Oh the Joys of Pregnancy

Being pregnant is all in all an awesome experience. Growing a human being inside of you and feeling them move is so fun! But there are a few things about being pregnant that are not so glamorous.....You know you are ready to not be pregnant anymore when...


1. You go to the bathroom so much that you actually start to dread it and wish you could just get a catheter
2. You wake up in the middle of the night and your leg is numb from sleeping on it, but its too much of an ordeal to roll to the other side so you just try to ignore it
3. You grunt and groan like an old woman every time you get up
4. You don't remember what your feet look like
5. You can't get your wedding ring off your finger
6. You look at pictures of yourself earlier in your pregnancy and think, "Gosh I was skinny." HAHA
7. You can't remember what it is like to have a flat stomach
8. You frequent Sam's often to enjoy all the free samples
9. If you sneeze or cough you sometimes wet your pants, even though you JUST went to the bathroom
10. You are hot all the time
11. You have to stand in the kitchen every morning with the freezer and refrigerator door open to try and cool down for a minute. As soon as you close the doors though, you begin to sweat.
12. The thought of taking a hot shower makes you want to die. Instead taking an ice cold shower sounds absolutely divine.
13. You came up with a genius idea to fold your clothes for the day and put them in the freezer. That way when you are all ready to go, and sweating like a dog, you can put on your ice cold frozen clothes and have a moment of pure bliss.
14. You have to go to the bathroom so much that you made a fun little game of it. You make a tally mark in your planner each time you go, and see if the next day you can beat it. (For the record I am currently at 9 and its only 2PM)
15. You waddle like an old lady
16. Your feet are so swollen that even your flip flops leave intentions on your feet when you take them off
17. You cannot sleep enough.
18. You are wishing and hoping and praying that the doctor will tell you they made a mistake on your due date and you are actually due 2 weeks earlier than planned
19. The days drag on and on and on and on and on and on and on.....
20. You started out your pregnancy being nervous to give birth and now you can't wait because it means you won't be pregnant anymore!!!!

Oh, I remember those days! I especially relate to the one about your flip-flops leaving indentations on your feet.

You can add "You feel a little indigestion and pray that it's a contraction"

I can't wait for you to not be pregnant anymore, but not nearly as much as you're hoping for that day!
