Where do I start?? Sleeping without waking up every hour, wine and margaritas, ALL THE CAFFEINE, sushi, no more heartburn, being able to fit in my clothes, and not feeling sick when I get hungry. I'm sure this list will grow as time goes on!
@JanaBonfield .... I take a hot bath every day.... sometimes twice a day. There is no science behind the no hot bath myth. ... not as far as the baby goes....
I'm looking forward to sushi and a nice cold beer. I've been dying for it ever since I found out I couldn't have it. Oh and to not feel bloated and not wake up every night to pee.
I am so looking forward to having the nausea be gone, not getting sick if I haven't eaten and sushi! I love me some sushi. I will be having sushi sometime this week but it won't be my favorite rolls : (
Waiting to be me again ! To not have the 24/7 nausea and to be able to eat and enjoy food. Pretzels and Gatorade don't count as real food to me. 12w2d please say this is sometime soon ?!
Losing the weight, maybe not worrying quite as much about what I eat, sleeping on my stomach, hopefully not waking up with horrible dry mouth, not being so hungry I have to eat all the time, acne going away....
TACOS. They have long been my favorite food, but even the thought of them makes me gag lately. And I'm going to wash them down with a gallon of hot black coffee.
Also, being able to stay awake for more than 6 hours without wanting to collapse. That would be super.

Looking forward to having cold cuts again lol. I'm dying for ham n Swiss on a roll!! This was actually the first meal I had in the hospital thanks to my brother after I had my daughter.
Not puking all the time. Espresso and Diet coke and drinking lots of cab merlot blend wine in one sitting. Not being able to smell EVERYTHING and to be able to eat chicken again.
SLEEPING ON MY STOMACH. MARGARITAS. Having consistent food preferences (not this oh the stars are aligned just right for lo mein–oh nevermind it smells like vomit now I want a blueberry pie). Not having a PERSON INSIDE ME (seriously that's been freaking me out like CRAZY).

I'm looking forward to 2nd tri energy! For Sure!
A bath is ok. A hot tub no. As my doctor said: Babies don't like to be cooked
I'm looking forward to sushi. I'm already planning a trip to an all-you-can eat sushi bar after I give birth. Oh and prosciutto. I'm Italian and not eating this delicacy kills me.
Running! I stopped running a few months before I got pregnant, and after I never returned after I found out I was expecting. I feel like it's too late now, since I took so much time off. I can't wait to run again and feel fit! Also, sleeping on my tummy. And wine. All the wine.

You can have sushi. Raw or cooked. Just make sure it's from a reputable place that follows food safety seriously, and not more than once a week or so. Avoid high Mercury like mackerel. Enjoy.

If Im not wrong prosciutto is the one cured meat we can eat!
I have the worst all day sickness, I can't wait for that to go away 2nd tri. I miss sushi... And wine.. And rough sex. It's so sensitive I'm not used to that, neither is hubby. Just started week 10.
No more nausea. Finding out the gender, and hopefully getting good results from the genetic blood test thing next week. Eating whatever sounds good to me, whenever possible and as often as possible. Announcing to the world, finally. Feeling "safe" enough to buy some cute baby stuff. And did I mention no more nausea?!
Between worrying about whether the pregnancy will make it to term, and worrying about how tough certain things are now, and how tough things are going to be after the baby arrives... Pregnancy-related stuff is all that I'm really looking forward to right now.
I can't wait to feel a little better and just be myself again. I want to make my bf a really nice dinner because lately I don't want to cook let alone eat. Preparing food makes me disgusted! He's always trying to make me feel better and making me whatever I want. I can't wait for the day that I'm no longer a burden on him like this.
Seriously to stop puking. Or having my nose shut down because it can't handle smells. Last time 8 lost most of my morning sickness by 12 weeks, I am 12 weeks tomorrow and this whole week hs been trying to not puke. I just want to enjoy food again...like meat..
Just something different besides the obvious puking...my nails!!! I've always had thin, brittle nails that I'd have to keep trimmed down to nothing. Now I don't know if it's the prenatal vitamins or the hormones or both, but they're the longest and strongest they've ever been! So I'm looking forward to girlish looking hands with painted nails for as long as it lasts!
I always long to sleep on my tummy after birth, but I never get any sleep due to VERY severe cases of reflux in my babies. So, that is just a mirage.
I look forward to completing my family and closing up the baby-making shop with this baby. Four babies is enough for me.
I look forward to getting full night's sleep about a year from now ....if I am lucky.
I look forward to finding out the gender right before Thanksgiving next month.
I look forward to wrapping up the first year of this little person's life in April 2017 and I look forward to no one needing a diaper in April of 2019. Seriously.
I look forward to a quiet home birth with my children around me. (I have had three hospital births and I AM DONE with that. No more hospital births for me, unless it is an emergency.)
I need to add to my list: to stop gagging and puking. Its gotten a lot better, but I haven't gone a full week without puking yet. Yesterday I had the worst headache ever that lasted all day. I was nauseous and threw up twice. The first time was immediately after I swallowed my dissolved zofran which made me gag while it was dissolving. For the first time in my adult life.....I did not make it to the toilet, and projectile vomited all over the bathroom floor. I'm so over this sickness crap!

Sex where I don't feel squished/suffocated or winded.
COOKING. And eating whatever I want at restaurants without having to spend hours researching menus ahead of time.
And being a little league mom.

Also, finding out the gender. I am itching to go shopping and they just don't have enough in the neutral department!

While pregnant? To have a big ole bump!
The thing I will look forward to the most? Sleeping on my stomach. Or on my back. I haaaate(d?) being limited in my sleeping positions.
