..when I want to smack you for creating this thread & reminding me how far along I am while also feeling like these next two weeks are going to be the longest of my life.
..when the things I used to think were funny about the third trimester aren't funny anymore & I just want to smack everyone.
When your countdown is less than 10 days!!! And you freak out from time to time.
9 days till my RCS!!!!!! What?!? I'm having a baby?!?!?! I JUST had a baby last year!!!! What was I thinking!!??!! But then I come back to my senses and I calm down and feel sooo blessed!
@k1911 OMG I know, I try to get up semi-regularly, not because its good for me or whatever, but because it gives.him less chance to settle in so soundly. Also, I've got 3 pairs of pants, but I've been wearing them for 6 months (thank god for yoga pants!), so yeah, I feel ya there, too!
@hidingangel82 I try to get up regularly too, but it's the WORST at night going to the bathroom. I had to get up 5 times last night, and I didn't even drink anything in between these times...what the hell?? My maternity tights have been a blessing this pregnancy.
@LivinCA My husband has resorted to earplugs too! The nose strips helped me but caused zits so I said I couldn't wear them any longer. I even packed earplugs in his hospital bag in case it takes a while for my snoring to subside.
when you are so over mucus plugs and talk about mucus plugs that when your doctor tries to educate you about it you tell them you're an expert and they give you a funny look.
When not even your maternity clothes fit anymore, but you refuse to buy anything new that might fit because you could literally go into labor any minute and it isn't worth it.
@AnnieRoo13 - Haha! I have been doing that for weeks! I'm like, "Okay, everything is saved on our shared network drive...here is where I am with this project. I don't expect you to take actions on these items, but JUST IN CASE I go into labor..."

@Caraluvs- Kuddos for still trying, I gave that up weeks ago. Poor DH.
Back to the topic: when you take a swig of water in the break room and co-workers ask you if you are ok because you are so out of breath. I'm just trying to breath over here, geez.
@bethas--my students have the same thing going on. I teach pre-nursing students, and all of the ones with EMT training (4 of them total) have made sure I know they can help me in case I go into labor during class.
When you go into Target, get everything you want, then get to the register and realize you've forgotten your wallet at home.
When you got to the grocery store specifically for carrots for your daughter's Halloween party tomorrow and walk out without the carrots.
When you get the groceries you did remember home and forget them on the counter for half an hour.
When your cat lays on your bump and purrs and the baby moves around in response.
When strange men start giving you a wide berth like they think you might drop this baby any second!
When anything you do feels like some major accomplishment - Got the mail : Woohoo! Put the laundry away : Go me! Did the dishes : I'm a freakin' rock star!!
When you finally get your pants on in the morning and then realize there's a stain on them, but you don't care, you wear them anyway, because it's too much work to take them back off!
...when your husband walks into the kitchen to see you making padcicles, with the kitchen table strewn with monster sized maxi pads, and doesn't even *want* to hear the explanation.
When you're sitting on the couch and all you want to do is sleep in bed, so you go to lay in bed and all you want to do is be comfortable on the couch.
When you are comfortably relaxing in shorts and a tshirt and hubs is shivering next to you in jeans, wool socks and a sweatshirt. Apparently he's considering a coat too.
Re: You know you're 9 months pregnant when....
You get excited about a mucous plug or diarrhea...thinking labor is coming...then it doesn't.
You wake up in the middle of the night to fix your hair and put on make-up because you think you might be going into labor...then you don't.
Very true!
You've eaten more pineapple in the past week than you have all year.
9 days till my RCS!!!!!!

When you tell your co-workers about everything you're working on or that's pending because hell if you know if you will go into labour overnight.
N14 Nov. Siggy: CELEBRATION!
Everytime you call your SO he freaks out thinking you are in labor.
Nothing is really fun anymore because you are in too much pain.

You have gas and think its labor
You feel nauseous and think its labor
You get mild cramping and think its labor
