You're definitely more than 8 months pregnant if...

post #1 of 73
Thread Starter 
...you drop a spoon on the floor and decide to just leave it there.

...you are over-warm, but it's too much trouble to take your socks off.

Any additions??
post #2 of 73
No additions right now (I'm too tired to think), but I SO relate to that first one. I've told DH I try to keep the house picked up and tidy, from the waist up. Anything lower than that is ALL his.

..............You cross your legs when you need to sneeze or cough becasue you jsut know you will wet your pants.

..............You can't decide weather to bend over to pick up what you just dropped at the store or just kick it under the rack!

..............You love to take baths but decide that a shower sounds more manageable to get out of.

...............Your thinking of carrying around your one year old on your tummy so maybe it he will just push the baby out.

You don't buy anything off the lower shelf at a store because if you squat down to grab it, you won't be able to get back up without assistance from a kind stranger.

- The kindest person on the face of the planet is the one who will bend down and pick up the pen you just dropped.

- You feel like you need a drum roll every time you roll over in bed.

- You've become intimately familiar with your bathroom - to the point you can close your eyes and see every spot or blemish in the paint/floors/etc.

- You envy 90 year old men with walkers, because they can walk faster than you.

- Your answer to everyone's "you're gonna pop any day now!" is so automatic, you're worried you'll still say it post-birth, when anyone tries to talk to you.

- You begin to despise anyone who says "Oh my, this week's gone by fast!"

- The frequency of your meals rival that of a Hobbit's.

I am just getting over bronchitis and have been sleeping with a towel between my legs for just that reason...I feel better knowing I am not alone!!

Oh my yes! I can definitely relate to these as well. Hehe... and playing on that last one... the size of your feet rival that of a Hobbit's. At least MINE do.

You have given up on tying your shoes.

You have to beg your 4 yr old to "help mommy put her socks on"

You are wide awake most of the night and can't stop napping during the day.

...you get down on the floor to fold the laundry and then ask your two year to go deliver it all to the right spots.

...you ask your two year old to fetch the remote when its just a cushion away, but it might just cause a pee leak if you tried to reach for it.

...your idea of cleaning up toys is kicking them all to a corner of the room.

...you have to sit down or keep moving around while having a discussion with your dh because your feet fall asleep, turn purple, and itch if you stand in one place for more than a minute.

Please keep adding. I almost peed myself reading these. SO TRUE. AND HILARIOUS. omg, the drumroll in bed - I near died!

When a stranger looks at you and laughs because your four year old just announced to her that "I ran ahead of my mommy 'cus she is pregnant, and too slow"

Your two year old knows that if he doesn't want his diaper changed all he has to do is climb under the dining room table, because you are never going to reach him there.


The wall under your dining room table has a gorgeous new mural made by your two year old.

~ When you drop something (with no one around to help you) and you stare at it for 5 minutes debating whether or not it's worth it to bend down and pick it up... or you start crying because you know you have to.

~ When you actually do have to bend down for any reason (and it better be important!), you look ridiculous because your knees point out like a frog.

~ You sit the same way! Who cares if it's not modest??!

~ When you're naked and your 3 year old (who sees you naked all the time) looks you up and down and says, "Mommy, is that your body?" To which I reply, "Not really honey, my real body is invisible right now."

~ When you have to sit leaning back in order to be able to breathe.

~ When it takes 5 minutes just to get out of bed in the morning.

~ When standing and walking around is MUCH more comfortable than sitting!

~ When all you do is surf the MDC forum because you're just trying to pass the time!

You feel no guilt having your older kid make breakfast for him & his brother every morning so you can get a bit of sleep without sharing a bed.

You want to hibernate until the baby comes

You feel guilty about not keeping up with the housework, but not guilty enough to argue when someone volunteers to do your dishes or make supper.

You find yourself having conversations with your belly whenever no one else is around.

Yup! I've got one pair of slip-ons that fit and they're 2 sizes bigger than my pre-preg size.

After going to bed at night you get up to pee 2 or 3 times before falling asleep just to make sure you got every last drop out! And then you're still up every hour or two to go again, and again, and again....

And it's mostly begging the baby to come out, or at least stop stretching so much.

- your side of the bed is about a foot higher than your husbands because of the egg crate and extra pillows yet you STILL wake up every 2 hours needing to turn because your hip hurts.

- putting on pants is a challenge.

- you issue a blanket "excuse me" for the entire day because saying it every time you toot would just be too much to think about.

- you can no longer see your belly button except in the mirror.

This is so funny. Before I was pregnant I did this every night because then I could sleep all night without having to get up to pee. I'm not sure why I bother doing it these days.
