Inventing

Tonight I was thinking how great it would be if my sink had a little half-moon carved out of it so I didn't have to lean my neck and upper back over it like a dinosaur as I do the dishes.

Other pregnancy friendly ideas:

-Make siestas the norm all over the world.

-While pregnant, you get an abbreviated work day to account for time needed for doctors' appointments, doing yoga to fight an achey back, trying to wiggle around to find the position where Baby's foot is not heartily lodged between your two lowest ribs, and meditating on the idea of being a parent.

-Special goggles to reduce sightings of sexy skinny women doing things you used to be able to do before gaining a small mountain in your midsection. Goggles would also make the swelling of your legs and feet go down.

-A delivery service that will act as a middle man and go all over town, including places that do not deliver (e.g. Whole Foods, on the other side of the traffic-y, pot-holed city), to indulge your cravings.

-An on-call person just down the hall that will cover for you at a moment's notice for frequent trips to the piddly diddly.

-Cute, comfortable work shoes that expand as much as your feet- then shrink back as your extremities do.

Maybe I'm on the wrong career path.

  2. You are on the Mommy career path. It takes a bit of sacrifice, but is totally worth it. I like your ideas though.
