I was noticing that after my shower that my normal size bath towel (not the bath sheet) fits around me and ClOSES completley! YEA!!:wink2:

Banded April 1 2008

The bathtowel victory was great for me too . . . lol. I will never buy another bathsheet again (but I still have some old ones in case my belly gets a little big with this pregnancy).

Another great NSV for me has been sitting on the floor with my arms wrapped around my knees . . . this is amazingly very comfortable and easy now.

I also am amazed where I can fit now. Have you ever been in a crowded room where you have to squeeze behind someone's chair but you know it will never happen, so you have them get up for you to get through. I can now fit in some itty bitty spaces . . . and I am not quite used to it, it still amazes me.

I just thought of one more . . . but this might seem a little silly.

I go to a step aerobics class a couple of times a week. At the end there is a stretch where you stand on one foot and bring the other foot up behind you and hold it with your hand.

Well, in the beginning . . . I could never keep my balance for more than 1.5 seconds if I was lucky and it wasnt always easy to "catch" my foot. I started standing by the wall and feeling like a dope so I could keep from falling over gracelessly.

Now I can and do keep my balance. I now have a normal center of gravity and it is not big deal. :0)

I have to fly allot and it used to be a shore.

Some of my NSV are being able to walk straight down the isle without fear of hitting everyone with my hips or having to walk sideways.

Another is not having to have a seatbelt extender. I also have a great big smile when I actually have to tighten it to fit.

I also enjoy using the tray table since it does not hit my stomach any more and actually have to extend it.
