Things I found out that become harder......
I'm not talking about your normal tying of the shoes, bending at the waist stuff. What did you never even think about that has now become a challenge?
I realized that trying to squat over a public toilet takes all the concentration and balance of a Chinese acrobat. I used to take my squatting for granted.
What about you?

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
Getting into my car after DH readjusted the seat all the way down
Climbing the stairs in my school w/ my class right on my heels nearly tripping me
Getting out of bed at night trying to get untangled from "Bruce" my huge prego pillow & the 3 other pillows surrounding me

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
- The most frustrating of all is not being able to bend forward to get something.
- Also being able to put my feet in each pant leg or put panties on each morning is quite challenging.
- Not being able to be myself like doing stuff on my own. I had to promise DH I would not rearrange furniture, etc. I am very independent and don't like to rely on others. So, that has be difficult for me.

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
I also realized that I need to stand further from my pans on the stove. I've realized many times that my belly is actually touching the frying pan and I don't know it. DH screams "You're frying the baby!!!!"

YES! This happened to me a few nights ago...my belly was getting so hot I realized I had to either turn to the side or stand back further! Poor baby!

You have me hysterical with this one! I can't tell you how many times I thought my shirt was going to catch on fire because my stomach is touching the stove! You really forget sometimes how far it sticks out!

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
Ummm..... I have a difficult time wiping  I swear I get light headed...
I've learned to lean against a wall when putting on pants and underwear.
Forget putting on sock and sneakers- doesn't happen unless DH is home.
Shaving the "junk" is impossible. The last time I attempted and asked DH if I did OK he asked if I was trying to shave my name into it....!

Is this possible? The other day I ended up with mustard on my shirt...the worst part was I didn't know it until I got to work. Apparently my belly touched the drop on the counter while I was making my sandwich for lunch!!

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
I just thought of another- rolling over at night. UGH- it's a whole process that I have to literally mentally gear myself up to do.
Bracing myself for a sneeze by crossing the legs tightly and holding my belly.

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
oh here's another funny story...took my dog to the vet on Thursday and he is a Yorkie, so I just put him on the scale (the examining table is actually the scale) and the vet tells me my dog weighs like 5 lbs more than I think he does....and then I realize that my belly was sitting on the scale along with my dog

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
I needed to hear all of these!!!!!! Keep them coming!
Lately, DH has been going to work while I'm still sleeping. (Our schedules always change.) I always sit up to give him a hug and kiss goodbye. He just admitted to me that it makes his day watching me 'try' to sit up now.

Re: Things I found out that become harder......
For me, the most things have hit me recently. Walking longer distances is more difficult. I feel like one of those little old ladies who shuffle down the street instead of walking!
Exiting and entering parkways when driving when you have to look behind you to see if a car is coming before you can go.
Getting out of bed in the middle of the night and then getting back in and rearranging all of my pillows around me.
Putting on pants, underwear, socks, etc. Thank goodness our bed is raised up high off the bed so I can just lean on that. DH gets amused watching me take 2 or 3 attempts to get my foot and leg into whatever I'm trying to put on.

I completely agree with looking left to merge. It is sooooo hard, I was just telling DH this the other day!
