You know you're approaching your due date when...

  • your maternity shirts no longer cover your belly.
  • you have a cup of coffee in the morning, a Diet Coke in the afternoon, and an iced tea for dinner.
  • you find time to organize your pantry, kitchen cabinets, laundry room, closets, and so on.
  • you no longer look at the scale. Who cares at this point?!!
  • the billing lady at your OB's office knows you by name.
  • rolling over in bed and standing up from the floor take actual effort on your part.
  • people comment, "You look like you are going to pop." Gee thanks.
  • you email a friend from work about your latest prenatal appointment, providing ALL the details of how you are progressing, only to get the response, "Um, I think you meant to send this to a different Mary B., but congrats on your baby!"
  • episodes of MTV's Teen Mom always make you cry.
  • you have washed everything for the baby but have it neatly folded in laundry baskets because you HAVE NO DRESSER TO PUT THEM IN.
  • the lady at the furniture store tells you the furniture you ordered in mid-October still sits at the manufacturer in New Jersey, you contemplate renting a U-Haul to go and pick it up.
  • the lady at the furniture store tells you "at least two weeks" (the same thing she said two weeks ago) you immediately call your husband and have an emotional breakdown.

Whew. I actually feel better now.

I had an emotional breakdown over baby furniture too! Glad to know I'm not the only one :)
