2) ...you feel it over your lap when sitting down (without leaning)
3) ...it's hard to get close enough to the mirror to pluck your eyebrows
4) ...you use your hands to grab the belly to help turn from one side to the next when laying down (otherwise the belly stays on the opposite side of where your body is going!).
5) ...you hit your bump with the fridge door a couple of times a day
6) ...it can be used as a side table for things like coffee, books or speaker phones (my babies are used to my work conference calls by now!).
7) ...people tell you you're not that big and then proceed to tell you it's any day now (and you still have a couple of months to go)
8) ...the band on your "secret fit" maternity pants which started right under your bra is barely coming up to your belly button!
9) ...you walk around with all sorts of food spots in your belly and have no idea until a gentle soul tells you (or you happen to look up while in one of the 500 trips to the bathroom). Disclaimer: most of my food stains are from cooking people, not from eating. Although it's not a bad idea to keep the apron on for both activities.
10)...you stare at your reflection in store windows or glass doors and wonder "wow, who's that woman with the big belly!!!??...that looks like it hurts!"
And yet still...I will miss the bump once it's gone!

LOL! I totally contemplated taking a photograph of toothpaste on my tummy last night! Oh, and I, too,wear an apron while cooking AND eating. What a great list!

Yeah, you'll miss the bump. I still miss mine! Truly! Great list, though - I remember all of those too well. =)
