Have another entry for the book I am writing

If I ever get around to writing that book I am going to dedicate a whole chapter to shaving. The legs aren't too bad, yes they are splothcy and I have cut myself several times but that isn't all that bad. It is the bikini area that is really giving me a run for my money.

I do not and never have liked it to be 'wild'. I have always been well trimmed and taken care of. (Tee hee, what a blog hey?) But it is impossible now! I have tried a mirror in the shower, even the anti-fog ones fog up. Plus there is nothing like dancing on a wet surface trying to manuever to see more. I have tried guessing (you can imagine how well that turned out) and at a last ditched effort, I tried dry shaving (hold for winces). Yes it hurt like hell and now on top of smelling like fart, I can't stop itching my crotch.

Speaking of fart, I have a story for you. I had a pregnancy dvd that had a couples section. I finally convinced Matt to do it with me - he only had to provide resistance. Well I was having a prety flatulent day and the workout had squats in it. You do the math. Well apparently even though I warned him, the one that came out was deadly. He started gagging and screaming 'Gross!' Well of course that made me laugh so hard I peed myself. I guess I don't have to tell you we won't be doing that again.

My ILs have a pool so I've had to stay well trimmed the whole pregnancy basically. Know what I do? I sit on a towel on the edge of the tub with my feet inside, holding a large mirror against the tub wall(seriously, a big mirror is better - mine is about 8 inches X 15 inches). I spread the ol' legs, get everything wet, lather, and since the mirror's so large I can see the whole region. I keep a large jug of warm water beside me for rinsing my razor between swipes.

I use the edges of the towel I sit on to help pull the belly back so I can see more of my bikini line. Now that I've had so much practice, I can get the whole thing done in less than 5 minutes.

It works like a charm!

Haha, that cracks me up! I remember the shaving part (although I was in early spring so eventually let that pipe dream fall to the wayside) but the farting thing, I got Mike a couple times on accident!

Thanks Michelle for the tips. Hopefully I'll need them someday.

Hi, I kind of stumbled upon your blog, and I hope you don't mind if I come around to read it sometimes. I am also pregnant, and yes, I have the same problem with shaving right now! I'm ok on the legs, but... I was so embarrassed during my last visit to the Dr because I just couldn't shave and looked too much on the "free flowing" side. (^_^)

Good luck to us, haha.
