  1. Shave my legs.

  3. Get a good nights sleep...even with my snoogle and unisom.

  Sit. Seriously it's so uncomfortable just to sit on my couch!
  Rolling my fat belly out of bed too.
  And breathing.
  And wearing my size medium t shirts

  Paint my toenails and get up off the couch. Not too much longer and I'm just going to give up and get pedicures as long as it's warm enough for sandals!

  Umm let's see...
  
  Breathe
  Shave
  Tie my shoes
  Get outta bed
  Sleep
  Sit
  Blow dry my hair (because I sweat uncontrollably since being prego and it just re-curls)
  Fit into ANY clothes
  Get off the couch
  Wipe from front to back (I can't be the only one who can barely reach around!)
  Reach my toes to cut or paint
  
  I think my list could go on and on...
  
  Edited because I'm an idiot and put back to front, oh my! @McQuadesVA that isn't how my momma taught me either hahaha.

  Pick things up off the floor. If I drop something I take a moment to consider 'how much do I really need that???'

  I keep forgetting im pregnant and automatically bend down (it's a necessary thing with two under 4) and then have to try and not scream "fuuuuuuuck" when my muscles stretch too much!

  This. It's great when my family members think I should pick up everything from the floor. If I do bend over I then spend 5 minutes trying to decide if I will ever breathe again.

  I know people have said it already but seriously... tying my shoes... is the worst!  I end up holding my breath which, you know, is always a good thing...

  
  

  I've also knocked a few items off of the corners of tables that I used to be able to fit around.. at least i laugh when that happens instead of crying

  Put cups away that were cleaned in the dishwasher. The dishwasher is below the counter and the cups go directly above at head height. I need the dishwasher open to take them out but then my arms can't reach the shelf because my bump has me too far from the counter!

  Do dishes.

  I nearly cried yesterday because I was literally standing as close to the sink as I could get...like belly squished against the counter...and my DH and DDs kept bumping into me while trying to go past and then blaming me for being in the way!

  Ugh...do you want clean dishes or not!? (Talking to you, DH, because you always complain I don't do them often enough....)

  Do dishes without getting the bump wet. I'm tall enough that I can/have to rest my bump on the edge of the sink when I do dishes. But I always have a massive wet spot on my bump by the end because water is apparently attracted to the bump (either that or LO keeps peeing himself and its leaking out of my belly button)
  
  Also agreed with the bending over. Breathing is difficult and usually painful for me right now because of my rib deciding it wants to relocate, but after I bend over I sound like I ran a race and am recovering

  Washing my boys hair in the bath has also gotten harder. I love that I have a shower head with the long hose to spray them down but I know have to make them stand so I don't had to bend over as far. It also doesn't help when the squirm around when I am trying to rinse out their hair.
  
  Story time is also getting harder with baby pushing into my diaphragm while trying to read outload.....

  Getting out of the car!  So much grunting and huffing, not very ladylike.

  
  

  Also we're doing a lot of kneeling, spinning and high kicks in tai chi right now.  I'm glad they're open to 'modifying the moves to your abilities' because I basically can't do half of them anymore.

  Move groceries from the cart to the conveyor belt.  I have to stand in the aisle with the cart behind me to get the groceries out because the aisles are so small but my bump now keeps me from bending over enough to get the stuff in the back bottom of the cart.  I had to back my cart (and people behind me) out the back of the line the other day just so I could come in from the side to reach stuff.

  Reach the dishes in the bottom rack of the dishwasher (had to make DH do it last night).
  
  Baby kicks like crazy every time I'm at my desk and the edge of the desk presses against my bump. I don't think it likes being crowded in there. Oh well, get used to it, kid!

  These are cracking me up and oddly enough, making me feel better that we are all suffering through the same struggles together.  I'm adding to the above with this...taking my 6 month old, 35lb puppy for a walk is torture!  She doesn't seem to understand what a slow waddle pace is, which is all I can muster.
