It's no longer comfortable or easy to bend over. I'm not that big yet, so I didn't expect this quite so soon. Simple tasks, like picking something up off the floor or unloading the dishwasher, are uncomfortable experiences for me. Shaving my legs in the shower is a PROJECT, let me tell ya. Makes me wonder how pregnant women that don't have the shower/tub combo ever shave their legs - without that ledge to elevate my leg that extra foot and a half, I'm pretty sure I'd be done shaving for good. Mom - did you, like, prop your foot up on a bucket or something in your standing shower when you were pregnant with me? So yeah, the whole I-get-winded-and-crampy-when-I-bend-over thing, that's new.
Baby Reeder has found my bladder, and she's using it as a trampoline. No joke, my mom and I were going to walk yesterday so I went to the bathroom right before we left. I had to stop about 20 minutes into the walk to pee again. Not 5 minutes later, I felt like I had to go again. That's new.
I can now feel my little one moving around when standing (used to be just when I was sitting). And it's much, much stronger when I'm standing for some reason. To the point that she startles me with a swift kick to the ute about twice a day while I'm moving about. She also kicks the kitchen counter when my belly presses up against it. That's new.
Apparently I "walk like a pregnant person" now. In other words, I waddle. Already. Ay yi yi. That's new. And awesome.
