What Do You Miss the Most? Looking forward to after pregnancy is over?

With pregnancy there are so many don'ts. I have to admit that I love being pampered by my dh but there are things that I really miss that I can't do/have while pregnant. I was curious to see what everyone is missing the most out of everything?

This weekend we had beautiful weather. Made it hard to believe that it was February in Oregon. DH was outside doing yardwork and I went out to keep him company but really couldn't do much but watch. I really miss not being able to do things like yardwork. I don't go grocery shopping anymore without DH and I have to keep the trips short otherwise I get into too much pain and contractions will come. I love rearranging my furniture every now and then to keep things fresh but can't do it myself. I hate having to wait to ask DH to do these things for me. I am a pretty independent person and don't like to have to rely on others to do things for me all of the time and it's starting to drive me crazy.

What are you missing the most/looking forward to doing again after the baby is born?

Eating pancakes!  I so miss eating pancakes and I so wants them with  blueberry jam and whipped cream.

Otherwise, I still can do the shopping and I am feeling kind of fine, well I have to go   3 times for getting what I could get ones, but I still can.

It just pancakes and eating I really miss.

I miss sushi and beer for lunch with my co-workers. :smileyhappy: Well, the beer not so much because I hardly drink since I've gotten older, but the sushi for sure. I also miss going for jogs. I just told DH the other day that I really miss going for my jogs and I can't wait to get back to them. For now, I go for walks, but I've been getting lower pelvic pains for a few days afterward. Other than that, being comfortable at night while I sleep, though I know I won't even get that after delivery. :smileywink:

I miss being able to comfortably do laundry. Laundry is already a huge ordeal around here with 5 kids but add to the fact that carrying the baskets around is so difficult with this belly... ugh!

I also miss the usual stuff like the occasional glass of wine, going for a run, sleeping comfortably, putting on my shoes without having to sit down etc.
