Is that a bouncy ball - nope it's my bladder

I think the baby has found a new squishy organ to play punching games with - my bladder. A few minutes ago I was sitting in a meeting, sitting up fairly straight, and all of a sudden massive pressure on my bladder, which made me slide my legs forward and slouch my back backward, trying to get horizontal. A coworker next to me started laughing. This sudden punch / OMG did I pee myself / wait no I don't feel any wetness, but man that was close / feeling is becoming a common thing.

So to my friends that don't have kids yet and read this blog - I hope you have nice clean bathrooms at work, because you will be seeing them alot. I can go pee, wash my hands and open the door to leave and turn around thinking I have to pee again. seriously, it sucks. I tried posting a question to a board about this and the common responses I got were kinda funny - after you finish peeing, lean forward to try to express another few drops, or lean forward while holding up your tummy. Yes it's as awkward as you are picturing :)

Yeap... I had a hard time getting used to not leaning forward to pee anymore after having my kids. :) Leaning forward is your friend. :)

By the way, it was great to see you over the holidays. You really do look great!
