You Know You're 9+ Months Pregnant When...

- You walk past the bathroom and decide to go even if you don't feel like it because you know you'll have to go in the next 15 minutes anyway.

- You use the restroom more than your 2-yr-old.

- You ask your 2-yr-old to pick up things off the floor when you drop them because it's too difficult to bend over.

- You overhear your 2-yr-old commenting "I can't reach it! I can't bend over!"  Yikes!

- You cry... for no good reason.  Then you cry about crying because you feel bad.

- Your husband smiles and lovingly puts up with all the emotional-ness.

- You grunt and groan when sitting down, getting up, rolling over in bed, changing positions, and reaching for things.

- You get out of breath just putting socks on.

- You wear the same flip flops everyday because it means you don't have to reach your feet.

- People look at you warily, hoping you're not going to go into labor "any second."

- Taking a trip to the grocery store wears you out so much you can't even imagine cooking afterwards and need to take a nap to recover.

- Grocery shopping takes twice as long because you're waddling.

- You feel like a contortionist trying to shave your legs.

- You can put a plate on your belly and use it as a table.

- You have to begin phone conversations with "Hi, I'm not in labor."

- It's more comfortable to wear your husbands clothes...and not just for pajamas either.

- People at church chuckle sympathetically when they see you... yet another week.

- You know that, despite the discomfort, it's all worth it in the end and you'll miss being pregnant...eventually. :)

I know all the mamas out there can sympathize with these!

:) Hope Baby #2 makes an appearance soon.
I especially liked the comment about using the bathroom more than your 2-year old...getting there!
