You know you're anxiously 9+ months pregnant when... - Page 2  

post #21 of 35
when... you have to start borrowing your partner's pants, and have a very pathetic moment when you can't see to figure out how they buckle/snap/lace up.

Happened to me today.

Ohhhh, I can't do that!! Dh weighs less than me now...yesterday he put on my maternity pants for a joke...the ones that I've outgrown already!! Let's just say I was NOT laughing.

Thread Starter 
* When DH doesn't notice that his current pet name for you has switched from "sweet love" to "big love", and when you call him on it, he stutters something about the HBO show and brings home flowers.

* When 3 hours of sleep seems like an eternity.

* When the baby no longer "kicks" or "moves" but is actually "roiling like the sea in a storm" and causes people speaking to you to kinda glaze over in frightened amazement with their mouths hanging open and forget what they were saying.

* When you're actually looking forward to an exam to find out what the heck is going on up there, since there is NO WAY you could see it yourself, even with 3 mirrors and a videocamera.

* When you get really excited about the thought of a stomachache or nausea. Last night, DH said his stomach hurt, and I looked a bit forlorn and said, "Lucky". Which he didn't really appreciate.

* When you bring someone you trust to help you return duplicates and crap off your baby registry because you know the customer service desk will give you trouble, and it's pretty much a roulette wheel of whether you'll scream at them, cry, throw the Diaper Champ across the room, laugh or throw up, depending on what your raging hormones are doing that day.

* When you find your first chin hair, but fairly concede that it's better than 1st trimester acne, leaking breasts, stretch marks or skin tags in weird places.

...when your feet have taken on a striking resemblance to hams with toes... my ankles are only slightly swollen, but my hammy feet are a nightly topic of discussion between me and my DH.

...when you have horrific pubic pain, and you think... well, at least she's dropped!

.. when you're bargaining (with some unknown entity) for her to come just a day or two sooner.

And a complete : on excessive attention to discharge on the TP.

Oooh, good thread!

* When you consciously spend over an hour at the grocery store doing your shopping, just to get in that much more walking to spur things along

* When you answer every co-worker who stops into your office just to say "oh, you're still here?" or "I thought you'd be GONE by NOW" with a snippy "clearly." and "me too."

* When people start coming out of the woodwork to just call and see if you've had the baby yet (including DH's single guy friends who call at 10 PM... imagine if I did have a sleeping infant at home?! They'd be DEAD for calling at such a time!!!). :

* There is nothing left to do in preparation for the baby.

* Hospital bags you packed weeks ago now contain clothes that you have outgrown. :

* DH jumps up at every moan or grunt of discomfort ready to call the midwife
* You get excited every time you have a cramp or strongish BH ctx
* People look at your belly before they look at your face
* People act afraid around you - like the baby is going to fall out on their feet or something

I just love this thread! You guys make me feel so good knowing I'm not the only one.

All I can say, is that at 9 months, ice cream has become a major food group.

When you "ease" yourself into the bathtub you splash water on the ceiling

pandora665: hams with toes?? I LOVE it!

* You roll your eyes and silently mock any normally functioning person who complains of being hot, tired, sleepy, achey or otherwise physically uncomfortable.

Okay, one more:

In the car, I started having what felt like menstrual cramps. I said - OUT LOUD - to MYSELF -

"Cramps, oh, that feels good"


What am I thinking!!!

* You roll your eyes and silently mock any normally functioning person who complains of being hot, tired, sleepy, achey or otherwise physically uncomfortable. - YEAH, especially DH!

Yesterday, he said "I've got these foot cramps that are just the worst!" I am glad that men were not put in charge of this process

my best friend always kept catching herself when she was complaining this last weekend!! shes like "oh well i guess its nothing compared to you but...." i was the one who wasn't complaining at all in 106+ degree weather!!!

*when you seriously contemplate going to a spa (and spending $25+) just to get your toenails clipped and your feet washed really well (well the foot massage is a huge bonus too)

*people compliment you on you dc picking up something they spill........cause it would never get done if you did it!!
