You know you're almost done being pg when...

[cachet]

*walking down the street elicits gawks as people watch you waddle by.

*an outing wouldn't be complete if at least one person didn't say "you look like you're about to pop!"

*if picking something up off the floor can't be done with the toes, you leave it there (even if it's money). Or, you just kick it out of the way.

*all the cute tops you bought for the summer you now have to strettcchh over your huge tummy.

*every gush of wetness sends you running to the bathroom to see if it's pink!

any others??

[jee'smom]

love the one about picking stuff up with your toes! it's soooo true!
here's one:
you have a spot on your back that's killing you, so you have to stretch your arm forward to semi-alleviate the pain... but the baby's under your ribs, and the pain is killing you so you have to stretch your arm backwards (which kills your back again)... to compromise you stretch your arm over your head and remain that way no matter what you're doing or where you are! (got some pretty funny looks from this one!)

Your toddler starts groaning every time he rolls over in bed, just like Mommy. :LOL

[NordicMamma]

:LOL

You have to wake up and get out of bed completely in order to turn over - while moaning, of course.

Oh, and I totally get the kicking thing. I am at the stage where I just kick ds's toys into one corner and leave them there.

In order to put your underwear on you have to sit on the end of the bed and sort of lasso them onto your feet one leg at a time. Then while sitting there put your shorts on too the same way before standing up to pull them on completely.

You wear flip flops even on a rainy day because your partner wasn't around to put socks and shoes on for you.

Your toddler now walks around the house with her hand on her lower back.

* You pee every time you leave the house to try and forestall the need for a public restroom (even if you only peed 10 minutes before)

* You pee right before you go to bed (even if you only peed 10 minutes before)

* You wear flip-flops because your feet are so *#^% swollen, you can't fit into anything else

* You only have 1 or 2 pieces of clothing that still fit

[mmgarda]

Soooooo funny!!!

Oh my god these are hilarious!

My addition:

*You can no longer reach to clean your nether regions quite so well. :

*You go to work and everyone says, "You're still HERE???"

*You're sleeping on the couch/recliner because there just isn't anywhere else to even consider.

*The thought of grocery shopping with your toddler breaks your heart because you know there's no way in HE77 you can get him/her into the shopping cart.

[IAmAMamaToLogan]

HEHEHEHE...these are hilarious.

Hmmmmm, how about when you walk into a store and you immediately scope the place out for the restroom. Or you don't want to shop during busy times just in case your water breaks in the middle of the store. And what about when your phone is ringing twice as much just with people asking if anything is going on with baby.

And that is exactly why I no longer answer my phone any more. Thank God for answering machines.

LOL!!!

~when you sit on the couch to eat food, you can balance your plate on your belly and it's so much easier than having your plate on your lap.

TOTALLY. That goes for just about everything at this point! And if I'm SITTING, I will not cross the room for anything, if someone else (DH, DD) is there to fetch it.

[jeanieloz]

When you find you are using your feet to do more than you ever have!
Cleaning up spills on the floor, just wetting a washcloth and stepping on it and scooting around, forget mopping, spot cleaning is ok.
Tolerating the sticky, crunchy floor.
Picking up laundry by doing the flip toss with your toes-feet, and grab it in mid air with your hands.
Not caring about the washed laundry at the bottom of the machine that you can't reach, or the dried laundry in the back of the dryer, if it doesn't fall out of the dryer it can stay in there!
Wondering why so many appliances require bending over, and cursing the men who've designed them and kept the current styles around.

:LOL

How could I forget the flip flops (thank goodness it's summer ) and the peeing all the time?

And my dd asking me why I have all these little veins on my legs??

[Pom]

Can't wash the dishes b/c stomach hits edge of sink counter (and you can't "lift and rest" it on the counter edge anymore).

Oh, yeah. That one too. Although I still try.

Plus my belly is always wet and dirty. Everything that would usually land on the floor now ends up on my belly.

[ccohenou]

How about when you try to run and find that you really, really canNOT do it. At all.

People will hardly allow you to walk or stand without anxiously offering a seat. (Can't say I mind)

You know that even though you peed RIGHT before leaving the house, you are still going to have to go the minute you get there as well.

Even maternity clothes can't handle the belly anymore. You wear your husband's baggiest clothing and no longer even care how it looks.


And I for one no longer even attempt to use the kneeler at church.

LOL Yep..this is me! I have to stain treat all of my clothes prior to washing! haha

[Pelgie]

I think my favorite is the challenge of putting on underwear- so true.

I'll add:

*You fantasize about giving away or even burning your maternity clothes (on a daily basis).

*You squat down to get a toy for your toddler and feel like the compression of the fluid in your legs is going to make your skin pop.

*You haven't soaped any body parts below your knees in the shower for a couple of weeks because it just isn't worth the trouble... and the plain water that is hitting them is probably getting them "clean enough".
