You know you're 38 weeks pregnant when.......


You only have one outfit you can still fit into.

  • People start commenting on your size in the grocery check out line.

  • People say "you're still here" when you show up to work or church.

  • You wonder how you are going to shave your legs or if you even care any more.

  • Your daughter says, "Mom, I hope our baby comes soon so you don't have to wear that dress to church anymore." And, "I wish your belly would hurt really bad so my baby brother will come."

  • Your husband is sleeping on the couch because you're too hot and too annoying to sleep next too.

  • You sleep with cold wash rags on your legs and head at night.

  • You're sure your esophagus has holes in it due to the endless amount of heartburn and there is a bottle of TUMS on your bedside table.

  • Your kidneys are permanently bruised

  • The nurse at the doctor's office says, "You're still here, you look great just hang in there."

  • You're hesitant to commit to anything.
  • Your family answers the phone on the first ring wondering how fast they need to get there.

  • You have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and eat because you're starving.
  • The fridge is stocked and your cupboards are totally organized.
  • You've ironed the pillowcases and reorganized the drawers so many times you've lost count.
  • You're irritated when people walk on your vacuum lines.

  • It's debatable whether you can see your toes.

  • People are looking at you weird when you are at the gym.

  • The only reason you're at the gym is in hopes to force the baby out.

  • You have purchased Castor Oil and are threatening to use it!

  • You really have to focus when you laugh in order to not wet your pants.

  • Your husband says you have reached "blue whale" status. (Don't worry it doesn't offend me~it's been a running joke with every pregnancy!)

  • The car seat base is in the car.

  • There is a suitcase next to the bed.

  • You pray every night that tonight is the night because you are done!!!!

Please come soon baby boy!

We are oh so anxious to meet you.

You look so gorgeous in that picture. And you don't look even close to 38 weeks either. What a cute little baby bump. Good luck with everything. I'm excited to see pictures.
