Top 10 ways you know you are about to have a baby (or two)!

Although I am not actually about to have the babies (I have at least 3-7 weeks to go), I look and feel as if I should be giving birth tomorrow! I had another ultrasound today and both babies are weighing in at almost 4 pds. each! It's crazy to think that I already have 8 pds. of baby in me! Here are some of the lovely pregnancy signs that remind me I am nearing the end:

10. Everywhere I go complete strangers make the comment, "you must be due any day"

9. Sleeping is impossible, I get up at least 5 times a night to pee

8. I can't remember the last time I looked down and saw the lower part of my body

7. My belly gets in the way of everything -I burned it on the skillet the other day flipping pancakes

6. I broke out in tears for NO reason at all having a perfectly normal conversation with my husband

5. I almost fall about 5 times a day as my legs go numb from the babies pushing on my sciatic nerve

4. I can get a good 10 hours of sleep at night and still feel like I can take a nap at any point during the day

3. I can't get off the couch without Chad giving me a boost

2. Everyone asks what made me break out in a rash -- it's called the "mask of pregnancy" and it is oh so lovely (can't wait till it's gone)

1. My BACK, oh my back! I feel like an old lady waddling around with my hands on my lower back and looking for the nearest place to sit down

Although it's not always pleasant (especially at this point), I am still constantly reminded of the miracle and blessing it is to carry a child (or children). I feel so lucky and blessed to have had a normal and healthy pregnancy thus far, and I know when I first meet these little babies I will forget about this uncomfortable moment of time!
