Wash the dishes lol. I'm 33weeks and the sink hits my belly right under my belly button and it hurts. If I hunch over then I feel light headed but if I stand up straight and try to avoid the sink hitting my belly, my arms don't reach the water. If I stand sideways to rinse the dishes it gets uncomfortable :( so I end up letting the sink touch my belly for a bit then I sit down go on cafemom for 5 minutes and then get back to the dishes. It takes longer this way but its the only way that I can do it and not end up hurt.
What are somethings you are no longer able to do well because of your baby bump?

Aww. I can still do that but I have to stand on my side. Reach as far as I can with my right hand. Lucky for me my washer isn't too deep.

My 3 yr old figured out that I can't run up the stairs anymore and the little booger is taking advantage of it. If he does something he will run up the stairs quickly and by the time I get up there all out of breath he will be sitting in his bed playing with a toy.

This.

Also my kosher salt and other commonly used spices/seasonings are in a cabinet above my stove. I can't reach for them without turning a burner on or nearly burning myself.

How far along are you? Maybe you should put all of the stuff you can't reach for but like to use in a small basket or something. I don't put things above my stove just because I can't reach it anyways lol.
