At the end of your pregnancy? I can't wait to be able to roll over again. I remember the first time I rolled over after we got home from having DS1 and it was glorious.
Being able to bend over comfortably to put my socks on or tie my shoes.
I originally typed sleeping through the night without having to pee every hour. Then I realized I'll be waking up to take care of a baby and sleeping for 8 hours might still be in the distant future. Womp womp. (haha!)
Sleeping on my stomach.
Enjoying an ice cold beer or two, or a glass of wine or two.
Not going back to work for a while. I'd rather stay up all night with a screaming newborn. I'd also rather have an unmedicated root canal.
Sleeping on my stomach and my back. I have to consciously wake myself up and reposition during the night to get back on my side.
Not peeing a million times a day.
DRINKING
Shopping for normal clothes. I want some cute spring clothes, not yet another tunic or side-ruched tee.
Kayaking. Though, that'll still be a rare pleasure since we'd need to get a babysitter.
ETA: Traveling. I've been on restrictions since 20w.
Not injecting Lovenox twice a day.
I know it sounds like I'm hating pregnancy, but I haven't really minded it all that much. I'm not overly uncomfortable, I can still get around somewhat easily, I sleep OK at night. All of this subject to change of course.
I've loved being pregnant, but now that I'm towards the end...sleeping on my stomach, being able to move around (like getting off the couch) easily and being able to put on shoes easily.
I can't wait to sleep however I want. I can't wait to eat and drink whatever I want. I can't wait to get back into a great workout routine with intensity. I'm hoping my hormones level out and I can get back to better skin. I also can't wait to want to have sex again. My drive has been seriously lacking this pregnancy.

Having ankles again Being able to drive without needing to press on the top of my stomach to squish my innards back down in an effort to be comfortable.
@charky and Saudade, Breathe Right strips (and the CVS-brand knockoffs) changed my life. The strips + extra pillows + springing for a humidifier made at least the nighttime rhinitis woes so, so much better.

Hopefully I don't have to wait until the end of my pregnancy: not being nauseated all the time. I understand why all the married ladies got breakfast in bed in Downton Abbey now...
Not looking forward to all the stuff you guys are relating.
Being able to train for another half marathon. Exercise. Better sleep. Alcohol. Being able to pick up/ carry my toddler. Losing weight / getting back into shape. Normal clothes. Starting a "mommy makeover" , laser to remove leg hair, getting a light laser facial on my face, possibly work done to remove vericose veins and stretch marks. Having 2 healthly children so that I can be done with being pregnant forever. ETA: Comfortable doing my toenails again. Sleeping on my stomach after I recover from c-section #2.
Mine are relatively minor since I still have a long way to go. - Having some sort of energy back. - clear skin again - eating allll the Italian hoagies
Wine and roller-coasters. I haven't ridden roller-coasters in years, but it seems that ever since I found out I was pregnant I've wanted to ride them more than ever, lol.
Also, my salicylic acid face lotion. I miss that stuff so much. It did wonders for my skin.
