[Nicole730]

Sleeping on my stomach

Being able to do simple things - like walk around the block or go up and down stairs - without getting out of breath

Not being tired all the time

[GoofyInOK]

-Being able to do intense, strenuous exercise...  It helped my mood so much!

-No back pain!

-Feeling sexy & like having sex...  I was good to go still until the third trimester, now the thought is like UGH, especially with the contractions I've been having.  

[LeaPea]

1. Beer

2. Comfortable sex

3. Sleeping on my back

and clothes that don't require a spandex band around my belly!!

[mrs_mandolini]

1. my ambition
2. my sharp, multitasking brain
3. not being surrounded by empty blister packs of zofran and unisom

[Belia]

1. My appetite and the "normal" taste in my mouth after I eat.

2. A non-pain-filled pelvis

3.  Feeling like a good mom to my 3 YO DS.  I'm so tired and uncomfortable and in varying degrees of nausea all the time.  I feel bad telling him "no" constantly when he wants me to play with him.

[modestmothering]

Let me add, also, being able to go out in the sun for more than 10 minutes.  I overheat and my eyes can't handle it!

[tatangel19]

1. Sleep. Any of it.
2. The ability to take Advil. Tylenol is worthless for my spinal pain.
3. My ankles.

[scarykarrey]

1. Runny eggs

2. Summertime mojitos

3. Sleeping on my back and stomach

[Jodie]

I just have to say I still eat runny eggs here and there.

1. Comfortable sex during and feeling comfortable after

2. Sleeping on stomach

3. Feeling comfortable in clothes. I have to buy my maternity clothes used and its hard to find a good fit and or exactly what I want to wear, especially bottoms.

At this point I am loving days when I don't have to go anywhere because then I can just stay in PJs.

[scarykarrey]

There have been a few times when I've wanted to eat some anyway (and believe me, I've snuck some raw cookie dough!), but my partner always tsks and makes me feel bad and then I go ahead and scramble them instead. GRAR.

[ms.shell]

I eat two runny poached eggs almost every single morning and have during this whole pregnancy.  I didn't get any this morning and just asked DH to make me some now, in the afternoon (I consider myself to be a good cook, but for some reason I can't poach eggs right! He always cooks them perfectly for me).  He keeps joking that he hopes baby doesn't come out "undercooked" because of this.

As for what I miss, lately it has been my belly button!  It's completely flat right now!

and Aleve for pain; Tylenol doesn't help me at all!

[maxnmaizy]

1. I miss exercising and being active. Its just been too painful for me this whole pregnancy. I still clean houses for work so I am somewhat active, but its not the same thing as a good run.

2. Comfortable sex. Its too much work these days for not much orgasm anyway. I miss being on the bottom and getting a good f*cking (hope that is not offensive to anyone, just being honest).

3. Tequila.
