The baby just finished eating and is sound asleep in her swing, so I thought why not play a game? So ladies, what are you most looking forward to after labor? It was Chipotle and a Margarita for me! Also, sleeping on my stomach again!
1. Being able to see my feet without bending over so far feeling like I'm going to tip on over at any moment.
2. Drinking a beer. Can't say I even really drank that much before my pregnancy, but I think it's the whole someone telling you you can't do it thing that makes you want to do it so much more.
3. Being able to watch my baby grow and develop outside of me.
4. People to stop touching my belly.. I'm hoping this will stop after I give birth. ;-)

I cannot WAIT to meet this little one!! After meeting/holding/cuddling her, I also can't wait to get back to my normal core exercises. Planks are lame and boring when you can't do much else!
Besides holding the newest addition...a margarita, some sushi and sleeping comfortably (even though I'll be up every few hours...at least when I do sleep it won't be so rough!)
Being able to walk around a feel mostly normal. I remember it came back so quickly after DD1 was born. I felt like a frickin Ninja getting out of bed. Also can't wait to have a glass or 2 of wine!
holding my daughter of course that's the best. ...but other than that drinking a monster. I do miss those. I watch a coworker drink one every day...ugh!!!
