Mommylogues: Sumo Wresting Mama!

It's a happy Monday again Ladies...
hopefully you all had an awesome Father's Day!
Team Pancakes went to a baseball game...
good times even though our team lost!!

Now onto this morning's post...
As a pregnant woman, i have become extra clumsy!
I drop everything and anything...
If i am holding it...chances are i will drop it.

When i drop something on the floor 
and there is no one around to help me pick it up...
(because people ARE really extra nice to pregnant people!)
i have to squat....sumo wrestling style to pick it up!

It is the most cumbersome thing having to pick up something off the floor
with a basketball in your belly.
And it happens all the time now where i am dropping things that i need.
It makes me miss being able to bend over.  
I miss my flexibility.  
But at the same time i know this is all happening for a short time.
The more my baby grows...the more my belly will get biggger.
And that's a wonderful and beautiful thing.
  
And the best part of dropping things and picking it up sumo wrestler style...
i am exercising my thigh muscles...
at least i like to think i am!

Good for you! Honestly the further I got along, I simply would just count it as a loss. I would drop something, look at it, look at my belly and say "oh well!" :) Forget it if my laces are untied....

I was so clumsy, I even fell a couple of times. My balance was way off.

Ahhh CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can't believe I haven't visited in so long. Yes, I was a terrible clumsy mess while pregnant. I avoided heels at all cost and lived in Uggs and flip flops :)

Ahhh, look at you! Well when I was pregnant, my balance was waaay off. During my pregnancy I lived overseas and I convinced my co worker to drive me an hour to Wendy's! I was sooo excited to get "real food" <-- LOL. On the way back to the car I somehow lost my balance and fell belly first onto the sidewalk (@8.5 months). My greedy behind was still holding my food and drink up over my head! SMH.

I don't think I was clumsy but probably because I walked like a duck to make up for the gravity shift. lol

Hahah I totally got a mental picture! Oh gee knowing me I would milk the whole thing .. prob call my husby and be like “I really need your help I just dropped my eyeliner” haha kidding! But you’re right its only for a short period of time.. what you’re creating in you is beyond any squats!! lol

Seriously cannot even imagine how being pregnant can really throw you off!

Haha. This post made me laugh. I too had to do the sumo wrestler move when I was pregnant. Good times.

I would imagine that it's so challenging to get used to the changes your body is going through. Work those thigh muscles! :) xoxo

Faith said...

Anything to work out the thighs ;)

And the picture you have created in my mind makes me giggle. I promise I am not laughing at you but with you :)

I am really clumsy, according to my husband. in my opinion, the walls just get in my way. I run into walls, the bed, the couch, whatever and end up with bruises on my legs constantly.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! When I was pregnant I had the most difficult time remembering anything. This was a big problem at my job, but I made it through. LOL!
