Laziest thing you have done during pregnancy?

jarrard1983 · January 2015

I just ate orange sugar free Jello through a straw, because our dishwasher broke and we have no clean spoons..... I should really do dishes by hand, but I really don't feel like standing.

What have you done or not done lately?

lawsonellis · January 2015

Aside from my record of being in the same pjs for 4 days.... Laziest thing I can think of is asking my H to plug in my phone that is literally 2 ft from me because I don't want to lean over.

I've been so lazy this whole time though that I'm fairly certain my daily activities all qualify as super lazy

jarrard1983 · January 2015

I asked my husband to put on my socks today....

Haha I asked my H if next time he would shave my legs because I tried on Friday and it was so exhausting. He is very wary, but willing. We'll see if this actually happens.

MalVough · January 2015

I've been wearing slippers to work because bending over is for the birds. They aren't fuzzy bunny slippers - a little more discrete - so no one has called me out on it yet.

I yelled for DH to come into the bedroom from the downstairs to find the tv remote for me last night because I was too comfy in bed to look myself.

I do that to my husband all the time- he is generally unamused

I generally stretch out a blow dry a few days but I am really really pushing it these days. I haven't decided if it's that I'm too lazy to shampoo my hair, too lazy to blow dry it or both.

I ordered pizza for delivery from a place right down the street. I'm not proud.

mangomimosa · January 2015

Wendy's x4 this week b/c I didn't want to get out of the car to go to Subway. (And hadn't gotten off my ass to go grocery shopping in over a week...)

jarrard1983 · January 2015

So funny. I told my hubs that from now on we were going to split chores a new way.... If it's over my head, on the floor or the back of the counter, it's his responsibility, if I can comfortably get to it I will do it.... Eventually.... Which is what led to me eating Jello through a straw.

maryvh · January 2015

I'm bad about making my hubby do things for me. I've had him shave my legs twice and put on my shoes.

We have a drive thru Subway here. It is awesome!

Whaaaat? Those exist?!?

bmstee03 · January 2015

I love this post. Mostly I just don't feel so bad for all the crap I have asked DH to do. Ds helped me with my socks this morning.

hydrangeablue · January 2015

I made my husband reach over me to (in bed) turn off my lamp so I didn't have to rearrange my pillow fortress. Pretty much anything I need after I get into bed becomes his job... it's just too hard to get comfy anymore!

They do! And it's a touch screen menu so you don't have to deal with trying to explain your order to a person through a speaker. The best part- it saves your orders by phone number so you can easily do repeat orders!

I love subway but I HATE going in and smelling of subway bread all day. I've never seen one of those near me!! I'm bound to find one. I live in a big city- SURELY, I can find one.

To the google!!!

jarrard1983 · January 2015

We have a drive through Subway but it is so not that cool. I have to actually talk to the person making the sandwich....

mamajack86 · January 2015

I wish my H would do things for me, don't get me wrong he does, but not little things he knows I'm capable of, he would definetly call me out on it if I asked.
I have been pretty lazy lately and when I put my son down for his noon nap I get back into bed and sleep instead of taking that time to be productive.

hetispagetti · January 2015

These are all amazing!! If my partner doesn't offer to pick something up for me I will do it but with major groaning sound effects until he notices and offers to help!

cesquer · January 2015

I got a bell that I put next to my nightstand and ring for my H to come and fetch me stuff that's 2 feet away, like the remote control. I yell "Nurse boy!" It was a joke at first but it's oddly become a thing. I'm awful.

Also, my ob said he wants me to do 100 kegels per day. I usually quit after 5.

coleybug13 · January 2015

I have been insanely lazy a lot.. I have DS do a lot for me when he's home from school (especially now since he's on winter break) ex: put my shoes on and tie them, make and bring me chocolate milk, make and bring me a bowl of cereal, start my car for it to warm up (he's 9 so totally doable for him) etc. He is an amazing helper. SO side eyes me too much when I ask for help since he's pretty lazy himself. I had to ask him to go grocery shopping with me yesterday for help and it was like pulling teeth.

Yes this is me. H jumps at the opportunity to help after I'm comfy. He knows if I have to rearrange he won't get to sleep either!

nannabee21 · January 2015

I slept in the recliner with the dog while my H and MIL painted the nursery for hours one day. I'm not ashamed. I was occupying the dog yo.

jpavenski · January 2015

I have my DH put my boots on & off all the time & my 3 year old has been getting me tons of stuff when I'm being lazy, he likes helping. He has asked does it still hurt to bend mom?!

jarrard1983 · January 2015

I lucked out with the painting. They wouldn't let me in the room because of the fumes. I was secretly hoping hubby would get up early and take down all the tape and plastic, put the outlets covers back on and make me breakfast in bed..... He didn't though. A girl can dream.

LadySnowblood · January 2015

I have my toddler get me stuff and pick things up for me all the time. He loves to help so it's win/win lol

aylaroman15 · January 2015

If I'm sitting on the floor and need to get something across the room, crawling is the best mode of transportation. I don't know if this is lazy or not but actually getting up is so much work lol.

emcscott1 · January 2015

I taught my dog how to bring me blankets. Downside is sometimes she brings me the nasty ones from her kennel.

I ask my husband to hand my drink to me from the coffee table a LOT because I don't want to lean over. I have him bring my chapstick to me all the time because I don't want to get off the couch for it.

This reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite…"But my lips hurt really bad!"

I just checked our security cameras from my phone because I wanted to see how much snow we've gotten- but I didn't want to get up off the couch and walk two feet to look out the window..

I just check the weather app on my phone. But honestly, I do this when I'm not pregnant, too. It's my postmodern condition - the weather is what the screen tells me it is, not what I can actually observe or feel for myself

I leave my phone on H's pillow at night so I don't have to get up and put it on the charger. He puts my socks on too, because bending over sucks. I also usually have my hair in a pony tail b/c I'm too lazy to actually dry it.

I have the kids bring me stuff all the time, luckily they are easily bribe able and like to help mostly. DD tells me it's "boring" but still obliges.

All of this. Exactly. I mustered up the energy to paint my toenails today, but if i had any confidence in H doing them, I would pass the task onto him

JenLa21 · January 2015

I'm not too bad with my H, I'll take him up on all his offers yo do stuff for me, but I try not to ask for ridiculous favors...yet

BUT I did just discover a drive-thru Starbucks not too far from me. It's not close, there are probably 3 closer ones to me. But I will now be going out of my way so I don't have to get out of the car with DS for my peppermint mocha!!

Other than that, I don't get dressed if I'm not leaving the house. And I will kind of fish for visitors to stop by the store for me if they're coming over, so I don't have to go lol. So lazy.

genmccarley · January 2015

I let my 2 year old watch a shameful amount of cartoons in the mornings.

Also - touch screen subway sounds amazing! We have a drive through but it's just a regular boring drive thru.

Mches05 · January 2015

I love this. Mostly because now I don't feel as bad that everytime I drop something ( which is often) I ask the hubby to pick it up... And I'll wait until he comes into the room if he was doing something else if I don't need whatever I dropped immediately.

Seriously bending is hard! :-/

My floors are probably more dirty than i care to think about right now...

I also tell my husband that I can't do many things because the smells bother me still... E.g. Cleaning products... Which may be not very true and more so because I hate cleaning the bathroom....

noodlienoodles · January 2015

I asked a bunch of strangers on TB a stupid question that I could have googled myself... Oh wait, I'm not completely helpless!

In real life, I yelled for my husband to come upstairs and turn the fan off because the noise was bothering me - even though all has to do was get out of bed and turn the switch.

Mine has put my socks on several times. I never knew being able to bend over from a seated position was a luxury!

At least you can have a sense if humor about stupid bump questions. It happens a lot around here.

peeppeeppeep · January 2015

Reading all of these, I have come to the conclusion that I am incredibly lazy all of the time, not just when I'm pregnant. I do usually put on my own shoes though. Usually.

gdamore11 · January 2015

These make me laugh! I have been having H help me with socks and shoes for a few weeks now. It never occurred to me to feel guilty because of the inconvenience it is to me!!! I have given up on bending over for things as long as there's someone else around that can get it for me. I'm also embarrassed because one night we lost the remote in the sheets somewhere and he got up and practically stripped the bed looking for it....only to discover it was wedged under my butt. If that wasn't a big girl moment then... X_X

kcbizme · January 2015

If I drop something on the floor, I just ask someone nearby to pick it up for me (nicely). I will admit to pulling the pregnancy card on that one.

I ask H to take my boots off so I don't have to bend over, usually by sticking my foot out at him until he takes them off for me.

All this thread did was make me miss the first time I was pregnant and wish Haden was a little older so he could do stuff for me.

The first thing that kid is going to learn is how to get mommy a beer. Flame away.

OK not first thing. We mastered waving bye-bye over the holidays.

Side note- must rearrange fridge so beer is near bottom after baby is born, in preparation of Haden being old enough to complete this task.

He can already open the fridge so I say we're halfway there.

My FIL use to put dish towels on the fridge handles so it would be easier for them to pull the door open to get him a beer. He did this not only with his own kids, but neighborhood kids too. He had them all trained. Keep on working towards your goals.

lol @ training neighborhood kids.

I don't intend to corrupt any children other than my own.

You should consider it.... More kids should have this skill.

jarrard1983 · January 2015

I'm still in bed. My hunger isn't even motivating me to get up. My dog is so annoyed with this, that he is now laying half on my pillow and half on my face. I don't have the heart to move him though..... Lazy.
