- I can't bend over. That makes putting on and tying shoes so much fun; as does feeding the dogs. But I figured out work arounds that include Twister like maneuvers.
- Shaving my legs is an exercise in futility.
- My belly button no longer exists now that my belly is stretched out. We refer to it as being "aired out" and hopefully will return once baby bear arrives.
- I can no longer walk both dogs. The walk takes longer but such is life. Which leads me to...
- I don't go anywhere where a bathroom isn't accessible.
- I don't sleep more than 2 hours at a time. Wake up. Pee. Repeat if I'm lucky. I know they say its preparing me for motherhood, but I'd rather wait for the surprise.
- I still miss wine terribly. I was with friends this weekend where the wine was flowing and it just made me sad. That's the one restricted item I miss on a daily basis.
- Getting up stairs is not fun. Awesome considering my office is now in the basement.
- Some days I can't get enough food and others I don't want to eat dinner.
- And my biggest surprise...people are surprisingly NOT courteous to me, pregnant lady. I've had people cut me off on multiple occasions lining up to pay or cutting me off while TheHubs is holding the door for me. Yeah buddy in the backwards cap, my husband is holding the door for you, not the waddling lady you almost knocked over. Seriously.
But in all reality, there are some awesome things too:
- TheHubs is beyond wonderful/amazing/best husband in the world.
- Mexican food doesn't make me vomit anymore (that wasn't a fun phase.)
- I don't feel guilty about taking it easy after work.
- Watching my belly grow is one of the most interesting things - science is cool.
- Connecting on a new level with people who have kids;
- Feeling the love from those that don't, but support us none the less.
-Happy March Madness! GO DUKE!
