What are you looking forward to most after baby?


I know a lot of us might be getting impatient as we head toward those elusive due dates, so I thought I'd pose a fun question.  Other than holding your baby and all that obvious newborn sweetness, what are you most looking forward to after your baby is born?  For me, it would be sleeping on my stomach and being able to get in and out of my husband's truck without him having to boost my rear up into the seat while I grunt through it.  There is no dignity there. None.

    YES @kwaldy!  I cannot wait for that too!


    @MargaretC5 - I'm one of those weirdos who loves my postpartum hospital stay.  I get to lounge around in bed in my pajamas and not have to worry about why the kids are being so quiet and someone else cooks for me!  Who knows when that will happen again! (We're lucky that our hospital actually has really good meals.)
    @oxley09 I would not mind a few days in the hosipital, but I am in the hosipital now until I deliver. :(

  • I look forward to having energy again. E-V-Erything makes me groggy. I also can't wait to take excedrine migraine again because that was my savior for headaches & backaches. I'm ready to feel "normal" again.. I never know which emotion to go with.

    And alcohol. So many mixed drinks I'm ready to try!!
  • Red wine & laying on my stomach!! Can't wait! :)
  • I'm with you, @livvielove15 on the excedrin migraine. Tylenol just is not cutting it.

    I'm also looking forward to finally breaking into the bottle of wine I won at a vineyard days before we found out I was pregnant. It's been taunting me for too long.

    Sleeping on my back and stomach. Being able to roll over without being out of breath. Not taking 10 minutes to put on shoes or get off the couch.
  • Reconnecting with my husband and beer!
  • 1.) Sleeping on my stomach
    2.) Eating after 5:00 without the worry of acid reflux
    3.) WINE
    4.) Doing simple tasks such as tying my shoes, or picking up something on the floor without having to strategize first
  • -Beer (a really hoppy IPA to be specific)
    -running (and I actually kind of hate to run)
    -being able to do sit ups/core work (my abs are separating)
    -sleeping flat on my back comfortably
    -not hearing all the terrible comments I get from co-workers... When did it become ok to ask a woman how much weight she has gained?
    -not craving bread (hopefully that goes away)
    -wine

  • Omg love these posts...

    - a large glass of Cabernet
    - laying on my stomach
    - enjoyable sex

  • Not feeling like a beached whale when I'm trying to get up.. Asking for help to put on and tie my shoes (that's really embarrassing for me to ask my husband for such a silly task even though he's very willing to help).. I'm ready to not be so winded and out of breath from walking up the stairs... And having as much trop-a-rocka tea (it's diet and if you havent had it I suggest you try it! Some people love it some don't but I think it's delicious!!)as I want and not have to worry about anything...
  • Reaaaaaaaally looking forward to:
    A Bloody Mary extra olives
    An ice cold dos xx with extra lime
    Laying on my stomach
    Not peeing my pants with every baby move
    shaving without a mirror
    Painless nipples and boobs
  • Laying on my stomach, I miss it!
    Red wine
    Getting back in the gym
    Just being comfortable in general
    Going back to my heart burn free life
    Getting my wardrobe back
