1. Having more than a handful of outfits to choose from
2. Drinking caffeinated beverages more than once a day

2. The anticipation – especially in the later half of my pregnancy, it’s been so fun to feel the baby move and look forward to meeting him or her
1. A full house cleaning, because that will definitely go onto the back burner for a while
2. November birthday shopping
1. Minnie Mouse, which really surprised me – is Minnie making a comeback I’m not aware of?
2. Scooby-Do – ditto to my comment above
I LOVED being able to wear my normal-body wardrobe once I stopped being pregnant (and after the first three postpartum months of t-shirts and pajama pants). I did find my torso dimensions had changed a bit but most of my clothes were wearable.
The return back to normal clothes was the best! And the coffee…oh the coffee!!! Being able to touch your toes again was also a big plus.
