I'm most excited for delivery! I wonder if I'll be the only one in this camp? It's not about rushign the pregnancy or not wanting to be pregnant. Pregnancy is enjoyable and precious (after the 1st tri) but I just find labor & delivery to be magical. I absolutely love it. Of course, I had a beautiful experience my first time around. So here's hoping I can repeat it! We have high hopes.
I was so excited when I first found out I was pregnant, and I was SO excited when I saw baby's heartbeat for the first time, but day to day I just feel so awful that it's hard to feel excited.
I am excitedly looking forward to moving out of this awkward stage where I feel like a fat slug (and I can't even explain to all the people around me WHY I'm acting so strangely) and into a more fun phase where I feel a little more normal and I have a cute little belly and I can feel my baby moving around inside!
My cop-out initial answer is that I'm just so excited to be pregnant that I'm still in that honeymoon stage of appreciating the symptoms and just knowing that I'm pregnant (after about a year of TTC and having had that initial meeting with an RE). It was amazing to see the heartbeat and the little bean of a baby at my u/s this past Friday, too.
My non cop-out answer is that I'm really looking forward to feeling the baby move, and finding out the sex. We'll be able to do a lot more planning like picking out a name, putting together the nursery, etc. once we know that.
I have a feeling this pregnancy is going to be complete opposite of my previous pregnancies, so all of it is exciting. It is almost like I am a FTM all over again. I have spent a good part of my weekend searching twin pregnancy.
I'm another one excited for labor and delivery. I actually did not have a smooth labor last time, but it was still such an amazing experience. And being team green this time around will be fun!
I'm most excited to feel the baby move and have a cute baby bump. I'm also excited for labor and delivery, not because I think it'll be easy, but because I get to meet my little miracle.
I am really excited to feel the baby move. I also can't wait to be able to rest my hands on my cute baby bump and just have those special moments with baby. Today though? I'm excited to get to the point where I'm not nauseous and exhausted. Come on 2nd tri!

I'm a FTM too and I can't wait until our first ultrasound so we can finally feel safe telling extended family. I know they'll all be so excited since this is the first grandchild on both sides.
Not a FTM, but feeling the baby move was cool and weird all at the same time. I have a video of DS moving around in the womb when I was about 38 weeks with him and it looks like a scene from Alien. I'm excited for that again.
@beaseg Me too! My first birth was a traumatic CS, my second pregnancy I wanted my VBAC so bad and I was so scared my whole pregnancy that I would have another CS. I had a lovely hospital VBAC water birth. This time I am really excited to birth at home, without fear, knowing my body can do it.
FTM here, just excited about the whole experience from DH getting super emotional and excited to baby movements and baby glow. I can't wait for our US to make everything a reality.
I'm looking forward so much to hearing (or seeing!) a heartbeat and then to feeling baby move. Also DH and I are team green so imaging that moment when I hear I have a son or daughter. Getting teary eyed now... Damn hormones
Me: 32 DH: 32
Met: 4/25/2004, Married 8/14/2010

TTC (actively) since 5/2013
5/2014 started testing with RE, me: HSG normal, normal AMH, no cysts; DH: great sperm
Unexplained IF + unexplained anovulation (post-pill vs hypothalamic)
Right now I'm most excited to tell my kids. I can't wait to see their reactions. Besides that I'm super excited to get a real baby belly and feel baby move.
FTM here. I'm really looking forward to hearing the baby's heartbeat for the 1st time. I have my first appointment today so I'm hoping to schedule my u/s. I'm only 6 weeks 3 days so I'm sure I'll have to wait a bit longer. I love how excited my dh is. Every night before bed he kisses my belly and says "Good night Peanut. I love you." I know it's kinda cheesy but it is so cute seeing him so excited.

I'm excited for the cute belly in the second trimester before I feel huge and gross in the third trimester. I really just wish the baby would be here soon because I can't wait to meet them.
I’m excited to give my husband
the greatest gift of all…a beautiful baby that’s half me/half him! This is my
third, but his first and he is beyond happy.
As a FTM i'm excited for all the firsts. My first u/s is today. Hoping for a really strong heartbeat. Also excited for the first proper bump and not this stupid bloat belly
Oh, so many things- excited to hear all is well genetically with baby, and finally be able to share the news with family and friends. Looking forward to feeling the baby move, it's so amazing. I know it's a little selfish, but I really enjoy growing the baby- cute baby bump, feeling the kicks and knowing the baby is tucked away safely in my uterus. But for this first trimester, I'd have to agree with @OnceInLoveWithAmy satisfying those pregnancy cravings is nirvana! I'm a total foodie.

I mostly look forward to post birth hormone surge. I love that feeling of total and complete bliss with my family.
