- Roll over in bed without getting a Braxton Hicks contraction and needing to get up to go to the bathroom
- Get up off the couch without feeling like a beached whale
- Hug my husband and fit the right way
- Pick things up off the floor without grunting
- See my toes
- Run and exercise and start to get back into shape
- Wear my wedding ring on my finger instead of on a necklace
- Wear a shirt without having to constantly tug it down over my belly
- Stand and sit without back pain and needing to lie down
- Walk up stairs and not get out of breath
- Walk without my feet hurting
- Hold a sweet, cuddly little baby
I'm giving myself "a few months" because I know not all of this comes at once. And I know that the next few months will be challenging in many ways (lack of sleep, buying diapers all the time, nursing, dealing with a big sister and lots of changes, etc.) but there sure are a lot of things to look forward to!

Yeah I'm right there with you, though my belly is just now starting to get in the way! C'mon, post a photo! Let's see the belly!
The last few weeks of pregnancy were definitely the ickiest for me. At that point, I was soooo ready for the baby to come and for my body to get somewhat back to normal! And even though there wasn't a lot of sleep to be had after the baby was born, the sleep that I did get was sooooo much more restful...like you said, no back pain, no having to go to the bathroom, I could lie on my stomach. Even the 1 hour a night was pure bliss!
let me know if there is any way i can help you guys out!
oh! and by the way, you are super cute pregnant! just like i had always imagined!
