I'm 33 wks preg, so the rental agreement I've got with DD2 is up soon sad

But apart from missing her being snug in there, there are so many things I'm looking forward to, laying down in the bath, not having to wake up to turn over at night, and most of all having more than just three pairs of jeans to choose from in the morning smile

What can't you wait to do?

Good thread!

Oh lots, im looking forward to not worrying about everything i eat/dont eat. Not waking up 50 million times a night while turning over or needing a wee. Like you, im looking forward to having more clothes to choose from! Not feeling sick and exhausted. Being able to pick my DD1 up again. Drinking cola without a major guilt trip. LOSING WEIGHT
Lying on my tummy in bed. Getting close to DF again (cant bear to be touched now, 34 weeks and irritable lol) being able to breathe! Im sure there are more I am enjoying pregnancy more this time round though so i will miss having DD wriggling around in there

Look forward to reading replies!
Oooooh loads.
Looking forward to walking without hips causing pain.
Dying hair blonde again.
Running around with DS.
Living on cappacino's.
Not worrying about swine flu quite as much (although will prob worry about new born catching it)!
Huuuuuuge glass of wine.
Getting my face back (33 weeks and look like a hampster storing nuts).
Wearing high heels (but thats probably another 18 months away)and getting dressed up!
But yes like both of you, I will miss things about being PG too. x

Wearing other shoes than Uggs

Doing my bikini line myself

Wearing other thing than leggings

Eating a steak tartare!

To be able to bend down to get stuff on the floor

Stopping having to take antibiotics (my body is reacting against the pregnancy hormones)

Surely there are more but I'll also miss the kickboxing session DS is having inside sad

I need a drink! For some reason this time I am dying for a few drinks.

I want to walk around a shop for longer then 5 minutes without feeling faint and sick.

I want to have fun with dd again.

Roll on January smile

Hm..... Port and stilton. Being able to pick things up quickly when I drop them on the floor. Enjoying an evening without my legs deciding that they would like to jump around for a couple of hours. Not feeling the need to rub/scratch my tummy whilst in a public or professional environment. Not looking like dracula every time I brush my teeth. Wearing my wedding and engagement rings again!

Yeah, it's weird isn't it, it's so uncomfortable nearer the end, and you have to 'give up' so much, but it's lovely having that closeness to them.
Proper sex grin

Thai boxing

Red wine [dribble]& the mouldiest cheese ever (poss foie gras...don't shoot me!)

Having some nice, normal clothes with buttons!

(Am 35 weeks today)
I will miss her so much; she is my last baby so really i don't mind how late she is!
