Let's lighten up the mood still-pregnant ladies

You know you are DONE being pregnant when...

...you beg your DH to go for a walk and then whine the whole way

...you boycott laundry because it involves too much carrying and bending over

...you preface every outing as "could be the last time w/o LO here!!!"

This for sure! I also keep telling everyone, "The next time I see you I will be in labor!" Especially say this to my brother who is in the Navy but comes home one weekend a month at least, and to H who works out of town 5 days a week.

When you will do even things you HATE to do something that you can't do while pregnant.

Example, I HATE and am deathly afraid of waterparks and sildes and I would totally go one if I could not be pregnant.

Sheesh...

....you keep telling yourself, while shoveling **insert food type here** in your mouth, you won't be able to do this soon. (with an excuse)

This is one of the last night we are going to have that will be basically quiet! (LO#1 sleeps through the night most nights with a little cry once in a while)

You try every wives tale in the book and tell yourself you don't believ in them...but secretly hope they work for you.

Geez, these are all true!

You know you're done being pregnant when...

- even "nice" comments are so old and repeated they annoy you. ie "wow, you're so small!" is actually code (to me) for "gee you can't really be that miserable" and I want to smack the person who says this to me for the 10 millionth time.

- you're actually annoyed with being small because you don't feel you get the appropriate sympathy from others. ie, I dropped my water bottle at the zoo the other day and some dirt bag walked over it and kept going and I had to ask DD to get out of the stroller to go retrieve it for me.

- i excuse every sort of behavior from myself and don't care. today I went to see a movie. It was looking like I was going to go by myself at the last minute and my DH said "wow, that might be the saddest most pathetic thing ever" but I actually thought the opposite. I said "I can get by doing anything I want right now. I'm 9months pregnant. who cares???"

Eating ice cream multiple times a day- check. and cookies- check.

- i get annoyed at the inside LO for getting active every night around 10:30 somehow making it even more challenging for me to sleep. I did not htink that was possible.

- Im actually considering buying more maternity clothes because I have nothing to wear and i REALLY do not want to do laundry.

I think someone said this a few months ago... but anything below my waist is now dead to me.

Also I am so guilty of whining while taking a walk. We live next to a river/park area and we end up waddling from public restroom to public restroom.

-you feel like your abdomen is composed of a pile of bricks. -you don't want any visitors because you just feel too miserable. -you're drooling over the fall arrivals on the j crew website and planning what you want to buy/wear, but kind of freaking out because you fear you may never NOT look pregnant ever again.

This is so me!

When you walk in to a store you beeline it to the baby section to see what's on sale... forget about anything you would have looked at before (books, crafting, clothes!)

You drive around the parking lot for 20 minutes just to try and catch one of the first few parking spots.

Even if you are going to the store for a dozen eggs you grab a cart because it is so much easier to walk.

*can you tell I was in the store quite a bit this weekend?!

These last two!

When I first felt, LO move, I thought I would never get tired of it. Now that she just bounces between my ribs and head-butting my cervix all night, I'm starting to get worn out! I'm still going to really miss it, though.

I also keep putting off laundry because I'll be in the hospital soon, either wearing gowns or the clothes I already have packed. Somehow I can't seem to convince myself that I'll need something to wear when I come home and am probably even less interested in laundry....

THIS.

And, when you drop something on the floor, you don't even bother trying to pick it up anymore.

I wish they shopping carts at the mall so I could lean on one while roaming. Then again, I don't stay as long because my back hurts too much Target, on the other hand...I think I walked for an hour and a half.

My funny gripe: I have one pair of shoes that fits me at this point (I can't even get my feet in flip flops), but that one pair of shoes makes my feet smell. So I have to choose between my feet hurting and swelling in tight shoes or smelling in comfy shoes.

When you've gone from puking and not being able to cook at all, to nesting and making everything homemade and three course dinners, to the now being too tired and every night is soup and sandwhich night. Poor DH is becoming a big fan of McDonalds..
