You know you're really freaking pregnant when:
1. You finally get a good freaking parking space at the speech therapist's, but you can't open your car door wide enough to get out.
2. The only pair of shoes that you can jam on your feet is a wretched, stinky pair of slip on sneakers. And you can't even wear them with socks.
3. Every woman you run into looks at you with pity.
4. Your cankles are wider than your calves.
5. Just being in the sun - even though this sun is shining on New Jersey in October - makes you sweat profusely.
6. Your fingers resemble sausages.
7. You develop a cold, simply because you're not suffering enough.
8. You have one pair of pants that stays up high enough and two shirts that come down low enough to cover your belly.
9. You have developed new damn stretch marks.
10. Suddenly you have an inkling of what it would be like to "go postal".
11. Standing up means having to pee.
12. Standing up also means having to waddle.
13. Standing up means odd pelvic pains too.
14. In fact, standing up is something to be avoided at all costs.
15. You are jealous of an old classmate because - even though you were at the same level of pregnancy - she has given birth already. And you forget the fact that she has given birth to triplets, which you could never handle in million years.
16. You cannot shut up about the fact that you are NINE MONTHS PREGNANT, DAMMIT.

Oh, you poor thing. That last month is worse than the first ones.
I do not, I repeat, I do not miss this at all. I remember it all too well but do not miss it.
Aw, hang in there, honey! It won't be too much longer! Wish I could come give you a pedi; it might make you feel better, especially the feet soak!
You'll be there very soon. And, I often feel like going postal and I'm not 9 months pregnant.
When standing up means peeing while you waddle. Totally been there.
You are going to be fine! just a few more weeks!! I missed you tonight (we did, MK, too)
I have not forgotten -- let's try and meet up so I can give you all those baby clothes -- but as far as covering you up for the next few days, I've got to have something that fits :) I'll call you soon!
This would be just one of the many reasons why I'm thrilled we adopted.
You're so close! Goodluck, I can remember how that time is, even though it's been five years since my last child. Although I'm with Nichole, its seems like women do have the lucky ability to forget all of that. No way I could have gone through this three times if I remembered it in vivid detail.
