You know you're ready to have your baby when...
Wednesday, November 03, 2010...it takes you at least 5 minutes to roll over in bed at night and once you get to the side you wanted, you realize you have to pee and need to roll back over
...people tell you what a great seat your belly makes for your 1-year old
...you can't reach around your belly to wipe. Enough said.
...you raid your change cup so you can satisfy your Pumpkin Spice Latte cravings
...you need a snack in between every meal
...you take Tums religiously at night so you don't wake up with terrible heartburn
...your swollen ankles remind you of elephant legs
...every time you get in the car you feel like you have to adjust the seat back to make more room for your belly. Don't even ask if my feet REALLY can reach the pedals anymore :)
...it takes you twice as long to walk your "normal" loop
...you need a crane to get you out of an overstuffed chair
...you wake up with an energy to clean the whole house one day and the next you feel like you are a walking zombie
...you have to hoist your belly up over the counter ledge to reach the sink faucet
...your maternity pants feel too snug
...your feet are so swollen that your friend touches your feet and says it feels like memory foam
...your maternity shirts don't QUITE reach all the way over your belly
...your dad says your belly is so big that it resides in a different zip code
...you are always trying to cover up the gap between your pants and your shirt in public
...you just really wish you could reach your toes to paint them one last time
...you avoid any shoes with laces
...you start playing "bumper belly" with your protruding belly
...you catch your daughter playing peek-a-boo with you, using your belly as the hiding place
...you notice a 3-year old in Target staring at you with her jaw gaping open
...when you sneeze, you think your bladder is going to explode all over the floor
...the bankteller looks at your belly and asks "Is there just one in there??!", and then looks shocked when you tell her there IS only just one
...you start wearing your slippers everywhere, instead of even trying to put shoes on
...your daughter starts "banging" on your belly like it's a drum
...you go to the bathroom at least every 10 minutes
...you are going to the hospital to be induced!!!! FINALLY!!!!!
