What Are You Looking Forward To?

Venus04 · August 2014

I'm trying desperately to let go of my plans for L&D, and just go with the flow (which looks like it may include going over my due date). It's so frustrating that I'm trying to look past that day to what lies beyond. Because, hey, one way or another L&D sucks all the sucks, am I right? So let's share what we are looking forward to AFTER delivery. Specifically, selfish things that don't necessarily have to do with the baby. If we get good feedback, I'll try and make a master list and post it so you can keep that in your head during L&D. I've been so obsessed with when and how I'm going to give birth. Maybe what I (we?) need to focus on are the little things that await us on the other side.

Positivity. I'm giving it a try.

Oh, and I'll go first:

Margaritas

Pants that button

Carrying less weight

Heartburn (to hell with you)

jojosmommmy · August 2014

Mimosas, fall (normal sized) clothes, and no more heartburn or sciatica!

We have a big party the Saturday before Labor Day to go to that we go to every year and camp out afterwards. It's huge and they have tons of beer wagons and tons of friends and family go. I am so excited that I will be able to drink beer at this thing!! I really miss beer. :-bd

Not taking Zantac anymore; hard cider, wine, and beer; not feeling like belly is being stretched to the max; salami, proscuitto, and sopressata; sleeping however I want; getting out of bed without it being a major feat.

GETTING MY BODY BACK, wearing my clothes again and feeling attractive, being able to drink more than one glass of wine or beer, being able to drink cocktails, being able to drink wine without immediately getting acid reflux, being able to shave my lady bits again.

ETA- sex in more than 2 positions.. the only 2 that we can still do.

An Oberon, a cold glass of Chardonnay, raw sushi, a really hot bath that turns my skin bright red, working out at a high intensity again.

kareik01 · August 2014

I'm going with the 100% majority so far and saying alcohol. Just alcohol in general. It's been a long 9 months.

Getting my body back.

Sleeping on my belly

Ankles and feet that don't resemble a hippo's

Normal exercise!

BlckRoses · August 2014

Cocktails (all my mocktails are missing vodka or gin)

Being able to wear all my beautiful shoes again

Spending 12 weeks on maternity leave only focusing on the baby and no work

Our trip to Vegas at the end of October

Baby Halloween costumes

kiley820 · August 2014

These have mostly been said but here I go

Sunday morning mimosas & the wine from Italy that has been staring me in the face for the past few months

Wearing my cute clothes again & not having to rotate the same 5 outfits over and over

Having and enjoying sex again

Eating all the sushi & a turkey sub from my favorite sandwich shop

Sleeping (in general) but especially sleeping on my stomach!

Along the same lines of sleeping...getting out of bed without 10 different maneuvers and moaning and groaning (also included is the couch!)

Not having a pharmacy of medications and ointments for every part of my aching body like I'm 90 years old

Getting back to my yoga class and not feeling like a big fat cow

AngieGrace07 · August 2014

Sushi! Sleeping on my back! And most of all, energy.

CanadianintheSouth · August 2014

Stomach sleeping, no more hip pain, hopefully getting rid of the roids, beer of all kinds, moving without groaning, wearing my heels again, wearing my pretty clothes again, not having the snoogle take up my entire bed, being able to go on long walks in the park again, walking normally again in general. Plus everything that everyone else has said!

Raclla · August 2014

Drunk sex

tamarar5 · August 2014

Picking up my toddler without feeling like I'm going to tear my insides out. Or feel like I'm peeing myself.

basketballbelly · August 2014

- Being a mum for the first time and having our own little family
- Eating sashimi, soft cheese, cured meats, soft serve icecream etc
- Sleeping on my back, or front, or however I want
- Getting back into intense exercise
- Buying and wearing non-maternity clothes
- Being able to hug my husband and not have my face one metre away because of the belly
- Getting my hair done

winterkate · August 2014

Wow so many good ones. Mine:

Wine, wine, wine, and beer
Yoga! Like sun salutations with full chatteranga (sp?)
Zumba!! (Like salsa without feeling like my hip is going to go out!)
Seared tuna, salmon rolls, and wasabi all without fear of heartburn
Shoes! And my cute fall clothes (hope they fit soon)
Last but definitely not least- feeling sexy and having sex (not baby making sex) with DH- and yeah he was one of those who was afraid to hurt the baby once she got too big, so it's been AWHILE. Sigh.
