We Should Have Thought About It...

When I was still pregnant with our third child, because of a lot of pain I was in that I acquired from my two previous pregnancies, moving around and doing chores were a lot harder for me. Aside from the fact that I've been pregnant back to back, my belly, this time, was way bigger than when I was pregnant with the boys. Even getting up in the morning or trying to stand up from a sitting position took me time to be able to get on my feet.

I remember one afternoon, I decided to cook pasta for our dinner and as I was trying to grab a pot to boil the pasta in, I suddenly felt a stabbing pain along my lower back area. I had to bend a little lower so I could take it out of the cabinet where we keep them. We actually had to put them on the lowest shelves because we don't have a lot of cabinets and they're not big enough to fit all the kitchenware we have. I recall the pain being so intense that I almost literally screamed and I got so worried thinking I might have hurt the baby inside me. Thinking about my situation at the time made me wish we have hanging enclume pot racks where we can just hang pots and pans and actually have them organized that way. I probably would've never almost hurt myself and the baby, if only we had one. That's why by the next time we move in to a new home, I'll make sure there's enough space for me where I could put the pot racks regardless of me not being pregnant anymore. I honestly think it's so much better that way because aside from saving cabinet spaces, it's easier to grab the pots and pans when we want to use them and easier to put back after using them.

So, I've made up my mind. We definitely are going to buy and use pot racks in our kitchen next time. I bet it'll be so much fun and easier to work around the kitchen when things are well-organized and you know where to find which kitchenware you want to use when you need them.
