Suck it up!

So, today was my first true I'm pregnant moment. I decided to take advantage of a close parking spot at work. Since Dusty took the car, I had the truck. For those of you that have ever been with me in the truck, you know I am horrible at parking it. So, I squeeze into the spot and then open the door. Well, attempt to open the door. As I do, I start to get out and then get stuck. I try to suck it in, but it is not working. I get back in the car and try to figure out my next move. I back the truck up and try to fit better in the spot, but again, just a little too big. After the third try, I am able to finalize get out of the door and realize that maybe the walk from the back of the parking lot would have been good for me after all.

Now that I have had my first official pregnant moment, I can look back and realize, I have actually had several. I just never had admitted it.

So... I introduce... Top 10 signs I should have recognized as pregnant moments

1. I wake up every two hours (and no, that is not an exaggeration) I wake up at midnight, 2am, 4am, and 6am every night. Once would think it is just to go to the bathroom, and yes, that is part of it. The other half is that I am just plain hungry. No wonder why I was gaining a pound every other day.

2. I can now admit I have pee'ed in the most random places. In bed when I sneezed. In a restaurant when my friend made me laugh too hard. I literally pee'ed in my pants. In front of the toilet on the rug as I was yacking my brains out. The lesson learned from that one was no matter how bad you are about to throw up, always hold it and pee first.

3. I have the strangest line going down my stomach. Now, I am sure pregnant women get these all the time, but the strange part is that above my belly button, it is on the right side and below, it is on the left.

4. I have no moved up in the world from my size 8 1/2 shoe to a 10.

5. I can't even fit in size small maternity pants anymore.

6. Shaving and putting on my shoes have become difficult tasks.

7. At work, I tried to walk from building 2 to 20 and had to stop to catch my breath.

8. Everyone wants to put their hand on my belly including Simba who has started to sleep next to me with his paw on my belly, until they kick and he freaks out.

9. There is no longer a chance in heck that Dusty and I fit in a queen size bed.

10. I bought a Boppy.
