I can't get "eager" out of うきうき but I take the point about "restless". I'll push it to the back and add some more from JEs.

  Comments: 
In the line from both 大辞泉 and 大辞林 about "restless", they both say うきうきして, which jmdict defines as "cheerful, buoyant, cheery, lighthearted". "Eager" may not be the best way to put it, but just "restless" could easily be taken as far more negative than this seems to be. "Restless with excitement", maybe?

that's exactly how i feel.  although i would add 'i'm not sure it's not there'.  in the absence of j-e evidence, best to remove it?
