What is your "selfish desire" about not being pregnant anymore?

Okay...we all are about to have our babies within the next month or so and I know we are all thrilled. I have waited for this baby for over a year after suffering a loss this time last year. I am grateful, I feel so fortunate and blessed and this is something I've wanted so bad.
That being said, I know we all have something we are so looking forward to after our babies are here. I just wanted to have a random post where we could talk about some things we are excited for - either to have back or to start doing, once these LO's make their appearances. I think specifically I want to focus on fashion, shopping, clothes, that type of thing. : )
So here are mine: I can't wait to wear dresses and heels again...my feet and lower legs have been super swollen so I don't really want to show off my legs, or wear heels since they make my feet worse. Also, while I know that it will take a while for my body to get back the way I want it (or may never actually get there), I can't WAIT to go shopping!!!! I am excited to buy some new, regular clothes....pants with zippers and buttons...and wear my old shoes again that aren't fitting b/c my feet are too fat. I also can't WAIT to wear my wedding rings again.

Re: What is your "selfish desire" about not being pregnant anymore?
Clothes - I am tired of the same clothes every week! Half of my maternity stuff doesn't fit right anymore and I'm feeling frumpy. I can't wait to wear jeans that fit right, shirts that hug my figure, and heels! I'm going to work hard to get myself back in shape so I can wear my bikini this summer, I really want to meet that goal.
Oh and I'm dying to have my hair colored - all over red with lighter highlights like I used to wear it. I miss being a redhead! I also plan to have my tattoo touched up this summer, since I had planned to do it last year and couldn't. It really needs it.
I cannot wait for my legs to stop going numb- I know I won't be getting much more sleep because the baby will be waking up, but I cannot wait to be able to sleep a bit more comfortably.
Like the OP said - I can't wait to go shopping!! I've been saving some money and got some gift cards at Christmas so I can go on a little shopping spree when I'm back down to my pre-PG size. Wearing pants with zippers and having more of a selection of clothes will also be great. I also can't wait to wear heels again (or any cute shoes for that matter). DH bought me an anniversary band to match my wedding band (so I'll have one band on each side of my engagement ring), so I can't wait to wear my rings again!!
I'm also looking forward to feeling "normal." I like the thought of being able to actually have a lap for DS to sit on, bend over normally, walk normally, sleep in any position I want, etc.
Clothing shopping. I am SO due for a VS spree!!
Sushi.
Wearing more than just 2 pairs of pants in rotation because NONE of my other mat. jeans fit anymore.
I wish I could say shopping but I haven't been able to do much shopping the last couple of years. Our house is a money pit and I'm pretty sure we've spent over $10,000 on vet bills in the last year alone! YIKES!
So what I'm looking forward to the most is having my house done after LO is here and being able to put all my decorations back up and do a little furniture shopping, which we've been saving up for! Then I look forward to having friends/family over for dinner again and enjoying a glass of wine and/or a cold brew!
And I also look forward to taking LO camping and going to the coast to visit our family beach house and to eat baby back ribs this year over Memorial Day weekend! Woohoo!!!!!
I actually don't have any fashion ones really. I've been pretty happy with my maternity clothes, and I managed to shop at my favorite store (forever 21) for a good chunk of this pregnancy.
Right now my day dream is to be able to take some good medicine to get some relief from this awful congestion (I know I'll still be somewhat limited with BF, but not nearly this bad). And to eat yummy turkey sandwiches again. Mmmmm. Oh and coke. Yeah, I'm pretty much all about the food.
sushi and wine
being able to roll over in bed without it being a huge affair full of moans and grunts
being able to snuggle my son on my lap without feeling like he's a mile away

I can't wait for this heartburn to go away. I finally got a prescription for something, and it's a caetgory B drug, but I'm still afraid to take it. I took it for 2-3 days in a row and it helped, it was *heaven*. But I didn't take it yesterday so I'm expecting the heartburn to return tonight. I just don't want to take it too much, you know?
I can't wait to have a flat stomach again and wear normal clothes. I'm a little afraid they will never fit me again, though. I know my stomach won't be insta-flat after (and maybe never exactly the same again), but you know what I mean!
I can't wait for the swelling in my legs, ankles and feet to go away.
I can't wait to be comfortable while sleeping and lounging on the couch.
champagne & wine, please! all other things have been simply menial as far as im concerned.
* A glass of good wine
* Sleeping on my back
* Walking around without waddling
* Getting rid of my super chubby pregnancy face!
THIS.

"The only difference between tattooed people and not tattooed people is tattooed people don't care if you're not tattooed."
A glass of wine and a margarita!
Sleeping on my stomach.
My old body back.
Walking normally and being able to at least walk without huffin and puffin like a sea cow!
Oh and normal sex!
Wine!
Running
Flat Belly
Normal Ankles
I can't wait to wear cute little dresses again, sexy heels. Also, I can't wait to not have to be safe and cautious in the bedroom. TMI, but I can't wait for DH to throw me around again...also a nice glass of vino at dinner would be GREAT!!
Cheers to being mommies soon, but getting some of the ole' exciting things back!
Alcohol.
I know that makes me sound like a total soak but I am getting tired of my DH sitting down at night and having a nice cold beer while I drink my water. That and just going out to eat and having a nice small mixed drink.
Beyond that I would also agree with shopping. I don't even look at clothes anything because I have no idea what my body is going to look like after LO comes. I miss clothes that fully cover my belly at all times.
I can't wait to be able to put my own shoes and socks on without giving myself a contraction. Also, wine, beer, Mike's hard lemonade, and vodka sodas. Comfy footwear and alcohol is what I'm jonesing for.
