How To Tell If You're Near The End of Pregnancy

• You feel like the baby is NEVER coming out!  And in that same hour, talk yourself into believing it will all happen much sooner than you think and it will all be worth it.  Do this several times over a 3 hour period, especially after a visit to the doctor that you get your hopes up about and then don't hear the answers you thought you would hear.
• Nothing fits right.  Your shirts ride up in the back because of your protruding belly in the front, and may not in some cases even cover your whole belly in the front.  That's when you start wearing your husbands big t-shirts. And looking like you're wearing a tent.
• You get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and have to stand and wait a minute for gravity to help your bones to shift enough to begin the walk to the bathroom. 
• You're used to waking up several times a night just to turn over.  And your husband gets used to
• waking up due to the groaning and moaning coming from you when you turn over.  
• One word.  Swelling.
• Can't seem to make short-term goals, or commit to any kind of project due to the fact that the baby could come "any day" and you would hate to be interrupted and leave a big mess for yourself to clean up after having a baby.
•  
• Having the baby comes up in every conversation you have with anyone.  All. Day. Long.
• Every night you dream you're in labor, only to wake up and verify that it was, AGAIN, just a dream.
• Have a name planned out for baby, only to suddenly begin to wonder if it really IS the right name for her.  Go back and forth several times before delivery.
• Wonder if the ultrasound could have been wrong, and what if she's a boy?  Should I pack boy clothes for the hospital just in case?  ;)
• You get your hospital bag all packed before you go to the doctor, just in case you're not aware of the fact that you're currently in labor and possibly dilated to a 5 ?!? (If only)
• Your husband keeps telling you the perfect days to go into labor, for him.
