Five things I'm looking forward to doing once the gigantababy is out.....
(not in any particular order and not necessarily straight away...)
1) Shave/Veet my own legs - I mean hubby does a good job, but hello - I'd like to be able to reach AND see my own ankles
2) Eat sushi - chicken teriyaki sushi - my order is in
3) Have a glass of ice wine with my SIL (we are the designated drivers, so it will be nice, after a year for us to have a glass of wine and make the boys drive home sober)
4) Sleep on my side without the aid of five pillows and an engineering-type crane assisting me
5) Have [protected] sex with my hubby that doesn't involve finding moves to pretend like there aren't three of us involved (sorry if TMI, but really, getting it on where I feel like I have my own body back is up there on the list at the moment)

Ok lets see.....

1. Having salmon and avocado sushi! Bring it on!!!!! I'm also hanging out for chinese (the smorgsboard food court type) and butter chicken from the indian place in Glenfield mall.
2. Being able to sleep more comfortably and not have to wake up to roll over in bed
3. Losing the demented duck waddle and getting some real exercise. With this nice weather coming I'm really looking forward to being able to get out walking without getting smacked in the cervix or bladder by a baby jostling around!
4. Being able to get up off the floor/chair/bed/sofa without looking like a turtle stranded on it's back!
5. Sex. Protected. 5 condoms please.

1)  Mmmm, salmon and avocado sushi. 

2)  a beer.  Heineken, please! 

3)  sleeping comfortably... and on my back.  Only by then I guess I won't be sleeping for that long anyway!

4)  Making our own family rituals for Christmas day and mothers/fathers days, because by then we'll be able to say 'well this is how our little family is doing it so suck it up if that doesn't fit in with what you all had planned for us!'.

5)  Go walkies with bubs in the stroller.

1. Waking up in the morning and not having to throw up - that's waaaaaay up the top of the list!

2. Teriyaki chicken sushi, a chicken kebab with bbq and garlic sauce and a cream donut - and Willie had better produce them at the hospital! In fact, any form of chicken is good - the babies seem to be pretty anti and I can't stand it atm.

3. Being able to stay up past about 8pm - although that might take a while!

4. Sex. No nicer way to put it. Love don't live here atm and Willie has been sleeping in the spare room so it will be nice to actually remember what sex is...

5. Not being reduced to 2 pairs of pants that actually fit and don't hurt.

Oh, and the most important ones of all are meeting my little girls, and seeing the look on Maya's face when she meets her baby sisters - she thinks this whole thing is taking waaaay too long!

2. Sex that doesn't leave one of us with cramp in our legs (sorry if TMI!)

3. Being able to bend, twist and stretch without discomfort or pain!

4. Attacking the forest with my razor and bikini trimmer.

5. Being able to read Josiah a story while he's sitting on my knee, and be able to cuddly him 'cause he's not a million miles away.

Ooo, this looks like fun. I'm sure mine will change closer to the end, but at the moment..

1) Sleep on my back without feeling like there is a bowling ball with hyperactive legs inside me!

2) BEER. A really nice cold beer

3) Ham! I loooove ham. (Have been naughty though and had lots of ham over christmas)

4) Rolling over in bed without feeling like there is a 10 second delay between my body and my belly getting there

5) Intimacy that doesn't involve me laughing my head off cause it tickles. I swear, it doesn't matter where DP touches me, it tickles or is too sensitve and I laugh, and well, that's the end of that.

6) Cuddling and seeing my little boy.

I could have all five involving food, however.....

1. A bottle of wine, not just a glass. A nice Sav ahhhhhhhhhh

2. Shrimps, and lots of them, and maybe some scallops too

3. Being able to wear my "skinny" clothes again (note to self, may take a while!)

4. Not looking like Dolly Parton in the chest area (again, may take a while!)

5. Not having to go to work!!!!

1. A glass (or bottle) of a really nice cold reisling.

2. Giving up the Mylanta/Quickeze, I am soo over the reflux.

3. Sleep, well I know I won't be getting too much of this but at least I will be slightlty more comfortable, and won't need as many pillows.

4. Food, being able to eat pretty much anything I want to, Ham, Hollandaise, Aioli........

5. Finally meeting the gremlin that has kicked and prodded me, made me sick, tired, uncomfortable, pee heaps, gain heaps of weight, stretched my stomach to breaking point, made me cry and laugh and be grumpy and giving it a huge cuddle & lots of kisses
