So, I tried to do squats yesterday as part of my leg workout. I don't know what happened between last week and this week, but I feel like my belly must have doubled in size or something. Last week, squats were uncomfortable, but do-able. This week, they were just plain comical. Luckily, no one was around to see. (At least, as far as I know.) Every rep, I tried widening my stance to make room for my belly, until finally, my legs were so far apart, there wasn't really any up-and-down movement when I squatted- I was just kind of standing there with a bar on my shoulders bobbing.
So, I guess my squat days are over for the next 3 months, which really bites, because it is my favorite leg exercise. Unless any of you formerly pregnant women have figured out a trick you are willing to share with me on how to compensate for the big belly - I am definitely open to suggestions.

Hey Aims, one of the (only)wonderful things about being prego is you get to skip out on all that exercise stuff and you have a good excuse. I'm sure you are still a bean. I bet you are cute pregnant. I can't picture it-- you should post one for my benefit. :) Hope you are doing good- I am so excited to hear about your baby-on-the-way!!
