You know you're nine months pregnant when...
...you don't want to travel anywhere too far from your doctor or hospital b/c you think your water's going to break any time now.
...you start doing some "last minute" cleaning b/c you know the next time you dust your furniture won't be for another few months... if that (lol)
...you figure you only have a few more weeks to eat like a pig so you say "heck let me each as much as i want now" b/c after this i'll have to go on a strict diet.
...the kind of bacon you wanted didn't come with your order and you start crying.
...when you actually start seriously contemplating walking for hours on end to start labor
...when you look in the mirror and don't recognize your new, "robust" self
...when the kicking ceases to be cute and actually hurts!
...just the thought of going out in the heat makes you start to swell.
...you not only eat a snack before leaving to go out for dinner, but you bring another back-up snack in your purse, just in case the extras in your glove box are gone!
...when you can no longer ....or barely put your shoes or socks on your self.
...when you tell labor to 'bring it on' instead of being scared.

...when your puffy feet and cankles are fun to mold and make shapes with.
...when everything and nothing sounds good to eat anymore.
...when you seriously sleep with 6 pillows. Just for you. Maybe more.
...when you get stuck on other people's (or your own) furniture and cannot get up...no really, you can't

...when you change your sleeping position in one hour more times then you normally change your underwear in one year.
...when you get nervous about your husband driving a half hour away to work. (**or a five minute walk away because he forgets to keep his cell phone on!)
...when stairs look like mountains.
...when you feel like your clothes should say 'tent' instead of the actual size.
...when you actually forget that you forgot something, remember later that you forgot something, but still can't remember what you originally forgot! - - what was the question???
...oh, and what was I trying to say? Because even the simple words elude me these days... "hey honey...can u put the clothes in the fridge? erm, um, I mean sink..... CRAP!!! I mean dryer.. yeah... thats the word"
And (although true rather than funny).... when your doctors appointments have turned into once a week visits. :)

I know it has been almost a year since I experienced all of this...but, this really does sum up they way I felt, its so true!! I'm so excited for you guys but so sorry you have to be 9 months pregnant. There is a switch that is flipped as soon as you get to nine months, so crazy! Don't worry its worth it :) I can't wait to see this little girl!
That is so funny because it's so true! Hang in there Jamie! The worst is yet to come. I will pray for you that you don't go over your due date. Sophia was 3 days late and it was the hardest 3 days of my life. Seriously.
Jamie! I found you! Now we can be blogging friends too.
P.S. sooo true. Being nine months pregnant is not so fun, but she's almost here! Also, nice finds on craigslist.
I love this list . . . hang in there. The best really is yet to come!! And then after awhile (this could mean anywhere from a few weeks to a few years for some of us) you forget what is what like to be pregnant and you decide you'd like to try it again!!
I hate being pregnant, but I love my kids! They are hilarious, it is so worth it!! We'll pray for you to make it through the next couple of weeks!
You're almost there Jamie! Try not to fret about when. My two lovely 7 and 10 day late babies were very happily welcomed when they finally made their appearances, but I just tried to remember, that really honestly, I couldn't be pregnant forever. Enjoy these last couple weeks with Derek - and PLEASE call us when she makes her appearance! :)
Just to clarify: I really am feeling great and cannot complain. I am definitely more tired and feeling big. I just thought this was pretty funny because most of them are so true! We are getting super excited to hold this little girl in our arms, but are definitely trying to make the most of our time before the busy life with kids begins. (although studying and preparations take up most of the time). Also, I am expecting her to come late so I am not disappointed when that "estimated" due date comes and goes without a little girl. I was the only child of my moms that came late, so I am planning on it coming back to haunt me. :)
Funny and oh so true! I was 8 days late with Lyric and they really do seem like the longest days of your life. But once they get here you realize it was all for the best. If she had come on her due date she would have been tiny and maybe had problems. But she just wasn't ready to come yet. Your little girl will make her appearance when she's ready. Give me a call if you get bored waiting and want to talk!
I forgot to say how cute the picture is. You look great!!
