Those of you that have already had your babies, keep your bragging to yourself .
What are the rest of us looking forward to when we're not pg anymore?
Me, alcohol and pizza. I'm not a big drinker, but I love a mixed/frozen drink and I've had none this pg. With my previous pg's I was told to keep it to a minimum but my OB didn't care if I had a sip here or there. This time around I've treated this pg as the IP's (intended parents) would've, so I've not had a taste and I have a frozen daiquiri and frozen bahama mama taunting me in the freezer.
As far as the pizza, I've been craving a super cheesy pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut, my heartburn has been so out of control even without adding anything that can make it worse, I'm too terrified to chance it. I tried Prevacid, I've gone through Tums like they're going out of style, I try to sleep elevated, and my heartburn is worse this pg than my other 2. I told the parents that 1.) there may have been a mix up at the RE's office and they may be having a baby that's 1/2 monkey, 2.) this kid BETTER have a full head of hair (they were both bald babies). Of course both were said in a joking fashion, no snark.
Re: For those of us who haven't had our babies - what do are you excited to eat/drink?
I want an iced triple espresso from Starbucks. I get them in the summer and with the warm weather arriving I have been wanting one so bad! I have been drinking coffee but that's probably too much right now.
On the non-food total TMI side, I am looking forward to being able to wipe my butt without serious contortions. I am this close to asking my husband for help!

Ah, I forgot about the swelling. Yes I'll be happy to be able to wear my wedding ring again, or heck any jewelry. I took all of my jewelry out weeks ago because I know if I ended up wit a c/s for any reason they can make you take off any jewelry and I didn't want to worry about it getting lost. I also miss wearing heels, I had to finally retire them a few weeks ago.

GSx2 for T&B - EDD 6/21/2015 - They're having a GIRL!
Oh goodness, what I wouldn't give to sit outside eating a nice grilled dinner and sipping a beer (or two!!).
I haven't limited any food that I wouldn't avoid anyway this pg, but I haven't been able to eat much at one sitting. So it will be nice to go out to eat and be able to enjoy more than 1/4 of my meal without suffering!!
I'm also looking forward to a margarita or glass of Sangria! Yum!

Wine. Wine. and Wine.
Seriously, I miss wine.
Real sushi. I plan on eating a lot of it ASAP. Other than that, nothing.
I love seeing all the labour and birth stories and baby pictures and I'm not quite ready to stop being pregnant although I know I have little say in that.
EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
I'm definitely in the minority....I dont touch alcohol, so it's not even on my radar
I want a huge cold turkey sub. I want it so badly, that is what I'm sending hubby to get for my first hospital meal.
And I want to be able to bend over again. And sleep on my stomach or back.
Make a pregnancy ticker
.
How I feel exactly! Wine is definitely what I miss the most. Beyond that, a real workout, sleeping without having to find the perfect spot for my belly, and less bathroom trips.
I'm going for a medium-rare NY strip steak from Texas Roadhouse, topped with shrimp, and ice cold Dos Equis beer with lots of lime. I can't wait!
Donuts....definitely donuts!! Can't wait!
I have been avoiding them during the pregnancy because I have been trying to eat healthy and limit my weight gain, but they are calling my name now.
Yes, yes, yes!
Oh yes. I'm sending DH out to get me a legit roast beef sandwich with cole slaw and russian dressing from a nearby Jewish deli first thing.
Also high on the to-consume-list: a nice glass of Shiraz, sangria, and sashimi.

Ice Cold Beer...my high heels and a large salad. I have not been able to eat salad or leafy raw greens through my entire pregnancy due to the aftermath it causes to my bowels.
It will also be nice to not belch like a roaring lion anymore.
