Ten Things I Can't Wait to Do...
1. Count my daughter's toes.... and kiss them.
2. Roll over on my tummy and take a small nap. (I'm realistic)
3. Drink like 8 diet cokes in one day... with no guilt or mean looks from my husband.
4. Put Harper in her Burberry Dress and take her picture.
5. Introduce Harper to her cousins.... Especially Ellie.
6. Get to the point of pumping that my boobs don't make me want to cry.
7. Put on pants with butttons instead of navy blue elastic panels.
8. Celebrate a year full of firsts.
9. Drink a glass of champagne... the special stuff we saved back from our wedding.
10. Do it with my husband... and not feel like an overgrown moose. (this is going to take a while, as well...)
What are you waiting for???

Re: Ten Things I Can't Wait to Do...
Friday to see a hb! (small steps)
BTW, I love your list...it made me smile!
What a great list Alice!
I just can't wait til my 3D u/s when I get to see LO and find out if LO is a boy or a girl!
This is an awesome list Alice!
I'm so excited for you! I still can't believe it is already time to introduce Harper to this world. It's amazing!
Great list
We are waiting to schedule our 20wk u/s next week, and confirm our gender guess from the 13wk u/s is correct.
If the gender is right, then figure out a middle name for the LO, and get their room ready.
I also can't wait until tomato sauce tastes normal again, I miss Italian food!
I'm looking forward to this one as well!
Same here, so exciting!! Your list sums it all up perfectly!!
This! I just can't wait to hold my baby.

1. See Preston's chunker munker cheeks and lips -- and kiss them.
2. Just hold him with DH in my hospital bed and stare at the miracle we made.
3. YES -- sleep on my stomach (I've contemplated cutting a hole in the mattress!) or else not wake up in a blind panic when I realize I'm on my back.
4. Not stare at my closet full of clothes in disgust because I can't wear anything in there.
5. Not prick my finger 4 times a day -- oh what a relief that will be.
6. See my mom's face when she holds Preston for the first time. She's waited 30 years to be a grandmother. She knows how much I loved mine and has wanted that opportunity for a long time!
1. Meet and greet my LO. Tell them, fifty billion times a day, how much we love them and how happy we are that he/she is finally here.
2. Find out the gender at our 3D ultrasound today!
3. Be off of bedrest. Exercise again.
4. Be able to walk when I stand up, instead of getting help moving my legs one at a time (I have SPD, and they now seem to lock in my hips if I lie down for more than 15 min)
5. Take a trillion photos of my baby. (I'm pretty sure you'll be able to flip through baby's photo and watch him/her move as if it's a video)
6. See my husband take care of a baby for the first time!
7. See our families interact with our LO!
8. Get started on all the DIY crafts I have planned!
