You Know You're Pregnant When...

Okay, some of these might be "too much information" for many looking on...

I thought it was a cute list! I didn't come up with it, but I can certainly agree with most of these comments!

YOU KNOW YOU'RE PREGNANT WHEN...

• You no longer sleep through the night
• You crave things you never thought you would eat
• You never thought 9 months lasted so long.
• When you think of socks (or just about anything else) as a challenge!
• You need a nap after shaving your legs
• Peeing in a cup at the doctor's office is no longer a "simple task"
• You get more excited at the idea of a nap than going out with family or friends.
• The idea of a clean, tidy, and in-order home is something you constantly dream of and even pray for...achieving this task is tantamount to winning the lottery in happiness.
• You catch your reflection in the mirror while attempting to put on socks or (gulp) panty hose and end up laughing so hard you pee yourself.
• You sneeze and pee (the very thing you made fun of your mother, sister, or aunt for!)
• You suddenly notice all those spider webs in the ceiling corners that you swear must have just appeared since you got pregnant.
• You've gone from talking about how silly it would be to park in the "expectant mother's" parking space at the grocery store (I mean, pregnant women aren't crippled!) to grumbling when you go to a store that doesn't have the "obviously needed" luxury.
• The Baby Story on TLC has gone from a sweet show about the miracle of birth to a documentary of what "not to do" in the delivery room (yell, make faces, complain, etc). As well as proof that natural child birth is something only insane people try these days!
• You haven't seen your feet for 3 to 4 months.
• Tying your shoes is a chore!
• You leave little piles of dirt on the floor after sweeping.
• You walk in circles because you can't remember what you’re trying to do in the first place!
• You roll out of bed like a Weeble....
• You hold your breath to put on your socks, then apologize to your wee occupant for squishing her.
• You can't sleep for more than maybe 3 hours in a row.
• You wonder if menopause feels sorta the same..hot flashes, mood swings, etc.
• Tums becomes your favorite dessert after lunch and dinner.
• You can rest your cup of Baskin Robbins ice cream on your new belly shelf.
• You get a pedicure not because you want to, but because if you didn't you could kill someone with your toe nails.
• Walking up the stairs starts to feel similar to running a marathon.
• You have enough gas to supplement the cost of fuel.
• Your dog looks at you when you get out of the shower with a look of wonder on their face (what happened to mom!?!?!)
• You have to explain to your husband that installing a car seat/crib/high chair sounds like a full days project because you will need to rest for an hour between each step
• You can pitch a fit in your closet that "Nothing fits!" and it is actually true!
• By the time you flush, get your clothes situated, and wash your hands, you have to pee again!
• You hear your belly rumble right underneath your boobs.
• Ice cream with oreos seems like a perfectly reasonable lunch (and snack and dinner).
• You come home with dirt all over the front of your shirt b/c so many people (including strangers) like to touch your belly.
• All of your dishes are now put away on the highest shelf (for floor cabinets) and lowest (for wall) because you can't bend over for one and your belly bounces off the counter for the other.
• Your dog knows better than to even attempt to wiggle onto your lap, no matter how pint-sized the pooch.
• When the baby gets real active it actually makes your boobs move too!
• You cry...for no reason other than just to cry at the drop of a hat.
• The most common expression on your husband's face is one of sheer bewilderment.
• You look like a Dr. Seuss character in your pajamas but have the svelte moves of Jabba the Hut.

See ya!
