try this . . .

if you've never been pregnant, try this -- stuff a basketball or other large ball under your shirt. then attempt to cut your toenails.

i never knew this would be one of the challenges to face during pregnancy. but, i just can't get to my toes very easily any more.

mr. pike laughed when i told him that it might be time for me to get pedicures from now until baby girl arrives. i asked him to try cutting his toenails with his new basketball under his shirt, and if he still felt the same way, i'd go back to clipping my own nails. he hasn't taken me up on the challenge yet. i'll give him a few more days before i call it a forfeit and book an appointment for my toes.
