You Know You're Pregnant When...

I have been very lucky and really have enjoyed being pregnant (for the most part). But there are a few things I have noticed as I get further along in my pregnancy and I wanted to see if other women have felt this way.

You know you're pregnant when:

1. You keep the Tums on the nightstand by your bed instead of the medicine cabinet.

2. You dread the thought of having to tie your own shoes because it takes so much effort.

3. You try to find the parking spots where you can pull forward so you don't have to back out and try to turn enough to see behind you (I make Spencer drive sometimes just because it's hard to turn around or even check my blinds spots).

4. If you spill anything it ends up on your shirt because your belly is too big to be avoided.

5. After you do the dishes or wipe the counters your husband points out that your belly is wet and you didn't even notice because you can't see the wet part he is talking about.

6. You work up a sweat when clipping your toe nails.

I promise I'm not lazy it is just really amazing how hard the simplest tasks become once you're pregnant and your belly grows so much. Feel free to leave your comments and give a "You know you're pregnant when..." example.

I didn't have to deal with tying my shoes because I was pregnant in the summer in Texas and not working so I wore flip flops ALL of the time.

I was always wet or had food from leaning over the table hidden under my belly.

You might be pregnant if: clipping your toenails and shaving your legs is exhausting... some things are so hard to reach around that belly!

I bumped into stuff all of the time! I just kept getting bigger and bigger so I never adjusted to what my actual size was and just ran into the door when I tried to fit through sideways while carrying the laundry basket.

I agree with all of it, especially the wet belly when cleaning counters.

You know you're pregnant when...

...when sleeping without a pillow between your legs or hugging a pillow, or HAVING extra pillows makes it impossible to sleep. I had to have a pillow, felt much better.

OOOO!

Or you know you're pregnant when you have a hard time sleeping on your left hand side because you "know" you are supposed to, but its so much more comfy on your right side or the "no no", on your back. Ugh. =)
