1. I want to be able to take a deep breath again without it hurting. 2. I am crazy into photography so I'm excited to have a full-time model. 3. This one truly is ridiculous and probably won't happen much given how needy newborn babies are but: To hand him over to fiancee and at least have 10 minutes where I am actually "by myself."
1. Also to take adorable pictures of LO with our cat 2. Finally see if these ginormous boobs will actually serve a purpose after all of these years 3. Halloween costumes for the next 10+ years
1. I am excited to breastfeed again! I know it sounds crazy considering how hard it is, but I really enjoy the one on one time. 2. Being able to self groom
As @raquel87 said, I'm excited to breastfeed again even though it hurt at first and it was exhausting. I'm also excited to watch my son and his baby brother grow together.
I'm excited for someone else to be able to hold this baby. I'm excited to see how similar (or hopefully) how different this babe is from her big sister. I'm so excited to watch my baby girl become a big sister. ❤

I can't wait to see DH be a daddy. I can't wait to put her in the clothes I have so far! I can't wait to have pictures of my own baby around the house! Pictures in general!
Being able to eat without it feeling like my stomach is going to explode
I was just thinking about this the other day....my favorite eating time of year is here (thanksgiving and Christmas) and I won't be able to indulge like normal!
Also, @canavara you are SO NOT being ridiculous in the "alone time" thing. It is necessary for your sanity and health. Even if the baby cries (which, if the baby gets used to your fiancée from being with him enough, it should be less of an issue...granted, I understand the mom is usually the one with the food!) don't feel bad! Take a shower, nap, go to the store by yourself, etc. The baby and your fiancée will survive (and so will you!). Also, get a babysitter after the first few weeks and go on a DATE. So important.
1. Excited to get off bedrest and get my life and body back (although hopefully it wont be for many weeks) 2. Can't wait to see SO meet his daughter 3. I could really use some wine
Definitely with @Litzi on getting off bedrest! It'll be so nice to get out of the house again (not to a doctor's appointment or sitting somewhere).
I can't wait to see what he looks like. We haven't even had a higher level ultrasound and now he's too low. I also can't wait to try to breastfeed. I think it'll be an amazing bond. Speaking of bonds - I think watching him and DH bond will be the best feeling ever.
Wine. Martinis. Deli sandwiches. Excessive coffee.
I am excited to dress her up and to see who she will resemble! I am also excited to see how big brother is going to react to her. Finally I can't wait to be able to sleep on my stomach.
Oh man so many.... *celebrating Christmas will be SO MUCH more fun with a LO! Singing Christmas songs together, hot cocoa, watching cheesy holiday movies, decorating the tree (i recognize that these won't happen for a few years) *watching Disney movies all over again and sharing old favorites with my LO *baby wearing when out and about *see DH become a dad...he's going to be amazing!!! *I can't WAIT to watch her learn about the world! Psychology and brain stuff is my thing, and i can't help but think of her fresh brain ready to make all these new connections. I want to watch her face as she learns about her feet and hands. I want to see her reactions as she tastes new foods when the time comes. I want to see her see the trees, the sky, feel the wind, and explore. So many things she gets to learn! *bonding *can't wait to see how our little dog will react, I think he'll be a great friend to her *ALL THE CUTE CLOTHES!!!! Can't wait! *I can't wait for us to see the world again through the eyes of a child! Holiday's become more exciting again, snow becomes more fun than just something cold that I hate, fallen leaves become more than irritating messes...instead they're an adventure waiting to happen.
I'm excited to see what she is going to look like and what her personality is going to be. DD1 and DD2 are such opposites that it will be interesting to see the dynamic between all three girls.
I can't wait to see how our dogs are going to react to him, one of our dogs loves kids and will want to play with him when he is older, our old dog is such a cuddle bug, I bet he will just love him as an infant.
4. FEEL SEXY AGAIN (Like real SEXY not that ..is this coming off as a Saturday night live skit kind of sexy)
5. Get my body back
6. Eat Sushi
7. Walk normally
8. and not feel out of breath all the time, get my vision back and (I swear right here I tilted my head to the top right and thought what the heck else was I gonna say..ND them BOOM in it came) GET MY MEMORY BACK!
So many things: 1) Being able to see my feet again 2) Being able to get in and out of my car like a normal person 3) WINE 4) Sleeping on my stomach again 5) Not having what feels like a toddler on my bladder or in my ribs 6) Having my ankles return to a normal size
I'm excited to see my husband hold his son, his first born for the first time. And to see him become a dad. He is such a great husband/hard worker and treats me so well i just know he will make an amazing dad.
Also I'm excited to have a turkey BLT from my favorite lunch restaurant (turkey is the deli kind).
I can't wait to watch H be a dad, see what he looks like and watch his personality unfold, drink wine, watch my dogs be protective over their little bro, and run and feel strong again.
First, I want to know if I have a fellow redhead on my hands. I'm pretty sure I do...
I'm going to take 9 months to a year off from work. I'm SO EXCITED to have a summer off (my first since I was 15... 19 years ago) to be with my son and garden and not be at work!!
And, ditto what many PP said, I cannot wait to watch my husband hold his son for the first time, be a dad, and to raise our babies together.
In general, I can't wait to meet this wild baby who likes to make popcorn and bounce around like a puppy inside of me! It'll be such an adventure to watch his personality unfold. Eeeeeeeeee! Happy.
I cant wait to dress her in everything girlie, plus all the BOWS!
See how my DH does with a girl as we only have boys now, I think he'll be the protective type.
Learn how to breastfeed and hopefully get through it and have that wonderful bond.
See if she looks like me or hubby more. DS looked exactly like me so I am curious to see who she takes after. p.s hopefully she has a lot of hair like DS did.
And to be able to drink on occasion again. I was never a drinker (maybe 2x a year) but I have missed wine.

oh and also be able to drink more than a cup of half-caf coffee a day, though that won't happen until breastfeeding time is over...

I can't wait to wear him at the grocery store!
I can't wait to take a million pictures of him!!
I can't wait to put her in the clothes I have so far!
I can't wait to have pictures of my own baby around the house!
Pictures in general!

2. Being able to see to shave down there
3. Going out for the first time while NOT pregnant
I know none of these involve baby but they are legit reasons I'm excited.
For DS1 to have a brother!
Have good sex again!
To see DD become a big sister
No more pregnancy with a toddler while working full time...this is getting exhausting
Plus: sleep on my back, sleep on my stomach, not pee every 20 minutes...... and able to get off the couch/floor like a normal person... lol

@canavara I so hear you on being alone! Meditation is super difficult when I'm being bombarded with stimulus from INSIDE my body
And dress them up alike sometimes and take so many pictures. Like, so many pictures!
I'm going to take 9 months to a year off from work. I'm SO EXCITED to have a summer off (my first since I was 15... 19 years ago) to be with my son and garden and not be at work!!
