After your baby is born this Sept./October

Whats some of the first things you are going to do when the baby is born? Or are looking forward to doing?

Me? I'm definately looking forward to wearing my jeans that "zipup" again.
Sleeping on my stomach and eating a full meal without getting indigestion and heartburn.

I couldn't sleep on my tummy for several months after my births, but mostly that's due to having c-sections.  HOWEVER, if you're breastfeeding, your breasts may be too tender, too.  (And LEAKY!)

I cant wait to sleep on my belly. And as i'm used to big boob's i'm hoping it isn't that bad. AND a nice plate of gammon steak, chips and runny egg (yolk) oh the pain. I really want a runny egg. Oh and eat lots and lots of tuna, i miss that. And nuts, but i have to wait till after i finish breast feeding to eat nuts because my hubby's allergic, i don't want to pass it on to baby. I never realised how hard it would be to avoid nuts.

I look forward to putting an end to this waiting for baby to come out of my body, where he does not fit!  I agree with all the other things posted (tummy sleeping, not peeing constantly, bending over, wearing normal clothes--even if they're a size bigger for awhile--, not feeling miserable all the time), but this is my third c-section, so I also know it will be several months before ANY of that happens.  But 12 more days until I'm on the road to it!

I look forward to having by body back and of coarse sleeping on my stomach!!!  I look forward to being able to walk, bend over, and actually be able to play with my 2 year old son without feeling so miserable!!!  I really look forward to getting this baby out.  It is a sad thought in some ways that pregnancy is almost over though considering you spend a very small portion of your life pregnant.  And I really believe this will be my last.

I'm really looking forward to sleeping on my front, wearing my normal clothes and drinking a big gin and tonic! :) I'm going to breastfeed so I may have to wait a while for the last one.

lol I'm also looking forward to sleeping on my belly. I keep saying it is the first thing I will do as soon as I give birth. I'm a bit disappointed to hear that it hurts though if you have big boobies from breast feeding...maybe I will have to wait a bit longer before I can on my belly :(

Also looking forward to wearing my old clothes and loosing some baby weight. And we're coming up to summer here in Australia so it'll be so nice to get outside again.

I can't wait to see my feet without bending over lol.
It will be great to not have to pee every 15 minutes, roll over in bed without having to wake up to do so, drink a margarita!!! (not breast feeding), start dropping this weight and work on getting back to work again. I am looking forward to all these things. I am not looking forward to being sleep deprived for the next year or so but we can't have everything now can we???

I'm looking forward to losing the weight and starting weight watchers. I'm going to have the body I haven't seen in over 5 years back.... the baby factory is closed with 3 kids, a 4 year old, 16 month old and new born. Should keep me busy.

I'm also looking forward to laying on my belly but that won't happen until the milk factory is closed too.... hurts too much with big breasts.
