1. A little kid walked up to me at church, stared at my belly, pointed, patted my belly and said, "Hey, is there a baby in there or what?"
2. Grant ran across the room to give me a big hug, and his head bounced off of my belly before his arms could wrap around my legs. I laughed pretty hard over that one!
3. Painting my toe nails counts as my workout for the day. I'm talking break-a-sweat-work-out. Really.
4. I try to squeeze between the wall and chair at the table and get stuck.
5. I cannot listen to certain songs (okay, pretty much any song that involves love, kids, patriotism, beautiful melody, etc.) on the radio without tears flowing down my cheeks. Truly a driving hazard.
6. I would give anything to sleep through the night--3am wake up calls are the norm.
7. The perpetual food spilled on my belly, or the line of water on my belly after doing the dishes or washing my hands.
8. I have to turn sideways to do the dishes.
9. My walk is a waddle, no matter how hard I concentrate on walking normally.
10. Belly button...where'd ya go?
11. The men who think it's okay to rub my belly while they talk to me. Would they ever do that to a non-pregnant woman? Of course not! But really, what's the difference, it's still my body.
About the photos...(BTW, these are NOT photos of me--just the best of what I found when I googled "huge pregnant belly.") Notice the sweet baby foot in the photo below--amazing! The first photo I will look at when I'm feeling particularly huge--it could always be worse.
