I'm still pregnant but there are SO many things that I would love to do right now. 1. Sleep on my stomach 2. Have a margarita or 3 3. Shave my legs normally 4. Walk without a waddle 5. Actually pee when I need to pee... instead of making it to the bathroom to realize it's just pressure on my bladder. 6. Go shoe shopping or just wear any of my normal shoes again instead of flip flops. 7. Wear my rings again. 8. Go on a walk without worrying about peeing myself 9. (NOT least though) cuddle with my baby girl
You get the point. The list goes on..... I'm so jealous of all of you and your outside babies!
Sleeping comfortably on my stomach, drinking pumpkin beer, taking a walk with LO and not waddling, wearing my rings again, not feeling huge constantly, not being treated as if I'm disabled.
To be honest I find c-section recovery more uncomfortable than being 40 weeks pregnant! That said, I love being able to indulge (guilt free) in sushi, deli meat, and Brie! Oh, and going more than 10 minutes without needing to pee is awesome too.
I loved being pregnant and actually miss it a little bit. BUT, I do LOVE red wine, salmon sashimi, sleeping on my back, not having pelvic pain/pressure (though at first I would have preferred that over the pain from stitches), going longer than 30 minutes without peeing, and getting up off the floor/couch without getting a rocking start.
All you ladies make me want to drink wine....I had little one a week ago and haven't had a glass of wine yet. I do enjoy being able to do my toe nails, no more waddling, and like everyone else being able to sleep however I want.
Today was the first time I recognized one of my ankles... swelling is finally starting to go down!!! I also love sleeping however I want now... haven't had any wine yet but cannot wait!!

Brody was born on September 23, 2013 at 6.33am weighing 8lb 14oz.
I sleep just as uncomfortably not-pregnant because of all of my booby problems. And I have more aches and pains recovering from my c-section than I did while pregnant.
But I do like seeing my lady parts back to normal. And simply seeing her at all is nice. I've had a couple of beers which were great. Holding my baby and not my belly is marvelous. And finally using all of this baby stuff I've been buying for nine months!!!
I miss: Sleeping on my stomach Having a beer or two Not sweating while doing the simplest of things. For example: putting on toe nail polish. I just took a shower, dried my hair and by the time I finished my nails my hair was drenched with sweat, gross!!! My butt/hip not hurting
MegStark summed it up really well! I can't wait to meet our little girl!!!!! It will be worth these small inconveniences.

I can actually drive and comfortably check my blind spot.
Everything else I thought of has already been said.
