I'm so pregnant...

I got asked if I was okay the other night at the store during an intense Braxton Hicks contraction (I think the lady thought I was about to have a baby. )

I can't sit normally anymore without feeling like the baby is completely squished against my legs.

I rest dd2 on my belly when holding her (while baby kicks angrily about it).

I use my belly as a drink ledge.

DD1 is constantly pulling my shirts down and telling me that my baby belly is showing and we just can't have that, which of course, I have no idea since I can't see below my belly button. LOL!

.... I can balance a glass bottle of cream soda on my belly ledge!

I was considering taking the water arobics class at the gym until I started to "tidy up" which involved twisting so my belly pointed left, the right boob to the side and craning over to see what needed to be done on the right side. I'll stick with free weights

....it's easier for me to get through a tight space walking straight ahead vs turning to the side like I used to before I was pg.

....walking "normal" is a thing of the past, waddling is unavoidable

....putting on undies has become a one-handed affair...I simply can't bend enough and hold them with two hands, plus I need one hand on the counter for balance.

....lying down is uncomfortable at times

I'm so pregnant that...

I was in line at the grocery store, DS was at home. I was leaning on the cart, noted that the cashier in the next lane over had turned her light off and was finishing one last customer. I was about 3rd in line, but a minute later, the cashier in the next lane comes over and tells me all quiet "I can help you over here." I was really glad, she helped me unload the groceries even. When she was almost finished with me, an old lady with an arm-brace cane, pushing a cart with one hand asks "Are you taking anyone else?" The cashier told her "No, sorry, I'm closed."

OMG< I look more in need of help than HER?!?

My belly has become a catch-all for any dropped food from my fork or DD's (explain that one!), and the fronts of all my shirts have more stains than my toddler's do.

I've stopped taking DD outside when I'm by myself because I can't keep up with her anymore when she runs out into traffic.

If I don't watch it, my feet are suddenly replaced by inflated surgical gloves with red toenails. And yeah, I can still paint them, but only because I'm very bendy.

I had to ask someone else's husband to reach some yogurt for me at the grocery store because my belly seems to reach further than my arms can.

I can only eat a small amount of food at a time because there is not enough room for my meal and my baby!

my bed has asked for a bed.

I'm so pregnant that I am like a "turtle on its back" if I lay on my back for a minute.

I am so pregnant people make comments about my waddling.

I am so pregnant I have to pee every 5 minutes. : I pee more than my 23 month old who is potty learning.

You guys are cracking me up!

Yes, to the belly ledge, to the not being able to trim the pubic hair (& I go swimming at the YMCA & don't care!), and yes to rolling over at night being an olympic feat - oh, and I moan/groan when I have to bend over to get anything as well.

I'm so pregnant that DH asked if I needed a crane to get up off the floor (you have to understand dh is very sarcastic - he's not a big jerk - but after he said it, I told him my only satisfaction would be to tell everyone his "funny" coment).

I'm so pregnant that I needed a step stool to put the sheets on my sons crib b/c my belly was SO in the way.

I'm so pregnant I can hardly get out of the garden tub without almost falling over...

My maternity pants aren't even fitting me right anymore...

I get hopeful when I have a strong BH contraction...

The baby thinks we're playing a game when DD nurses and leans into my belly and leans back...

Walking is no problem... It's the standing up and sitting down that make me look (and feel) like I'm 80 years old...

Women in my prepared childbirth class envy me for my slender ankles and my crocs...

And finally, I'm letting people carry and lift things I used to refuse help for even though I can still do it myself on the realization that just because I can doesn't mean I should.

... if the shopping cart is too deep, I need help getting the items at the front out or have to stand on the bottom "shelf" to reach.
