When I was grocery shopping yesterday I wanted to pick up some ketchup that was on great sale, but most of the bottles were already gone. And it was on the very bottom shelf! I had to stop a man walking by and ask if he minded bending down and reaching way in the back to grab a bottle for me. :giggle2:
And we went to the aquarium the other day and I sat on the floor in front of the diver's tank with DS to watch a show. When it was time to get up my friend AND the man behind me had to help me get up! We were laughing our butts off but it was kind of embarrassing, still!
What kind of stuff are you gals having trouble with?

All that kind of stuff. I don't even bother bending over to clean the floor or pick up something I dropped cause I'll get dizzy getting back up. I leave all that for the kids and my husband and I clean things around the house that are at higher level. Sitting on the floor is a no-no because I know I can't get up! I'm such an independent person too so I hate not being able to carry a basket of laundry from the back porch into the house because my belly is in the way or having to sit down and breathe to finish something so simple like fixing dinner! I tried sweeping and mopping the house last week and it took me like 2 hours to finish because I had to keep stopping to breathe and let my back rest. Yeah, mobility is definetly my biggest issue, even rolling over in bed is hard to do. I'm so glad it's almost over!

Sitting on my couch is fun , but getting up is even funnier..:giggle2:
Climbing on to my high bed is like climbing onto a horse. I need step stool.
I have to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes...or so it seems...but then I realize that it's just pressure..and I really don't have to go!! I'm exhausted from just making the trip...forget about the contortionist I have to become to wipe myself...but that is TMI. :roflmbo:
I'm very active, but when I sit to relax...I want to relax. That's when my little tenant decides to get active. So I sit on my couch to relax and watch some tv...and then the fun starts!! I swear she is kicking and rolling around in there. You don't even have to touch it...you can SEE IT!!
Even so...It's still worth it. I'm praying to do it all again!! once this one is around a year old.

I drop stuff constantly. Cannot sit at the dinner table like a normal person. I sit sideways in the chair to accommodate my belly. I spill food all over me when I'm eating usually right on the bump. And my 'puter is now further down my lap, because I am sticking out. I still feel good though. I've been painting DD's room, because DH is tied up with a big project in our living room. Trying to get that done, so I can focus on cleaning the house before our MW comes for our 36 week home visit.

Socks are the bane of my existence at this point. I have my husband put them on and take them off for me. I need a pedi so bad because I can't take care of my toe nails myself anymore (and God knows they need it at this point!).
And recently there have been very painful gas bubbles stuck in my chest... right at a point where the baby can kick. So I have this pain in my chest that my son wants to knock loose for me apparently. I wish he'd stop being so helpful :S

Anybody else having carpal tunnel? Mine started last week, I thought I must have just slept on my hand wrong. My right hand is numb and tingly all the time. The left hand is not as bad. Dr. said I just need to stop using my hand for awhile. Kind of hard to do.

I get it at times...especially at night , If I sleep in certain positions. It's really annoying.
I've never had carpal tunnel before...so i'm thinking it'll go away after the baby.
