5 things I bumped into with my baby bump (including my kids)
by Laura Falin posted in Pregnancy
I was not one of those people you barely realize is pregnant before they have their baby. I gained 1/3 of my body weight and most of it was straight in the belly. I continually got asked why I hadn't had my baby when I was obviously 13 months pregnant. I had a babyyyyyy bump. And, since it was a temporary extremity, I was continually hitting things with it. Below, in no particular order, are several things I knocked over with my pregnant belly.
1.) Our china.
Every time I rounded the corner in our house, I hit the china cabinet with my belly. Every. Time. You'd think I'd learn, or that I would at least pack up the china, but I did not until after I sent a teacup and a few other things crashing to the ground. 2.) My toddler.Â
Yep. Several times, I turned around and whapped him on the side of the head with my baby bump. Fortunately, at that point, he was still wearing Pull-Ups and had some padding when he landed on his rear.
3.) The tchotchkes of my inlaws.
My inlaws own this adorable bungalow in Santa Monica. It is less than 1,000 square feet, which means even now I am a menace in there. When I took up extra space I wasn't used to -- I was a nightmare. I knocked over candlesticks and picture frames. I narrowly missed sending their dishes plummeting to the ground. I broke things I still haven't told them about (so...shhhhhh!).Â
4.) My steering wheel.
My belly was big enough to make driving somewhat problematic. I really had to stretch ...
