Apparently I misjudge the largeness of my bump :/

Total number of small child knockouts today = 2!

This morning I knocked DD3 into the hallway wall with my belly. Then about five minutes ago I knocked DD2 into the corner of the counter. I felt so bad, but couldn't stop laughing until I was about to pee myself!

Do you run into things/people with your bump?

I run into people and. Doors when I'm pulling them open onwards me ALL THE TIME at work. I've lost all perception of how far my belly sticks out.

I'm still trying to squeeze between the chair and the wall like I did prepregnancy and I totally clocked DH in the head with the belly at family dinner the other night .

It's the worst when you hit a total stranger, I can't describe the awkwardness

Ah yes, the microwave is at bump height and I keep standing too close when I open it so it hits me every time.

Whoops! Hahaha

I'm a teacher so I'm constantly moving around desks and chairs and students. I think I bumped into three different people trying to "squeeze by unnoticed." There's no sneaking around anymore...

cowscrub

Yes. I still try to squeeze between the dining room table chairs and the back of the couch... And I have knocked DD into many things with my belly, and today I got DS in the head turning to quickly.

I knocked over a display of pies today at work. Then I just stared at them on the floor trying to decide if it was worth the effort to bend over and pick them up or just ask a coworker to get them.

I have been knocking stuff off my little counter area behind my desk consistently for the last couple weeks. I usually can have a stack of stuff there- buttttt not anymore. 

I definitely don't see my bump as being as big as it actually is (though, when I see a photo I become very much aware).

I was late to church the other day and was trying to slide into my seat. I ended up roughly brushing an older man in the back of the head, enough to cause his head to dip.

I also end up soaked any time I do dishes.

I very nearly knocked a friend over at church when I tried to squeeze out of the row during "peace".

jinkybink

No but my sister and my husband keep running into it. Geez.

I got stuck in my sons closet yesterday. He has a big bunk bed that cuts off infront of his closet doors. Well I could squeeze in the gap to get into his closet no problem a few weeks ago. And yesterday I somehow got myself in there, went to squeeze out after, and I couldn't fit. It was horrible. My DH works out of town too so the things running through my head were terrifying.
Luckily I was able to squat and shimmy my way out. Ugh. So glad no one but my 3 year old saw that.

For most of my life, it's been easier to squeeze through narrow areas by moving sideways. Now when I try that, I just smack things with my bump.
