You know your belly is big when...

- You have knocked stuff off of counters at stores even though you swore you had enough clearance.

- You spread out your dinner napkin on your belly instead of your lap because your lap has no chance of catching any food anymore.

- You have to hug people sideways if you want your shoulders to be near theirs.

- You have to ask for help putting on your socks and shoes.


Thanks to the April DDC for this fun thread idea!

- You're constantly bumping your belly into the door because you forget that you have to open it wider to get through.

- You need someone else to shave you... below your former waistline.

- Your older child has trouble finding enough room to sit on your disappearing lap.

-You call the clerk over because the self checkout lane won't stop telling you to remove the item from the scanning area when you have nothing on it to discover its your belly that its talking about.

-The just a few months ago huge maternity shirt doesn't cover the whole belly anymore.

-When you have to move your drivers side car seat back because the belly is keeping the wheel from moving.

1. You burn your tummy on the stove while cooking dinner....
2. You cant drive a stick shift car because your seats too back to push in the clutch.
3. You hear a ripping sound as your putting on your maternity pants, while at the ob's office!
All happened to me today, I'm scared to think what tomorrow has in store for me!

You know your bellys big when DC has a hard time siting on your hip while being carried cause the belly is in the way.

You know your bellys big when your cat uses your belly as a shelf to sleep on.

It's good to know I'm not the only one.
Monday I took something out of the oven and then pressed
my tummy aganst it. (I didn't realize my shirt was up)
Then it took me a few minutes to come up with something to do about it.
You know you can't just stick it under the kitchen faucet, like your finger.

And of course this was after falling flat on my back in an icy church parking lot on Sunday.
It's been a painful week already.:

When you take a shower with DC and get body wash in their hair cause you turned around.

That just happened to me a little bit ago.

-You have to tactically maneuver the cart at the checkout so you can slip by to either load stuff onto the belt or get something in the back or whatever else it is I'm trying to do these days that didn't seem to be such a big freaking deal before I got this big.

-Decide it's time to buy a fluffy toilet lid cover since you can't put your socks/shoes/pants/panties on while standing anymore, the bed's so high that sitting on it doesn't help, and goddess help ya, that toilet lid is COLD on the bare bum!!

-yep, yep, napkin on the belly

...and I'm to the point of giving up on maintiaining the growth below. If I can't see it and can't get to it and dh doesn't want to help me out or spring for a wax, then I'm not worried about it. Unless it gets so out of control that I have to buy bigger pants...: (kidding!)

Y'all nuts. I love you.

I'm not huge- in fact I'm quite small. But I DID have a close encounter with a spice shelf at the grocery store yesterday. Can still shave my legs but can't shave... other places... anymore, and DEFINITELY dp is my sock-putter-onner.

I can still shave my legs but things down below I think is getting scary by now. I think that I may treat myself to a wax. I didn't think about that and it beats shaving it.

I do that at least 10 times before I fall asleep at night. I always get up to pee that many times before I fall asleep and then 3 times after I go to bed.

Wow I am glad that I am not the only one begging DH and the DCs to put on my socks.

- You know your belly is big when you cannot reach the dishes in the sink to wash them

- your laptop doesn't fit on your lap very well anymore
