The final 4 weeks... aka You might be REALLY pregnant when...

Here are just a few of the funny things that I can/not do because I am REALLY pregnant...

1.  I wear the same flip-flops every day to work because they are my 'dressy' ones (they are leather and smell like sweaty feet), and I can't bend over to tie shoe laces.  Plus, I am HOT all the time.

2.  I went and got a pedicure the other day because I can't reach my toes without suffocating myself.  That can't be good for the baby!

3.  Each time I sneeze or cough forcefully (or sometimes when I laugh hard) I wet my pants, just a little... not good when you teach middle school.

3. a. I use the restroom at least 5 times during the school day, not to mention the times at home.  And usually, when I think I REALLY have to go, I sit down and there's a little tiny tinkle that comes out... repeat every hour or two. 

4.  I use the elevator at school every chance I get, so I don't have to walk up three flights of stairs multiple times per day.  Plus, I am HOT all the time, and the extra exertion does nothing good for my sweaty state.

5.  I pretty much live in stretchy pants these days... even my preggo jeans are just not as comfy. Plus, they are hotter than my stretchy pants, and I don't mean that in a 'wow, baby you're hot' kind of way... more like a 'sweaty bowling ball with legs' kind of way.

6.  Even sleeping makes me hot.

7.  Acid Reflux... at 2am... thank God for Zantac!

8.  Gotta pee... at 3am... every night.

9.  My seatbelt keeps shifting up to my neck, and down across my upper thighs.

10.  I really don't feel the least bit guilty about gaining weight right now... quite possibly the only time(s) in my life to NOT feel guilty about that!

11.  I LOVE it when people ask to touch my belly... and I usually let them.  Just please, ask first!

12.  It's getting difficult to do laundry, because my belly is in the way.  Oh, darn... maybe Justin will have to do some laundry!  :)

13.  The thought of certain things makes me want to vomit... anything from certain foods to certain people to certain smells... this has evolved over the pregnancy.

14.  My husband, God bless him, thinks that I am sexy.  I do not share his thoughts on this.  Let's just say there's a little disappointment on both sides of this argument.

15.  Cherry Coke is the best drink on earth, especially if it's the kind made with Grenadine from the soda fountain.  Last pregnancy it was lemonade (Chik-fil-a) or Root Beer, which I both still love, but this time, it's cherry coke all the way. 

16.  Ice cream is seriously the best. invention. ever.  I could eat it every single day.  And most days, I do. 

Please feel free to add your thoughts on this... these are just some things that I could think of today.
