You know you've reached your third trimester when...

When...
1. ...You have to rock from side to side to gain momentum in order to roll over in bed.
2. ...Putting on socks and shoes feels like a good cardio workout.
3. ...Your son tells you your lap isn't very comfortable anymore.
4. ...Missing a meal makes you cry.
5. ...You go to the grocery store for dog food, and come home with brownie mix instead.
6. ...You can no longer share an oversized armchair with your 8 year old child.
7. ...Pooping is cause for celebration.
8. ...You accidentally drop something on the floor and consider leaving it there so you don't have to bend over and pick it up.
9. ...You look in the mirror and think that it's someone else way fatter than you looking back.
10. ...Sneezing (or coughing, or laughing...) requires a change of clothes.
11. ...Your glovebox is stocked with snacks, just in case.
12. ...The maternity clothes you thought were so cute are now ugly and too small, and/or threadbare from frequent use and washing.
13. ...Everyone automatically reaches out their hands to help you up, knowing you need it.
14. ...The compulsion to nest is trumped by the desire to nap.
15. ...EVERYONE who sees you asks "How are you feeling?"
