    I'm like 18 weeks pregnant or something and I freaking miss a good cabernet so bad. Caffine, I'm fine without, however I do miss a Coke every now and again, but I miss a nice red wine so bad this time around. With Moose, it was easy. This time, I feel like a wino because I can't wait to not be pregnant and just have a glass of cabernet with it hitting the back of my ears. *drool*

    What is the one thing you're missing more than anything else?

    And no, I'm not suggesting we should partake in our much desired, much missed thing. Just figured we could all agonize over our suffering together.

    Running without having to pee constantly.

    Sleeping through the night - either i have to pee or little girl has moved somewhere weird and is making me  uncomfy or she decides it's time to be hyper and kick and punch and probably headbutt.  Seriously at 5 am this morning all I could think was how does she have that much energy already. 

    Being able to bend over without being punched by a baby - I love her kicks but I also like to be able to move freely.

    @TheFutureMcBride:

    I miss BEER! Not just the taste, but the experience of going downtown with my hubs & having a good tasty beer, or trying a new beer or coming home from work & unwinding on the deck with...Yes, a BEER!

    I also miss sleeping through the night, but beer is on my mind today cause it's FRIDAY!

    @troubled: I'm just starting to not be able to bend over. It's ridiculous. I miss picking up something I dropped easily. However, I'm not to the "baby wakes me up" stage quite yet.

     @ms sweets: Although I don't eat nuch deli meat, I miss it. I think it's because I can't have it.

    @shelbifox15: I forgot that I'm pregnant thr other day (don't know how because I'm constantly running to the bathroom) and wanted to go tasting beers at our beer and wine store. It was my Friday go to thing. Now, I look forward to chocolate milk and I'm not 5 years old.

    @37 weeks I just miss being comfortable. I did go through my phase where I really missed wine/beer/sushi but I don't really care at this point.  I just want to wear my regular clothes, not regurgiate when i bend over to put on a shoe, and have my energy back. All I can do is lay on my couch when I get home from work and I hate it. =(

    @TheFutureMcBride:

    oohhh....chocolate milk, that put a smile on my face :) Going to have to go get some!

    I also miss a little something called "sex appeal". Yep, March 2nd will mark my hubs & I's 5 month anniversary & I feel OLD, FAT, & UNDESIRABLE AS HELL! I mean I look at myself in the mirror & think... "that's NOT attractive"! ha! I mean the bigger boobs can only distract for so long...

    @flamingred: I'm waiting to hit that point and I'm scared since I've never felt that way before. Everything else is known.

     @shelbifox15: Just put on something you felt sexy in before you were pregnant or buy something new. And when do men get over looking at bigger boobs?

    The thing I miss the most are deli subs and sandwiches! It's killing me! And I also miss having a good dark beer once in a while.

    Oh here's another one.

    Being able to eat without needing a Tums afterwards.

    I don't have any wine/beer/coffee cravings because I'll have a couple sips once in awhile and I honestly have no desire for even a 1/4 glass - just a taste seems to make me happy (well with coffee now that I'm in my last trimester I've started taking a couple sips of my husbands coffee each morning instead of just once in awhile). 

    Now that there's no smoking in bars I've even gone out and about on the town a couple times to see a band or something - yup looking super classy with my pregnant belly in a bar but it's kinda nice getting my free gingerale as the DD (well we walk home but I want my free gingerale).

    Totally agree with @flamingred.  I used to fantasize about my after baby dinner & drink, but now I just long to be comfortable and have my energy & mobility back.  Be able to get off the couch without looking/sounding like an 80 yr. old, sleep on my back, and have the same pair of shoes that fit me in the morning fit me at the end of the day.

    I thought I would really miss beer but so far, the thought of beer makes me sick. I am glad because otherwise it would be a very long 8 months.

    I miss Jimmy Johns and Panera's bacon turkey bravo sandwich. I miss being able to crack open a can of diet coke without the husband rolling his eyes (my doctor cleared me for a can a day but husband has been trying to get me to cut back for years and is using this as his big chance). I miss sleeping through the night and having my cramps eventually go away (they haven't since my last period, almost).

    Ooooh good one!

    • Tuna sashimi.  Drool
    • Diet Coke
    • Pinot Noir...sigh...I cant wait to drink you again old friend!
    • Scotch...Johnny Black in particular (yep Im a scotch drinker)
    • Turkey Sandwiches.  Didnt eat that many of them (like ever) before, its just that since I cant have them I want them
    • Running.  I still take spin class and use the elliptical, but when I run, Peanut sits so low that it feels like he/she is gonna fall out.  Its so uncomfortable I cant run.  BTW- runners-is that normal??
    • Lastly, but mostly, my smaller boobs.  They arent that much bigger than they were.  If anything theyre fuller.  But I dont want them.  Hubby loves them, me not so much :)

    @KellyV:  From people I've talked to running while pregnant just seems to really be an individual thing.  For me how it feels changes week to week and sometimes even day to day.  My belly is not all that low though, it's fairly front and center and she's dancing on my bladder so while I've never gotten the she's going to fall out feeling I get the oh my gosh sweet little baby get off my bladder feeling.

    I still drink sodas, but not nearly the amount I used to. I do miss:

    • Cold turkey sandwiches. Badly. They just don't taste the same hot!

    • Wine. I had just gotten into the habit of a glass of blush with dinner every night, or in front of the fire while we watched tv. Also, margaritas. And other fruity frozen drinks. I tried virgin ones just for fun, but again, not as good.

    • Happiness. I feel like these hormones are stuck on "bad mood". I don't really get any of the joyful spectrum of things. That part sucks. And the crying for absolutely no reason, or stupid things, like the latest episode of Vampire Diaries.

    • Sex Drive. Again, hormones have killed everything sexy in me. I feel frumpy, ugly, and just don't want sex, period. My poor husband. He's been so sweet so far, but I'm thinking that things better flip a 180 soon or he'll be going nuts too!

    1. Being able to have a drink...I didn't even drink that much before but now that I can't I miss it.

    2. Being able to go see my husband's band play (they're usually in smokey bars).

    3. My abs

    4. NOT having to worry about my cleavage (since I didn't have much before).

    5. Being able to earn major cash for doing something like easy like smiling and talking to people (I was a promotional model on the weekends).

    I knew when I was 'planning' I'd probably have to miss a snowboarding season and I was ready for that - but I was surprised at how much I missed cycling, running, and golfing as well. I did run some - but I felt like I constantly had to pee and my hips really hurt. I did some spin classes - but it's not the same as riding through the mountains and breathing the fresh air.

    Most people get babysitters to go out to dinner/movie but as soon as the weather gets warmer I'm going to schedule a sitter for every Sat morning so my hubby and I can play golf or go on a long bike ride!!

    I've already laid out my race schedule for the next 3 months too. 2 running events, 2 tris, and 1 maybe 2 cycling events. Since I'm hoping to convince my hubby to try for #2 in the Fall I'm taking full advantage of this time not preggers!

    (I didn't really miss coffee, alcohol, lunchmeat etc because I don't really consume it anyways)
