At this point, sleeping on my back will be the biggest indulgence. Seriously, exhausted doesn't even begin to describe how tired I am these days. I know sleep will be interrupted by my baby, but at least I will be comfortable during the sleep I do get.
Sleeping flat on my back and on my stomach. Being able to put on and tie my shoes. Being able to shave my legs without getting short of breath. Not having to pee every 5 minutes. Not worrying about everything I put in my mouth. Drinking large quantities of Iced Cappuccinos from Tim Hortons.
Being able to breathe!! Baby is head down and engaged but has her feet firmly planted in my lungs. It's to the point now that at 36w I can't find any position that allows me to be able to breathe. It's making for one exhausted worn out momma.
And then of course I can't wait to shave my legs without trouble. And I can't wait to turn over in bed without the groin pain, or even walk without the groin pain.
Scotch, wine, and stomach sleeping. Although I did have only lady tell me she has never been able to sleep on her stomach since she was pregnant because it did something to her back and it seizes up when she tries ... That will give me a great big sad if it happens.
Looking forward to great sex again...our sex life was awesome but these past couple months it's dwindled because of various pains, discomforts, generally feeling crappy! Ugh missing my DH in that way
Somersby (a cider) mmm and drinking other ice cold ciders this summer
Working out - holy crap I miss my old work outs and I'm looking forward to getting back into it! This whole exhausted after light weights and yoga thing is driving me batty
Sangria and beer, sushimi, sleeping on my back, being able to just step over the baby gates in my house we have up for my dog (instead of having to undo them every time so I don't trip), shaving my legs when it isn't a 15 minute ordeal, tying my own shoes, SEX*...I'm sure there's more but those are the things I'm looking the most forward to!
*edited to include maybe one of the most important things
Since sex won't be cleared for about 8-10 weeks after baby is here, I'll settle for a bottle (or 6) of Veuve and sleeping on my stomach. Been indulging in almost everythine else in moderation, but definitely could use a few drinks and a decent nights sleep!
Beer, Margarits, Sushi, Ceasar salad, not being out of breath after walking five feet, Normal Sex (it just is not real fun for me anymore), did I mention a beer?
A jumbo margarita Blue moon- which I've craved all through being pregnant and never had before Sushi A huge java chip mocha frappe from Starbucks Wine Amazing sex with Hubby
Full on marathon SEX!!! Lol I'm such a hornball anyway and even tho we've done it throughout this PG it's not even been close to our normal pace. We are taking a one day vaca when I'm cleared That and full on ballet class. None of this pansy "half ass it" business. I don't really drink caffeine or alcohol anyway bc if my heart condition so that's not enticing.

Same here and add a cold to that! Mine will be taking real medicine, lox on a bagel, goat cheese, diet coke and wine.
I've been eating all the food you all are mentioning... So I want wine. All the wine!
Me too. All these posts are making me feel guilty for not being more strict about the off limits foods. I did avoid the alcohol, though, so at least there's that.
and diet coke. i feel guilty drinking aspartame while pregnant so i've avoided it. i miss diet soda.
for all you ladies avoiding cheeses, it's pretty near impossible to find unpasteurized cheese in the US, so you are torturing yourselves for no reason.
Wine, sushi, beer, sub sandwiches, sleeping on my stomach, regular coffee and getting back to running half and full marathons instead of just feeling like I have run one while trying to do small things, like putting away laundry or shaving my legs.

Same! I have been eating sushi the whole time, not frequently but a few times. My midwives said go for it!
I am dying for a cold beer and a real workout! I miss sweaty yoga classes and hiking! And pretty much everything else that has been listed.
