Article: Always place both hands on the object, if at all possible. This increases your ability to maintain control over it as you move. Find a good handhold as well, if you can. For example, on a box this may mean using pre-punched handholds on the side or tilting it until you can reach under to grab it from below. If you feel your handhold slipping as you lift, set the object back down on the ground smoothly and quickly. You do not want to risk dropping the object or hitting your belly with it if you lose control. After you've established your grip, it is time to lift. Your legs and arms should do the majority of the work. Tighten them to lift the object and rise slowly into a standing position. If you feel your back tightening, you need to use your legs more. If you are in the kneeling position to start with you can lift the object to the top of your knee first. Then, use the knee on the ground to push upward, taking the box with you as you rise. This is a bit tricky when you have a pregnant belly to work around. But, holding the object near to your body as you lift and move will reduce the strain on your arms. "Bear hug" the object if you can, pulling it to you with both arms wrapped around it. Do not set the object on top of your belly bump at any point during the lifting process. This would keep the object close to you, but could also prove harmful to your baby by placing too much direct pressure on the abdomen. Keep your body facing forward as you lift. Maintain this position even as you move the object. Twisting or turning places weight-bearing pressure on your back and hip areas. After you've lifted the object into a standing position, if you need to head in a direction other than the one that you are facing, rotate your body by leading with your feet, not your spine. Don't rush to get where you need to go. Take purposeful, small steps. Watch for any obstructions that may be in your path. When you are ready to drop off the object, set it down by bending your knees as you lower. Your waist and hip area will bend as well while your back should remain straight. This is essentially the reverse of the lifting position that you used before. You can go down to one knee or squat to place the object on the floor. Watch to make sure that you are not leaning too far forward as you go down. As with any type of weightlifting, it is very tempting to hold your breath at various points as you lift, stand, walk, and set down. It is more helpful, and safe for you and your baby, to maintain a consistent breathing pattern.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get a good grip. Flex your legs and arms to lift. Keep the object close to you. Avoid twisting. Walk slowly when carrying the object. Bend to set the object back down. Breathe naturally throughout the entire process.
Article: In order to effectively replace your shower head, you'll need a blanket or tarp, an adjustable wrench, a pair of slip-joint pliers, and a new shower head. It would also be beneficial to have teflon tape. You can purchase these materials at a home improvement supply store. Make sure the shower knobs are completely turned off and are secured tightly. This will prevent any water from leaking out as you work to replace the shower head. Don't bother shutting off the water supply; this would require unnecessary effort. Lay a blanket or tarp down in the tub or on the shower floor to prevent any shower head bits from possibly falling down the shower drain, and to protect the tub or shower floor surface from falling tools or materials. If you'd like to be extra careful, you can put tape over the drain to ensure that anything that falls around the blanket or tarp won't fall down the drain as well.

Gather all the necessary materials. Make sure the shower is completely turned off. Lay down a blanket or tarp.
Article: You can make it from scratch using your favorite recipe, or you can make it using a boxed mix. Don't over-mix the batter; you want there to be some lumps. If you do this, the waffle will turn out chewy. Add some oil or melted butter into your recipe to reduce sticking. For extra flavor, add some cinnamon, vanilla, or almond extract. If you want some heat in your breakfast, try a dash of chili powder. Set the waffle maker onto a flat, heat-safe surface and plug it in. If your waffle maker has different heat settings (ie: light, medium, dark), select the one that appeals to you. Some models will have an indicator light that switches on. Pay attention to this light; it will turn off or change color when the iron is ready to use.
