To add to the mix how about almost crying after being yelled at by someone in my work's parking garage who had parked 1/2 way into my spot. I should have been angry but instead what I really wanted was to turn around and drive the 75+ minutes home to cry into an ice cream container.

Yes! They played the Lady Gaga song "till it happens to you" on NPR yesterday and talked about how Brie Larson hugged all the survivors that were on stage and I cried all my makeup off before getting to work! I'm back to my first trimester cry fests.
You cry at anything and everything. I may or may not have sobbed during a 30 for 30 documentary about the Chicago Bears '85 season. I don't even LIKE football!
You drop things on the floor and seriously consider whether or not you'll miss them from your life if you just leave them there and walk away.
And you also encourage your dog to sit by you in the kitchen when you're preparing dinner, so that in the very likely even that you drop something, she can just clean it up for you.
Love this!! Every time I see something on the floor, I have the gather the strength to bend down lol! I feel like an old lady!
And don't you just love puppy dogs, they clean up all your messes

Mine used to be great at clean-up duty, but the brief toddler-throwing-food-when-he's-finished phase ruined him. It made him picky about what he'll clean up, and now he begs my son for food (now that it's not being thrown/dumped off of the table) so we have to separate the two at mealtimes.

My beagle doesn't discriminate! If it's not nailed down, he will eat it. Actually, scratch that. He will eat anything.
When you order a delicious lunch and take two bites, then realize you don't actually want that after all.

(I guess I need to lean over the sink further than normal now to compensate for my tummy)
Change toothpaste to everything and I agree! I spill food on myself all the time. The other day I tried to drink water and just...poured it all over myself instead. I'm like a toddler!
When you're walking on the treadmill and think, "Oh my god. Did I just pee a little?" Then step off the treadmill to go check and confirm your fears. Yes, yes you did pee on yourself.

This. Every single meal I pretty much end up with something on myself. At this point if DH notices it, he just shakes his head and laughs.
When you can't stand for more than 5 minutes at a time without getting tired. thankfully I was at church, so it just looked like I was having a prayerful moment instead of having to catch my breath from standing still.
When you've given up trying to give honest answers to all the "how are you feeling?" and "how's the pregnancy going?" and just answer, "fine" to everything. Because if I start actually telling you how I'm feeling, we're going to be here a while (and EVERYONE asks these questions all the freakin time).
When the baby brain is so bad that you get up, turn off the light in your office, then go to the bathroom, come back into your office and are shocked as to why the lights are off, sit down at your computer, type up a maintenance ticket because you are sure your light bulbs blew, and then check the light switch to find that you actually turned off the light switch. Wow, just wow.

Because if I start actually telling you how I'm feeling, we're going to be here a while (and EVERYONE asks these questions all the freakin time).
And most people don't want to really know...they just want the opportunity to say "just wait until the baby comes" or "you've got such a long way to go still." Or, and I've gotten this a few times over the past week: "Well, you ARE pregnant don't forget" or "You DO realize you're pregnant don't you?" I....WHAT? I'm WHAT?! OMG Why didn't anyone tell me???

When total strangers ask if you are OK or need help while you are limp-waddling to work. Maybe just let me waddle on by and not comment, I'm obviously just super pregnant. I really do appreciate the sentiment but also, I don't. Thanks for making me feel even more self conscious about my new gait and pace random woman who's "been there" and man who has "5 kids and knows how it is."
You walk your dog in the morning and it's cold out. After the walk you have to pee (of course! It's been more than 30 minutes). You sit down on the toilet and your bump is so cold on the tops of you thighs...

When you eat and are EXTREMELY full even though you only ate half a regular size portion but just 20 minutes later you're starving again and it is a vicious cycle all day! Then your boss and coworkers point out how your snacks aren't very healthy for the baby! I'm sorry but I'm eating nonstop and if I want bugles I'll have bugles!
Re: You know you're hitting the 3rd tri when....
and also, when your husband rolls over to give you morning cuddles and you respond by farting on him
the couch was just so much more comfortable!

OMG, yes! Every freakin' time. How much worse is it going to get over the next 9 1/2 weeks! UGH
