(Another) You Might Be Pregnant If...

*You need a minimum of 4 pillows to sleep with at night.

*Painting your toes turned out to be a major feat and you now have pulled muscles you didn't even know existed.

*You have a cold and can take... nothing. So you're a coughing, sneezing, running nose (yet stuffed up at the same time... HOW does that happen??), chapped lips mess.

*You've never been so thankful that the baby returned to a breech position and is no longer kicking the life out of your lungs and ribs.

*The new pale pink paint on the walls of your daughters' (Plural! You're gonna have TWO girls!!) room makes you giddy with excitement.

*Getting up to use the restroom in the middle of the night is a major accomplishment, what with the aforementioned pillows and a back that thinks it should act like that of  a 90 year old woman, who just got in a terrible car accident.  Right after back surgery.  And wasn't wearing a seat belt.

*Your skin is so dry it's soaking up lotion like the Sahara soaks up rain.

*You may have been caught pushing around an empty stroller, just for practice.

*Your re-sized, smaller wedding ring is getting too tight, and for the first time ever in pregnancy you may have to take it off. :,(

*You've never been so thankful that maternity fashion has come a LOOOONG way since you were pregnant with your first.

*You get sick from eating honey roasted peanuts.  And yet, can't stop eating them.

*You're actually looking forward to your 28 week Rhogam shot, because it's another milestone that brings you closer to the birth of your baby.

*YOU STILL CAN'T SETTLE ON A NAME. And it's driving you absolutely bonkers.
