You know you are pregnant if. . .


1. You find yourself thinking not just about how life will change when the baby comes but what happens when they are a teenager, they get married, they go to school.

2. Drinking milk is like a chore but eating a tub of ice cream is normal.

3. Crying takes on a whole new meaning. A good book tears, a good movie tears, a random thought tears.

4. Hot flashes are frequent and so are cold flashes, camera flashes, and I am not getting off the couch flashes.

5. You can't remember all the things that were supposed to be on your grocery list. Instead you end up leaving with a box of fried shrimp you fully intend to eat yourself, and two containers of vinegar chips. Oh yeah and a onesie for next fourth of July.

6. You fall asleep mid sentence (1st trimester only), hopefully.

7. You find yourself wanting pants with elastic waistbands.

8. A trip to the drive through for a shake feels like a trip to a theme park.

9. Sleep is a friend and a rival.

10. A trip to the grocery store seems like running a 5K marathon without the right shoes.


Ok so I am starting this new thing and periodically I will post about funny things that indicate you are pregnant. If you are already a mom please share some too, if not have fun laughing because these posts are sure to be funny:)

P.S. We are still in the process of unpacking at a dangerously high speed. Thanks to everyone who prayed for the move it went smoothly.

You know when you're nine months pregnant when you drop something on the floor and you have to think about whether or not you really need it. ;o)
