You know you're pregnant when.....

Over the course of the last 24 weeks I've come to learn a LOT about my body and have experienced a myriad of changes in it.  It's amazing to think that this tiny 1 pound, foot long, ear of corn sized little boy is causing all of these changes and is growing bigger and bigger inside of me every day!  So I thought I would compile a list of "you know you're pregnant when..." here goes!

You really know you're pregnant when....
  • Your every waking thought revolves around food and what you're going to eat next.
  • Every food that goes into your mouth is either AMAZINGLY delicious or so revolting that you'll "never do that again"....until the next time you're "starving" :)
  • Eating those oh-so-scrumptious foods often gives you major heartburn, but it doesn't matter....it tasted SO good!
  • You make a slight grunting noise when attempting to get off your ever so cushiony couch
  • you begin resting your hands on top of your belly because it just seems like a natural resting place
  • Questions like "how far along are you?" and "boy or girl?" become commonplace while grocery shopping (for that AMAZINGLY delicious food!)
  • The Pampers commercial (you know the one....with all the babies and the whole premise being that pampers doesn't care how they enter the world, they all matter....) makes you teary eyed
  • you can't remember ANYTHING unless it's written down....and even then, there's no guarantee
  • you spend your free time perusing the web looking at various nursery design ideas (and pin them on your pintrest board so you don't forget that great idea tomorrow) and reading reviews of baby equipment
  • A former student approaches you with her book bag on the front of her body and says "look!  we match!  I can't see my feet either!"  oh boy....
So there you have it.....just SOME of the ways that you really know you are indeed pregnant!  What about you....anything to add to that list?


And now for the bump watch.....I know I'm a little behind on these posts....I try to keep up, it's just so hard!  :) 


23 weeks


24 weeks and growing all the time!
 Can you tell that school has started back.....I think I look more tired and I've given up on fixing my hair.... pony tail it is....  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. You know you are pregnant when....

    -you vow never to return to regular pants after wearing SUPER comfy maternity clothes...genius stretch bands!
    -people ask, "how many are you having?" and have NO idea it makes us go home in tears to our husbands (haha...happened multiple times to me)
    -you can't wear your wedding band or engagement ring due to swelling
    -a body pillow is a MUST at nighttime
    -you toss and turn to find that ONE comfortable position to sleep in...by the time you find it, it's time to pee AGAIN haha
    -you don't need a napkin at meal time anymore...all the crumbs fall on your belly instead of the floor!

    I could go on and on!!!! ENJOY being pregnant even thought it can be miserable at times. It will be well worth it :)
