I had to quit swimming because for some reason that gives me acid reflux. It always did before, but being pregnant it was 10x worse. Kudos on still doing burpees though!!
Only the best worst exercise ever. It sucks SO bad, but it basically works every muscle in your body and is cardio on top of the strength work. I both love and hate doing them. CrossFit Burpee Demo: https://youtu.be/21dvQyNiTjM
You feel like you are PMSing everyday by the end of the day! Seriously, by the end of the day I have no patience with anyone and it doesn't matter what kind of day I had up until that point.
When you attempt to fill out more "thank you" cards and have a breakdown over the pile of them because you're so overwhelmed. Yes, I'm pretty pathetic lately.
Good for you for keeping those up !
My fitness related one is... you used to run 8:30 mm... now it's 12:30ish
I can't even run anymore my hips hurt so bad! I miss it
Mine is when you bump into things with your belly because you forget how far out it sticks.
This. When you get wedged between the door and the closure in the bathroom stalls at work because you're used to just gliding right through that now tiny opening...
Yes! I am starting to learn bathroom stalls were not designed with pregnant women in mind. I've been in public restrooms where I literally have to try to straddle the toilet just to open the door.
When you are flying (just took my last trip!) and can't reach your bag under the seat in front of you because your belly won't let you lean down that far. Same goes for pedicures - I see going to the nail salon in my future!

Anymore I go for the handicap stall when I can. Otherwise it's a door belly battle!

Every time you poop its worth celebrating! I seriously do! My son thinks we are potty training together! Lol Good thing for kiwi!
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses.... All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

I feel you on this one. I finally bought thank you cards and stamps and that in itself was a huge accomplishment! They are sitting on our table so I walk by and look at them everyday hoping for some motivation. My plan was to get started this past weekend but that never happened. The thought of writing out 50+ thank you cards is not appealing. I wish it were socially acceptable and/or appropriate to send out thank you e-mails!
When you go to do something totally normal, like pick something up that you have dropped....and you get stuck in an awkward position, on the floor.....
Alternatively, when you drop something and kick it under the couch or a chair so it becomes out of sight out of mind.
My husband stepped in a puddle of water in the kitchen the other day. When he asked what it was I told him I dropped an ice cube and it wasn't worth trying to pick it up.
Edited because quote fail!

When you finally get comfortable on the couch and your phone rings (which is on the other side of the couch charging) and you say f*ck it i will call them back.
When tennis shoes all of a sudden match anything!
When you change and have crumbs in your shirt and bra...
When you need a new mattress because you have to literally pull on the side of yours to drag your ass out of bed (seriously I'm ruining ours because I have no other way to manage to get out of bed anymore)
Tennis shoes and socks cut off the circulation in your feet..
When you feel like the hump back of Notre Dame because standing for more than 5 minutes makes you stoop over!
When getting in and out if bed or rolling over requires it least 5 minutes of your time! Or you get stuck and have to scream for your husband cause your half on half off the bed and don't want to hit the floor lol
When you really want to wear your favorites shoes, but they have buckles so you make you husband buckle them for you. Then you wear them with your pajamas until hubby can help you get out of them.

When you squat down in the yard while weeding, and attempt to burp, but instead you throw up a little bit in your mouth.
Then, as you laugh and tell your husband about it later, he appears to be completely horrified.
