You drop something on the floor and say to your SO, "There is no way I am going to be able to pick that up" (happened at Costco last night when I was enjoying a rather large slice of pizza - the fork fell, not the pizza, thank goodness!)
...you say to your husband "maybe tonight I will make it through the night without eating" and you still totally get up at 2:30 and eat a hand full of sour gummy worms in the dark
...your feet have decided you weigh entirely too much and just hurt all the time. ...you question every little stomach pain and wonder if "this is it" ...walking and talking means you run out of breath ...sleep is becoming a distant memory
...you say to your husband "maybe tonight I will make it through the night without eating" and you still totally get up at 2:30 and eat a hand full of sour gummy worms in the dark
This made me giggle! I'm thinking I need to add sour gummy worms to my nightstand stash. Sounds better than the nutrigrain bars I've been having.
...when you forget what you're talking about mid-sentence. ...when you wake up several times in the middle of the night to pee and someone asks you how you slept and you don't know how to answer, because at least you slept at all. ...when seeing babies or baby things make your boobs sore/tingle/etc. (TMI?)
...when it's is a 5-10 minute ordeal to roll over in bed and get comfortable again. Let's not even discuss the amount of times it takes to get up out of the bed.

... when you say f*ck it and eat burger king for lunch! (seriously someone should have stopped this one)
... when you become obsessed about the decrease/increase in the amount of discharge every time you pee.
... when you buy your kids Easter candy a week early and feel accomplished but then have to replenish it three days before Easter because you ate it all throughout the week
all of the above! Forget shoes, I've been wearing flip flops to work and I don't care anymore! Totally eat lunch early and getting to the point that I don't care if I do have ice cream and another sweet in the same day!

When rolling over requires grunts, moans and other noises and then leaves you out of breath.
when instead of picking up dog toys you kick them into a pile and leave them for DH to pick up.
When you leave piles of laundry to be taken upstairs and you wait a week for DH to do it so you don't have to walk up or down stairs
when you breathe heavily without realizing and DH asks if anything is wrong. Nope just out of breath from opening the fridge and sitting back down.
Yup! It's H's job every weekend to bring the fully dirty basket down. Then I leave the full clean basket for him to bring up, but it sits down there allllll week. Which means putting on a dress in the morning and remember to stop at the basket downstairs for the underwear I want.
...when almost every story you tell ends with "and then I ate it all." (It's like the pregnancy equivalent of "and then I found five dollars.")
+1 on pain while rolling over, sweating through sleepless nights, constantly getting winded, and never ever picking anything up off the floor again
@cclaineDC and @WombThereItIs I spent the last two weeks in DC, and while I mostly rode the Metro during off-peak hours, the one time I rode at rush hour I didn't have a seat and nobody offered me one. I felt like yelling, "YOU PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLE!"
I love all of these. I cant remeber who said it but the "breathing hard so your husband asks whats wrong" keeps happening over here..he keeps thinking I'm mad about something
...you stub your toes ALL of the time because you can't see them and you're shuffling around to walk, not really picking up your feet.
I was also going to say many of these others but you all said them! The other day in class I dropped my dry erase marker and I said, "I'm not picking that up. I'm getting a new one. I have to pick my battles now" to my students. (It was capped so I wasn't being that irresponsible.)
And yes yes yes to all of the bedtime/rolling over ones. The worst! I also feel for the public transit folks. When I was pregnant with #1 I used to use public transit to commute. It was late fall/early winter so I was wearing a big coat but I'd make a point of unzipping it right before I boarded so people could see the bump. I almost always was offered a seat but sometimes I had to walk way into the bus before someone offered. Incidentally, it was almost always a woman. Men almost never offered.
... when you walk into the living room, eliminate in your mind all the possible places to sit, because you know you can't easily get out of them, and narrow it down to the last remaining seat on the couch, only to see that the dog's laying there, so you don't hesitate to wake her up and get her to move over ... and you don't feel bad about it. at. all.
...when you just went to use the restroom that is in the next building over but forgot to take your tervis cup to get more ice and water and have no desire to go back, but you really want some! Maybe a student assistant will get it for me...
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." ~Charlie Chaplin
... when you realize you're standing like two feet away from the kitchen counter doing food prep and your arms are stretched as far as they'll go and the counter's still touching your belly...
@nda_roxybabe I would be in trouble with a night stand stash! I was fumbling around the dark kitchen looking for gummy worms I was certain I saw a few days before. Most nights this semester DH is still up doing course prep in the living room and will send me a text guessing what yummy treasure I had found. He has gotten good at guessing just by sound
@SKZW Dishes are one of my main chores, and it's killing me. I literally can't get over the sink enough!
...when you ask DH if he wants a smoothie because you want one and hope he'll offer to make it because, let's be honest, doing anything is work these days. (He didn't and I ended up making a mess.)
...when you accidentally bump into things with your belly and find yourself mystified that there was something that close to your body that you didn't register until too late (a door, a counter, etc.)
Re: You know you are so pregnant when...
p.s. Making H take the dog out when he gets home since I take her out in the morning.

...you lost track of your weight because you can't stand on the scale and still see the numbers under your belly anymore
...you also give no f-cks about the above anymore because pregnant.
