What are you looking forward to?

[bikerunski]

Obviiusly, I am looking forward to have a new baby and everything that goes along with that. But at 34 weeks pg I am also looking forward to:

Peanuts (we are a very allergic family)
Wine
Wearing different clothes
Buying new clothes
Not trying not to tell everyone what sex the baby is (we know but we are not telling)
Actually knowing whether the 20 week scan was right
Actually knowing that the baby is OK
Baby swimming classes! (I love to swim)
Not being treated like a rare delicate flower by my boss (although I realise that this is a good thing)
Not being told "Not long now" by everybody else.
Not giving a toss about work for a year!

Walking places!

Not having to live away from home for five days every week (I work away)
Not being the designated driver EVERY SINGLE TIME we go out
Not having to sit watching everyone else getting drunk while sipping on a J20
Being able to stop downing Peptac after every meal
Meeting our baby for the first time
Not being told what to do when it comes to the child in my care (I'm a nanny)

Just the birth.

Mould ripened cheese.

thats enough for me. i want a massive dripping ripe brie and then mouldy stilton....

Am only 11 weeks with no 2 but already looking forward to big glass of champagne, spending hours staring at baby and marvelling at the miracle in front of me and introducing DS to his little brother or sister...

Gin

red wine and a very bloody steak...

just gettting him out

A glass of white wine

Finally seeing what my girl will look like

Not having weird cravings at 4am when everywhere is shut!

The buzz of family and friends coming after the birth to give their congratulations

Being a Mum
Seeing my DH become a Dad
Giving birth (why does no one tell you positive stories about birth until you're pregnant? Recently I've heard some really lovely tales and I'm looking forward to it now)
Cute baby clothes
Oozy gooey cheese
Mussels
No work for a year
And the rest of my pregnancy (but so far it's been easy, I might change my mind!)

coffee
cider (and all other booze but cider... or champagne... in the first instance)
jeans
jogging
blue cheese

Alcohol
Sashimi
Staring helplessly at newest small person

-Wine
-Not waddling when I walk
-Not making that stupid noise when I bend over to pick something off the floor
-Not being asked if I've had any twinges yet(am 39+6)
-Not having a gap between my trousers and my top
-Meeting my baby, obviously

Champagne
Sleeping on my stomach/being able to turn over in my sleep and thus not waking up stiff as a board
Meeting my son
Seeing DP meet his son
Some long-awaited happy times for our family
Not going back to my boring job

Finally getting to see what he looks like
A vaginal birth
Brie
Stilton
Goats Cheese
Eating whatever I fancy, when I want it - it helps the bf'ing don't you know
Breastfeeding again
Being able to walk long distances without huffing and puffing and clutching my bump.
I think I could go on and on .........

Not being kicked when I'm trying to sleep! Spent much of last week muttering "I don't care how much you scream and projectile-poo once you're born - at least you won't be kicking me all the time!"

Sushi... and an oozing Brie!
Hopefully, being able to walk again (have SPD)

This is my last day of work for a year, too!
It'll be a change if not a rest...

Blue Cheese!
Being able to eat a full meal

bloody steak
runny egg
wine, wine, wine!!
being able to breath when i bend over
not having to go to the loo 10 times a night

being able to use all the new stuff we have bought

Apart from all the usual baby stuff...

-Champagne!!!!
-A beer
-Salami etc.
-Being able to move/walk
-Not getting up every hour or so to wee
-mmmm a nice vodka and coke, or JD and coke... or something like that! Ooooh, really craving that now! And i'm not a big drinker

Oh yes, a nice proper coffee. With a muffin. Cor, I am going to have this all on a tray when I get home!

Sleep. You think I'm kidding but I have such bad insomnia I'm averaging 2 hours a night at the moment.

Having a little boy (1st is a girl) and seeing the difference between the 2.

Breastfeeding again.

Masses of sushi.

No more acid reflux

Having room to eat a whole meal and keep it down

For all brie lovers - put a whole one in the oven for 10 minutes (best in the box) and then dunk it with bread. Its yum and its allowed!
