I bet! It sounds like a good way to get around the belly. I remember
stifling snickers watching my poor wife do this sort of rocking back and
forth on the floor several times until she got to her laces, and your method
sounds much more dignified.
Oh, and STOP LIFTING STUFF!! You'e as bad as Charlene was! You could hurt
yourself or your little one. It's great to be an independent, can-do kind
of woman, but since this is the last time for the next 18+ years you'll be
able to take it easy, you should take advantage of that! :)
Sorry to chide, but it's that protective husband thing coming out. :)
