I am DONE bending over until this baby is out!

I just dropped a chip on the floor and kicked it under the table so I wouldn't step on it later. Yep, done bending over to pick up things until this little guy is out!

Anyone else?

    Unless I have something to grab on to, I can't bend or squat.

    I was done about 2 weeks ago. Not exactly able to do so. I'm glad if I drop food on the floor the dog will eat it. But with LO it's hard.

    The other day in Target I noticed they have those reachy-grabby pincher things in the aisle with the outdoor toys/bubbles/etc. I totally should have grabbed one! Bending over is brutal these days.

    All of sudden bending over is the worst! No matter how I try to do it, it freaking hurts. Chasing after a toddler who continuously drops things has become very inconvenient.

    Yes! I was just saying I need to buy one of those things.

    Left a pen on the floor all day at work for this very reason. I definitely didn't realize bending would be so difficult.

    Yup. If it's not my cell phone or my keys I don't bother. Luckily DD is able and happy to help mommy pick stuff up. Definitely an advantage.

    I teach 1st grade & after my kids have watched me drop things, look at them, & walk away, they now offer to pick them up for me without hesitating. So sweet :)

    I'm there with you! Every time I do I have to hold my breath. I get so light headed once I'm back up. For get it! The dog will get the food and the kids can get the rest. Lol

    No more here either. Today I retired any sandals that require buckling. Flip flops exclusively from now on!

    I have my own daycare, ages ranging from 13 weeks to 5 years. That baby never hits the floor, because I can't get the both of us back up.

    The older kids are getting really good at helping me pick up and I use the toe method all the time! I've been living in flip flops for a month now!

    I can't help but make a small grunting noise when I try to bend over or squat to pick things up!! Not very lady like!! ;)

    I have Post-It pads sitting on the floor under my work desk I am putting off picking up..

    Toes are a wonderful invention for picking things up :-) and if toes cant get it its gets left until im on the floor for an important job then im pretty much down there till i need the loo

    I work at a daycare...not bending over is not an option.  It is torture.  I can barely bend over and when I do, a child takes a swing at another child's privates and I get in trouble for improper supervision when I was helping them clean up their blocks.  I can hardly get up from the floor and I am working until my due date.  YAY ME!!!!!

    Thankfully my husband and coworker will pick up almost anything for me. If it's food one of the Aussies will grab it up. I try using my toes to pick up clothes now but get killer foot cramps doing it. Suuuucks. We still got at least another 2mos of this ladies some of you almost 3!

    ...how depressing.

    Bending over is the worst. If I squat, it hurts my hips. If I bend at the waist, my stomach acid is forced up into my throat. I'm so glad that when I'm at home, DS likes to help mommy. He'll pick things up and hand them to me.

    I either leave it for the dogs (food only of course) or grab it with my toes. If it's nothing important, I'll just leave it on the floor and blame it on the toddler for making a mess.
    DH could care less what the house looks like, so I'm pretty much off the hook. It's my conscience that makes me pick things up most of the time.

    ETA: food not good - stupid autocorrect!!! Food is always the right answer.

    I don't mind squatting down, but bending from the sitting position is just cruel

    Someone had dropped a cardigan on the floor of the bathroom by the public toilet at work. Rather than pick it up and turn it in to lost and found, I just went to another stall.

    Count me in the "using the older child to pick-up what mommy drops" club!

    I am so happy that I no longer have to wear socks and shoes!!!  Yay for slip on sandals/flip flops!!!

    My pooch loves to be in my arms so I make him climb a few stairs so I don't have to bend down as far to reach him. What do you STMs with babies do!?!

    Laundry that doesn't go on hangers gets tossed in drawers I can pull open with my toes only...

    Stopped wearing socks and have been throwing dresses on as much as possible.

    Edit-got to long...man I could go on and on...

    For some reason I thought this was the set up to a dirty joke, but I just can't find the context to place it...
