Awkward Pregnancy Moments

One of the blogs that I love to read does a post called "Awkward and Awesome Thursday". I have recently gone back through the posts that were made while she was pregnant and let me tell you, they are hilarious. I usually skipped over these at the beginning of my pregnancy because I was more interested in the pictures of her maternity outfits. After re-reading these posts, it made me realize how awkward pregnancy is ALREADY getting to be for me. I decided to start my own version and share with you some of my moments...and at times, possibly humiliate myself. Here we go...

• Walking into school realizing that my wide open zipper, which is supposed to be covered by my “belly band”, is completely exposed for everyone to see.
• Discovering that my belly was too big for the undershirt that I had on and having to go buy a new one and then change in a bathroom stall (at school). This cannot be done gracefully.
• Wondering if I were to laugh any harder would I no longer be able to control my bodily functions. Dang pregnancy hormones causing everything to “relax”.
• Having to lift each leg to the side in order to put on my socks because I can no longer lean forward comfortably.
• Being so completely out of breath after walking from the living room to the bedroom. This, by the way, is a really short distance.
•  Having to wear way-too-tight prepregnancy pants because my planned “laundry day” turned into “sit on my butt day". And baby trying to find room in an already cramped space because my jeans are compressing my belly.
•  My husband pointing out the fact that my belly button is going to POP any day now…and him thinking it is hilarious.
• Walking through a store with people staring at me and me feeling like I may be looking a little “soft”, resulting in me rubbing my belly with my left hand in order to make it clear that I am pregnant AND married…and not 13 years old
