Besides obviously meeting LO and enjoying a lifelong gift of motherhood, what are you most excited about post-pregnancy? Having that long-awaited margarita? Sushi?
For me it's getting back into my normal exercise routine without limitations, being able to shave my ladybits and legs without it being a shot in the dark, and being able to wear non-maternity clothes; as silly as it sounds. Isn't it funny how pregnancy makes you appreciate these little things?
Re: I can't wait for...
I've still been enjoying sushi- as I only like the cooked stuff anyways! But I agree with you- can't wait to get back to my normal exercise, I miss running!!
Oooh, I've got a list! I can't wait:
-to be able to get up and down and play with my toddler the way I'd like to
-to wear my normal, non-maternity clothing again
-to be able to eat the foods I like without suffering terrible nausea and heartburn
-to be able to wear my engagement ring and wedding band again
-to meet my 2nd daughter and to watch my 1st daughter meet her little sister
There's more, but I'll stop there.
-to feel pretty again
-to see my dh hold his first son
-to have those snugglie nights (or days) with LO on my shoulder
-sweet baby smells
-riding the jet skiis again!!!!!
Drink caffeine...and not worry about "moderation"
Exercise again at an intense level
Stop having to answer "when are you due?" 19 times a day... followed by the what are you having, do you have names .... when I just want to pay for my damn gas!
Look like myself....this chick waddling around our house is definately not the hell on heels my DH married.
Be able to give DH a hug and kiss when he gets home thats actually tight ...not like we're in middleschool dancing with a basketball between us.
I have a list!
I can't wait...
to play with my daughter and run around the way I want to
to start dropping some serious LBS and fit into my pre pregnancy clothes
to eat fast food and really sugary food and pop and juice (I have GD)
and to not get up every 2 hrs to pee at night
playing with my boys again
feeling like a normal person again
red wine
THIS!
Every pregnany I wish I had been a side sleeper or something beforehand... I miss laying on my belly and sleeping soundly.
// I love you too. //
To see my son for the first time!
Breastfeeding
Strolls in the Fall with LO all snuggled up
Real Sex, not pregnancy sex
Finding a perfect routine with LO
and Watching my DH with our son, Walter
my nursery progress
...to see DH hold the baby.
... to get back into marathon running shape
... to sleep without pain, discomfort, or being on my side.

lose the weight in my face, arms and a**
not have backaches anymore
