't do it. Because of the increased blood flow down there it was SO BAD. And when you deliver you end up not GAF at all.

I've been going at it blind LOL. If I had to imagine what it looks like right now, it would be like this

lulu783, good point about the increased blood flow. I had my legs waxed a few weeks before my due date last time and it hurt like hell. I don't remember having the same issue with not being able to shave last time - I remember shaving the night before my induction. I may just have to take H's offer to do it for me if it gets really bad.

Oh I need to repierce and earring hole, and I am looking forward to having the ability to wear earrings again. I figure I should wait until I have a free uterus before doing it just in case.
