You're eating chexmix for breakfast...

:

when TV commercials make you burst into tears....

when you feel the need to announce you're pregnant to strangers so they won't think you're just fat (as a way to make yourself feel better

)...

and, what sounded good for lunch 10 minutes ago is now making you want to vomit!

:

 

[belltree]

So true!

 

[shakenbake]

(I'm only two months, but ...)

All in the space of a week, you leave your shopping bag on the counter as you walk out the door of the store, you see a charge you don't recognize on your credit card bill and have already sent a dispute request when you realize the charge is yours, and you manage to buy a half dozen things that aren't on your shopping list, but the one thing that is, you deliberate over at the store and forget to make a decision that leads to actually purchasing it.

Sigh.

I can't decide if the baby is eating my brain or if it's simply pregnancy-induced ADD.

OMG I did almost the EXACT SAME THING last week!!!

I paid for my groceries and walked out of the store. I was halfway to my car when the bagger came running to me with my groceries (4 bags), yelling "maam, you forgot your groceries!"

You fall asleep putting your son to bed, and then, when you wake at 2:30am, due to needing to pee and just general pregnancy insomnia, you decide to stay awake and do some homework.

You want to kiss your chiropractor for "fixing" your SI joint.

Yeah, people must think I'm super-religious or something. Nope, just knocked up.

Did you really do that, cause if so you're my new hero!

 

[vegasgrl]

I walked out of the grocery store tonight with prenatal vitamins, an enema, and cake.

When you have a craving for something, eat it, and 5 seconds later you can't stand the thought of it.

That keeps happening to me. These are cracking me up!

 

[mommy2two babes]

Well I can say that when I am prego is the only time I drink the liquid out of my pickle jar.
Last night I actually watched my DH pour a glass of apple juice then looked at it and asked him if it was ginger ale

1. Your already a DD and the cup runneth over but you REFUSE to go any larger (even more limited selection and pricier - not to mention special order).

2. You buy the Bella Bands because you can't get your pre-prego pants fastened but the maternity ones roll down and are uncomfy now.

3. You have to pee every 2 hours and therefore you get semi-nautious every 2 hours until you manage to fall back asleep.

4. Everything on you itches at different times and your not sure why... you look like a dog scracthing for fleas!

5. You are in the middle of typing something at the computer and all the sudden you fall asleep - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

6. You want to smack your friends who talk about the uneventful pregnancies they have had and possibly hope to cause a chain reaction of vomit by visually letting them know that yours hasn't been a piece of cake!!!

7. Things you once loved taste terrible and things you once avoided taste like metal but you still crave them and therefore consume them (Ranch dressing - favorite for me... can't stand it now. Soda - never drank it... crave it now but Sprite and Sierra Mist taste metallic)

8. You like to fill out little surveys like this beause a) you can vent; 2) you can laugh; 3) you can be reassured that you aren't insane and that we are all supporting each other!

GOOD LUCK MAMAS!

I'm a C to a D heading towards a DD, but the funny part is my partner thinks it's hilarious b/c now I'm bigger than her!

2. You buy the Bella Bands because you can't get your pre-prego pants fastened but the maternity ones roll down and are uncomfy now.
Not yet, but have had to loosen my gun belt at work (and Kate thinks I will either look very cute or absolutely goofy with a big belly and my gun!)

3. You have to pee every 2 hours and therefore you get semi-nautious every 2 hours until you manage to fall back asleep.
Just a BIG "I understand" here!

4. Everything on you itches at different times and your not sure why... you look like a dog scracthing for fleas!
Again I understand...though I have no idea why all the itchiness!

5. You are in the middle of typing something at the computer and all the sudden you fall asleep - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
I have to stand up most of the day for work and last week one day when I sat down to give my legs hips a break I about fell asleep at my computer, needless to say I was back to standing rather quickly!

6. You want to smack your friends who talk about the uneventful pregnancies they have had and possibly hope to cause a chain reaction of vomit by visually letting them know that yours hasn't been a piece of cake!!!
I'm one of the first of my friends to be pregnanct so this doesn't really apply to me!

7. Things you once loved taste terrible and things you once avoided taste like metal but you still crave them and therefore consume them (Ranch dressing - favorite for me... can't stand it now. Soda - never drank it... crave it now but Sprite and Sierra Mist taste metallic)
I absolutely love Resse's Peanut Butter Eggs that you get at Easter time and now I can hardly even take one bite without feeling naseous...so depressing!

7.5 You are SOOOO tired that you beg your S/O to come to bed with you and then realize it's only 7:30pm and it's still 3hrs till your normal bedtime! he he

8. You like to fill out little surveys like this beause a) you can vent; 2) you can laugh; 3) you can be reassured that you aren't insane and that we are all supporting each other!
AGREED!

Then I believe it is your "job" to complain to them as much as possible so as to gain as much sympathy as possible. I'm the first among my friends as well, and I find that people who have no idea what pregnancy feels like are so much more sympathetic than those who had perfect pregnancies!

Those do look good.
I can't wait until our local fair comes through in June. They have these huge juicy pickles on a stick every year Mmmmmmmmmm

 

[mommy2two babes]

I just looked and I don't think the pickle pops are available in Canada

I agree w/ so much. This being pregnant is expensive. I decide what I want to eat, but then I only want it that day and then it is disgusting. Oh- and I jsut went to the library we missed last week to the stomach flu- $18 in fines- ouch- just for 1 week. I forgot movies are only 1 week rental. Of course last week we all had the stomach flu then we had to go out of town for surgery- so it has been crazy. Oh, and the late fees for forgetting to make a payment- which I never- ever- ever do and we had the money- I just forgot. I told dh that he is absolutely to make sure there are no payments other than what we have as they are all automatic. My brain is only about half there and I am soooo very, very tired.

I know what you mean, last week I actually paid a bill twice because I couldn't remember paying it. I panic every few weeks that I have forgotten to pay something. Forgot to send my DD's library book to school with her today so she could get a new one

My poor DH has been putting up with my complete lack of a brain lately.
Sometimes he has to say thing to me multiple times before it actually registers. TG DH has picked up the slack around here or we would be falling apart.
