You never think about how your changing figure affects the things you do everyday.
- When I get out of the shower, I have to turn to the side to fit out of the glass sliding door.
- Peter and I usually brush our teeth together at night, but I can’t scoot behind him in the bathroom when I finish brushing first. I just don’t fit.
- I keep forgetting my stomach’s radius, which makes it hard to open doors without slamming them into my gut. Ow. This baby is going to come out with a dent in her head.
- I need a hand getting off the comfy couch, unless I just want to weeble wobble my way off the couch.
- Putting the pregnancy pillow between my legs before bed makes it nearly impossible to then cover myself in a blanket.
- Don’t even think about using a laptop in the 9th month of pregnancy. It is nearly impossible.
- Wiping your female area becomes really hard. There is this large obstacle in the way.
- You just start naturally folding clothes on your stomach because the extra surface area is there.
- You don’t want to sit in a booth at a restaurant because it takes too long to scoot out of the booth when you have to pee 90 times.
- People let you cross the street when they are in their car.
- Mothers yell at their younger sons if they don’t hold the door open for you. Poor Isaiah Michael.
I am excited about going to the doctor tomorrow. Maybe I will know something by then. She is going to peek in and see if there is any dilation this week. I feel like the menstrual cramps I’ve been having have been purposeless pain. That is the worst kind. Pain with no benefit!
Worst case scenario, if nothing is happening, then she is going to set an induction date for next week. I am just hoping this kid comes on the 19, 20, or 21… or AFTER Christmas. Just not on. *crosses fingers*
“Poor Isaiah Michael”… Made me giggle 🙂 It is amazing how much space you take up and how much you forget that you do. Rolling over in bed for me was almost impossible…. Ah, the joys of pregnancy…
