I'm actually really looking forward to being able to spoon DH in bed again. He's miles away at the moment because of this little critter getting in the way!

A couple of our friends gave me a bottle of Patron for my 21st birthday - that's the day I found I was pregnant. After LO arrives and we have time to get in a routine we will be finishing it off together :>
I already don't drink alcohol, I have no interest in raw seafood, and I never stopped caffeine, cookie dough, undercooked steak, soft serve, deli meat, etc. And I still sleep in a sloppy sprawl that puts me half on my side and half on my stomach, propped against a pillow.
So...maybe a pedicure or a long nap.
DS: 11/8/11 | 9 lb 7 oz, 22 in DD: 5/22/14 | 9 lb 9 oz, 21.5 in
No more heartburn! Being able to paint my toes and shave everything normally. Regular bowel movements. All the coffee in the world. As much deli meat as I can eat. Sex! Not peeing every half hour. Mountain Dew. Oh how I miss my Mountain Dew. Being able to snuggle my puppies without worrying about them jumping on my stomach. Sleeping on my back.
Shopping. Shopping. Shopping. And high heels. God I want out of my sensible non-slip crocs and back into my closet full of cute heels.
DH has already set aside money and is fully prepared to handle the baby solo for at least 2 hours (two separate days so I get 4 hours total but can still breast feed) as soon as I feel up to it. Mama's buying new clothes to fit my post partum body (pregnancy has been a surprisingly successful diet) and then I plan on spending at least an hour of that time sitting in an obnoxiously loud Mexican restaurant alone, sipping a margarita and eating all the cheese enchiladas and chips with green sauce I can fit into my stomach without baby trying to kick it all back out.
I have earned my 4 hours of spending and freedom from worrying about the baby by way of spending three months of this pregnancy on bed rest. DH can babysit the egg for a while

omg where to start. soda, sushi, port, sleeping on my tummy, comfortable sex, bubble baths and deep tissue massages because prenatals just aren't cutting it
Not having to pee constantly, sleeping on my stomach (heaven) not being concerned about everything I eat/drink/do, being able to go to Disneyland ALL day long-no shortness of breath, or fear of contractions, and the biggest.... my hubby not freaking out about us having sex and hurting me/baby.
Pretty much the same thing everyone else is saying, PLUS:
A medium rare steak
And being able to get in and out of my car without making UGH noises and straining to reach the door handle after
As is tradition, my husband will bring me a big ass party platter of sushi, and my flask of gin & tonic & cheesecake. Last time I got a thermos of red wine, but I tore and it didn't make me forget about it.
I also packed a bottle of white in my hospital bag in case he forgets. Lolol
Then when I'm discharged, first lunch out will be raw oysters for me. Yesss!
...here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

Several cold turkey sandwiches (I had 3 before I left the hospital with DD)... I'm only strict about deli meat and high mercury and raw fish
Full strength coffee (I've been drinking half caf), which will hopefully lead to a proper poop each morning
