There are tons of things that I can't wait to be done with (swelling, nausea, allergies, etc, etc) but mostly I can't wait to be done with pregnancy so I can nurse my baby. Maybe it's weird to be looking forward to that as much as I am but it's the turth. I even dream about it :blush: What about you?

I'm actually really looking forward to nursing again, too. With my girls, it was such a special time, and DEFINITELY something I never thought I'd experience again. Right now, I'm just trying to savor every bit of this, though.

The biggest thing for me is nursing and getting it right this time. WIth my first, I got lazy and uncomfortable around company and never nursed in public. I took my milk for granted and lost it by the time she was 4 months old. I had to relactate and never got back a full supply. With my second, I did great and was then hospitalized for 2 months when my dd was 10 days old due to postpartum infection. I relactated after getting home but stopped at about 5 months because I couldn't keep up a supply without the Domperidone. I want to get it right this time and I am so determined to see this through. That is the biggest thing for me.

As a first timer, I'm pretty much looking forward to everything. The birth part is kind of scary for me right now, but I know it will pass. I can't wait to get a good CD system, stick with it, and show my doubting family that it can be done. I can't wait to see which one of us she looks like. Only ten weeks to go!

I am really looking forward to nursing also. And mostly just to hold this sweet little one in my arms, and have it sleep on my chest <sigh> i wish time would fly!

I'm looking forward to seeing my toddler's reaction. It's all very well for her to say, "That dress is for baby sister," but she doesn't actually have a clue! And also -- here's a weird one -- I'm looking forward to sharing those first few exhausting weeks with my husband. That whole time of "oh look, the baby's awake... crying... hungry... It would be smart of at least one of us to sleep, but isn't she wonderful?" <g> I know the lack of sleep will quickly become a liability, but we both really loved those middle-of-the-night new-family times together!

I'm also looking forward to nursing! My ds just weaned when I was about 20 weeks along and I really do miss it. But it is diff. nursing a newborn than a toddler. I'm also looking forward to cd'ing a newborn! I didn't start until my ds was 6 mos! And then I'm also looking forward to my home birth and labor, I can't wait!! :D

I am looking forward to birth, cloth diapering a newborn (I didn't CD until my DD was 13 months), wearing my bub in a wrap, practicing EC and I will enjoy nursing again too.

Nursing is definitely a big one... it's been a year and a half since my DS stopped nursing and I was really sad when he did. And honestly, I am really looking forward to the baby just being born so I can prove to my dad that unassisted birth is not a death sentence.

I would say sleeping on my stomach, but I have memories of waking up in wet spots when I am nursing! I co-sleep, so my mammaries are in prodution mode at night.
I can picture the eyes-rolling-back look on my girls faces when they nursed themselves to sleep. I can't wait to see that look again. I want to see my little one smiling with no teeth, and be able to sleep with DH cuddling me from behind and LO curled up in my arms.

Well, it's not nursing :) Nursing was very hard with my son and it didn't go well.
I'm just looking forward to having my body back and slimming down and enjoying my 2 kiddos!

Giving birth, I'm really excited about the whole homebirth experience. It may not be all sunshine and roses but it can't be worse than my last birth!
The joy of BFing a teeny tiny baby who totally depends on you for nourishment. :goodvibes:
Itsy bitsy baby clothes and diapers!
Babywearing again!
Cosleeping with a baby that doesn't weigh 40 lbs. and continually try to kick me out of bed all night.
Also, being able to take an ibuprofen or four whenever I need to!

I just cant wait to hold my baby and see the look on DD #1 when she gets to meet her sister.
The downfall for us is... Its very likely I will go into labor in July, so DD #2 may be in the NICU for a while. Complications suck.

I can't wait to get back to running & sleep on my tummy! However, I find myself getting pretty emotional over her moving out of her little house :( I have been fortunate enough to have a wonderful pregnancy & think we're pretty comfy the way we are LOL

I'm really looking forward to actually being able to hold my baby right away,cause I didn't get that immediate bonding with DS(c-section) I also wasn't able to breastfeed for the same reason , so this is like starting all over for me. I also will be happy to prove to poeople that I'm not automatically defective just cause I have had a c-section by body does work, and it's perfectly safe for me to HBAC!!!!

Sleeping on my stomach :)
I can't get comfortable in any other position so I've convinced myself that if I could just lay on my stomach it would be perfect!
