what are you most looking forward to?

[babyontheway]

Just sitting here daydreaming about my new little one comming home.
Can't wait to be sitting outside in the sunshine with DS in the paddeling pool and my new baby sitting on her play mat!
Also can wait to have my body back!
and having my whole family together.
What are you most looking forward to?

I've just had our garden done so I'm the same as you, looking forward to a long hot summer with DS playing outside and baby on a blanket, all content!

I'm also looking forward to seeing what my new baby will look like! And giving him his very first cuddle!

Can't wait to see what he looks like and am also completely overwhelmed that we have created a completely new person, so until I see him, not sure I'll believe it!

This is a lovely thread! I love the sitting in the garden in the sun idea (esp after the snow yesterday!).

Also have this lovely image of DH, LO and I lying in bed together early in the morning.

Getting to know every millimetre of his/her tiny little body. Watching him/her scrunch up their little hands and feet with tiny little nails. Most of all, that unique baby smell! Is there a nicer smell in the world?

Fast forward 1 year/18 months and I have 2 boys to play rough and tumble with!!

In the short term though. I am really looking forward pregnancy to be over and to enjoy the summer without huffing and puffing everywhere I go!!!

OOOH I love that baby smell its georgous! I cant wait for that either !

I also love the way that new borns 'root' it feels like they are giving you tiny little kisses!

OK I am really going to lower the tone here, alcohol, runny cheese and not having SPD

Ahh sophie Like the way you're going!

I can't wait to have a cold glass of wine and know I can have another if I want!! I'm also craving bloody steak at he minute (but that might be lack of iron!!) I could go on about food, but Pate, blue cheese, brie, smoked salmon....... etc etc.....

I'm not a big drinker at the best of times but i do miss the idea of a doubel JD and coke.
OR
black coffee and a cigarette for breakfast. Maybe not straight away cos of feeding but after a couple of weeks!

Steak that is almost raw and runny eggs with solders for dipping!

meeting my baby and seeing it smile for the first time!

not due till end of september but hoping it's a warm autumn so that we can go for walks in the woods and enjoy the outdoors before christmas.

oh and sushi!!!
