    Being able to eat without suffering from horrible heartburn and indigestion
    Being able to sleep on my back or stomach as I please.
    Being able to go more than an hour without having to pee.
    Being able to bend over.
    Oh and of course I can't wait to have some wine, sushi, and lunchmeat!

    Well for food things, if I want it now, I eat it if i can't stop thinking about it so I had an Italian hoagie for the first time in 20 years because I could not stop thinking about it, I will have a glass of wine every once in a while, probably three drinks since i realized i was pregnant, and I eat my steak medium rare. Oh and I eat lots of cheese without worrying. DH worries about that and not the deli meat. I worry about the deli meat but if I feel I need a sandwich as I said above, I won't deny it.

    After childbirth, I am looking forward to taking home a healthy baby, sleeping on my stomach or back, not waking up every hour to pee, not waking up with cramps in my legs or hands, being able to easily shave my legs, being able to brush my teeth at night without gagging. I am sure there are more just can't think of them.

    Oh, I hear you on that.

    During my pregnancy with DD, I sent DH out for CINNAMON toothpaste because mint made me barf.

    He couldn't find cinnamon, but he did find berry Hannah Montana stuff that, oddly enough, was tolerable.

    Yes to the cinnamon or berry. I used cinnamon when I was preganant with DD1, but couldn't find it this time around. So I switched to Tom's of Maine strawberry, but I didn't feel like it was doing the best job of getting my teeth clean and my teeth were suffering a little from a lack of whitening toothpaste (despite the lack of coffee and wine), so I switched back to my old minty one about a month ago. It's better than it was first trimester, but still not enjoyable.
