I can still...

lindsladle15 · December 2016

To kind of piggyback off of @canavara post and continue the positivity, I thought this would be fun.
Tell us something (despite how huge, uncomfortable, etc. we all are) that you can still do!

For example: I personally can still shave my legs and cut my own toenails! I can also (just barely) still fit the bath towel around myself and wear my wedding rings.

I can still bend over to pick something off the ground, though I don't tell DH that!

LastMango · December 2016

I can still pick up my toddler and wear my wedding rings.

amaren-2 · December 2016

I can still...run!

I go super slow, but I am proud that I can still put on my running shoes and run 2-3 miles. It is amazing to me that I can still do it. It is a way for me to center myself and feel good.

hjmorgan-2 · December 2016

I can still tie my shoes! It's getting difficult... but I can still do it! Also shave my legs.

nolemama24 · December 2016

I can still wear my rings! And I can still walk all the way up and down stairs with laundry

I don't like doing it but it has to be done, haha!

cjs260 · December 2016

I can tie my shoes, shave my legs, do my squats, and (kinda) bend over!

christac1010 · December 2016

I can still paint my toe nails. And I can still comfortably fit in my pre-pregnancy underwear and yoga pants.

canavara · December 2016

I can still sumo squat! My fiancee fell over doing a squat last night and I was like, "Pssssh check this out." I'm jealous of anyone that can still run or touch their toes though--he has to trim my toenails for me haha.

ceclarlinetlo · December 2016

I can still cut and paint my toenails, get stuff I drop off the ground (grand plié style not bending over), wear prepregnancy underwear, and still zip my boots but that is slowly coming to an end.

hjmorgan-2 · December 2016

I feel like I'm doing workout squats every time I pick something up,... By the end we should all have super muscular legs. LOL!

aishmc · December 2016

I can put on socks! Shoes are another story.

I can pick things up off the ground most of the time too.

SDuodu · December 2016

I can still squat and pick up my daughter

sagoon · December 2016

Pick stuff up off the floor, wear my rings, and put on socks/shoes. Getting off the couch, on the other hand, is becoming more and more difficult!

Kittievr4 · December 2016

I can still pick up my 2 year old pretty comfortably, and shave my legs.

MamaandNurse · December 2016

I can still pick up my kiddo. I can shave my legs but just barely. I don't even care about it anymore. My hoo-ha on the other hand, well I just let the hubby do that for me.

I've been shaving blind on this one.... So far it's all been good. May have to recruit DH the closer it gets to my due date. lol

shlecks · December 2016

I can still wear my rings, pick things up off the floor, SLEEP(fingers crossed that stays!), stand basically all day, shave (barely), and zip my boots (barely).

ashanne88 · December 2016

I can still wear my wedding ring, shave my legs (although it takes some fancy maneuvering) and pick up my 2.5 year old. I can still work too, so I'm calling that a win.

colleenkevin · December 2016

I can still wear my rings, pick things up off the ground, and pick up my 2 year old. I agree with @ashanne88 working full time is a huge win for me too - I'm so over it every day is a victory for me.

hayhay2501 · December 2016

I can still walk three miles every day as part of my commute. I'm slower but I can do it!

Ashleybrandon1990 · December 2016

As of last week I could still shave my hoo-ha, but I just got out of the shower and I had to blindly shave today

lindsladle15 · December 2016

I forgot to add "special time" with DH, as I call it.

It is not glamorous or particularly comfortable, but we can still manage.

momof2girls+? · December 2016

I can still shave my legs and blindly shave my hoo-ha. I pick things up by squatting. I go up and down stairs for laundry mostly even though I hate it. I'm still working.

andrawrmeda2 · December 2016

I can still do alot, my baby bumps seem to be small, although she is bigger than my DS was I can definitely tell that! I think I'm mostly amazed I can still bend over decent. With DS, I would get heartburn immediately and she's starting to get to that point now. I can still shave, not that I care cause I don't wear much other than jeans and yoga pants lol I guess I should add I can still wear all but 2 pairs of my jeans. My SIL hates that I wear them still! hahah

MaryNog · December 2016

I can still fall back asleep quickly after waking up to go to the bathroom.

so much positivity today, high fives to @canavara and @lindsladle15!

azwildcat62 · December 2016

I can still work out at my boot camp!

wpowell · December 2016

I can still wear my wedding ring, touch my toes, shave my legs, tie my shoes, and workout.

moosette113 · December 2016

Does it still count as "being able to do something" if I need to sprawl out on the couch to catch my breath for a few minutes after doing it? Because otherwise I can cross off putting on socks and winter boots off my list...

I'm not sure....I feel like I'm going to pass out after cutting my toenails, so I guess that's just me being stubborn and not asking for help!

mjschenk · December 2016

Still half the time make it through the night without having to pee woot I'll take it.

So jealous. I haven't slept through the night since May.

KarliQ88 · December 2016

I can still fit my wedding ring (no swelling/edema!)
I can shave my legs/tie my shoes
I Can pick things up off the floor
I can still take the stairs to my doctor appointment. Much more winded but i can do it
I can sleep 6hours/night. Might have to get up to pee once/twice but fall back asleep. Much better since my doctor gave me higher dose of zantac to help with heartburn

TexasGal24 · December 2016

I fit my wedding rings
I can reach my legs but I'm too scared of falling over in the shower to shave
I can still sleep (after a short bout of not being able to sleep)
I can squat
I can still go for walks/short hikes (for the mama's that are RUNNING - MAJOR props! I couldn't even do that pre-pregnancy!

)

No fitting into pre-pregnancy underwear here. My butt is HUGE!! I can put them on but I just instantly get a giant wedgie! I've moved onto larger/brief-like underwear.

sarah1198 · December 2016

I'm so jealous of all of you who can still wear their rings!!!
I can sleep 6-8 hours only getting up once to per
I can shave successfully (though flying blind)
I can cut my toenails
I can put socks on but have long given up on tying my shoes and got slip on sketchers sneakers.
I can still wear my prepregnancy jammies
Most of these things are accomplished and then I'm winded for a few minutes!

newyearsbaby5 · December 2016

Today I'm wearing regular pants! Granted they're low waist pants, so they're completely under my bump and my shirt is long to hold it all in, but just knowing my legs can fit in them the same way is a good feeling.

canavara · December 2016

I was so proud of the no edema/being able to wear my ring still until my doula rained on my parade and was like, "It is 18 degrees outside so you're less likely to have swelling." Dammit lady, I'm waddling everywhere I go and I can't even put my own shoes and socks on anymore, just let me have this one thing please.

mommywesley · December 2016

I can still walk

I feel the same way! I was patting myself on the back and then I realized my other two pregnancies ended in the summer...

Teach123 · December 2016

I can still blink. Pretty much all of those other things you guys mentioned are out.
