Worth Every Penny.

Today's post comes to you from mommy...

I may be speaking only for my very pregnant self, but things seem to get considerably more uncomfortable as the big "d" day draws near. Normal everyday movements become major exertions of energy leaving me out of breath and glowing with a shiny mist of perspiration. Simple acts like getting out of bed, walking up the stairs, and/or tying my shoes become so tiresome that I must rest afterwards. You get the idea. One of the most difficult movements has become anything that involves bending over. It is nearly impossible to bend over without some sort of yelp, whine and/or whimper. In response to this, Andy came home one day with the PERFECT solution to my immobility.Meet my new sidekick, the EZ-Grabber. I am officially hooked. Seriously, go and get yourself this amazing genius of an invention. It is practically attached to my hip at this point and I'm pretty sure (no, I'm definitely sure) that I will continue using it until I develop a severe case of carpel-tunnel syndrome from squeezing the trigger. I haven't bent over to pick up a toy, or anything else for that matter, in two weeks. Now that is pure laziness awesomeness.

Yes, I have seen this used before, mostly with the geriatric population and those who have recently had total hip and knee replacements...hee hee, whatever gets you through these last days!

Are you suggesting that I pass it along to someone in greater need of this handy tool when the pregnancy is over??? NO WAY. :)
