| Rolling over in bed is fun (I mean that innocently!). I sleep on my left but my bedside table is on the right so it's like acrobatics time every time I want some water or a gaviscon. Maybe hubby and I should swap but then I'd probably fall out as I've slept on the same side for 10 years now!
Getting up from sitting is also fun - especially when on a train/tube - I look like a little old lady (lol!) And out of garden chairs is simply impossible - if hubby wasn't there I'd be stuck forever!!
And we're all gonna get bigger   |

I'm Currently Feeling: | The best part is trying to get up off the sofa, out of the bath, or what not.
Have to say, shaving is a whole bunch of fun too. |

I have a maternity pillow too - how do you use yours??

I have to admit, they can be very slippery.
Glad all is ok!  |

I can't even keep on top of it now. Think "WAXING" now! |

Thats what I was thinking as I caught a rather scary glimpse of myself in the mirror with one leg up in the air and my hands feeling around like I was reading a braille book or something...... |

| This thread is killing me.
My back is bad as well- the bed (even though very firm) seems to be making it worse. On bad back days I waddle like a duck too!
I totally understand where you guys are coming from- I have battled with my weight all my life. Just when I was able to get into size 10 jeans after months of dieting and working out, I got preggers. So happy to be pregnant, but wish I had more that a week in those jeans.
I am also relying on the magical power of breastfeeding to burn everything away!  |

Hmm, did your hubby see you doing this?
I went into the shower the other day and used Veet. Obviously I didn't wait the recommended time so the next day while bathing I looked and thought, WTF did this hair come from?
The only thing I hate about waxing is you have to let the hair grow first. Don't know if I can handle that.
I am also very modest and the waxing experience will be rather strange! |
