Things My Mom Can No Longer Do

During these last few days and weeks with my sister in mom's belly, things are getting rather difficult for my mom to do.  I've noticed we are moving at a slower pace and with a lot of added sound effects.  Here are some things my mom can no longer do in weeks 36-37.


1.  The "Bend and Snap"... you know, like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde?  It's now more like the "Spread Your Legs to the Side and Hope Your Arms Grew a Little" or "Use Your Feet" method.

2.  Paint her toenails

3.  Dry any part of her body below her knees when getting out of the shower.

4.  Effectively look behind her while backing out of a parking spot.  Fingers crossed.

5.  Lift weights (oh wait, she could never do this...)


6.  Stop laughing

7.  Stop crying

8.  Stop eating.  We eat all day long.  This is when mom and I were running errands.  She got herself lunch while we were out one day and we couldn't even make it home before she had to eat it.   Luckily she had snacks for me too so we could both eat in the Hy-Vee parking lot.  


9.  Sit in a bag chair at my dad's games.  She really does look like a bloated tick.


10.  Clean a car.  Grandpaw had to do this for mom because of how messy I've made it.  Of course she asked the poor guy to help her with this at noon on a sunny 90 degree day.  He also installed the car seat too.  That's because mom can't following a manual.  



11.  Wash her face at the bathroom sink unless she stands on her tip toes.

12.  Go a day without a nap.

13.  Clean the floors...when does Grammie get here??

14.  Effectively listen to a video on how to swaddle AND actually swaddle.  Dad nailed it.  



15.  Refrain from awkwardly passing gas around other people.  This is very uncomfortable for everyone involved.   

Despite these minor and brief disadvantages, we still LOVE having my sister grow bigger each day.  We just can't wait to meet her!  

Love,
Nelson
