I Fell Last Night

You know, if I hadn't been pregnant, it probably would have been slightly funny. How can you not laugh when you are laying on top of the shower curtain with your feet in the air, water going everywhere, buttass naked with suds all over you when your husband walks in? Oh yea, because you are too worried about your baby you fought so hard for that nothing is funny.

I don't know how it happened. I slipped in the shower. It happened so fast. I just remember twisting so I wouldn't fall on my stomach. In turn, my back ended up bending over the toilet, my shoulder slammed into the sink cabinet, the backs of my legs slammed onto the side of the tub and I landed in a heap on the floor with the curtain rod javeling down on top of me. It was AWFUL.

I can barely move. I'm black and blue and so sore. It feels like I've been in a car wreck with a semi. Last night I was really scared. DH was scared and worried. I had some sharp pains in my left side but no blood. (THANK YOU RACHEL for calming me down) Everything seems fine this morning except for all the bruises and the fact that I can hardly move my right arm. I'm a mess!

I do know, it was very scary and I can't imagine going through something like that once I start showing. I'm seriously thinking about installing those tacky slip gripper stickers in my shower just to be on the safe side. I never want to feel like that again.

I'm also strongly leaning towards Grace as a middle name for a girl to counteract this klutziness. Maybe Gracen for a boy. (okay..that might be a bit of a stretch).

*Edit: It's amazing what happens to a scared father. He is now fixing our deck steps that I've been asking him to fix for months without me saying a word today. I think he's decided he has to be ahead of the game to protect his child since his wife is such a klutz. I give him total props though. He fetched me drinks, food, heating pads, and gave me a nice backrub today. Been very attentive checking my bruises and swellings. He's so sweet.

PS. Steph, THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME CARD! It is so going in the baby book!

  1. Just a little bathroom ballet for the evening. I hope the bruises fade and you can find the humor. Little baby Buck is nestled safe in your cozy ute.
    I'm glad you liked the card. I have been thinking about you a lot and just cannot tell you how happy I am for you.

  3. OMG! That's it. I must escort you in all future showers to prevent this from reoccurring. ;) (Yeah, I'm worse than you are in the klutz arena. So in reality I wouldn't be any help at all...)

    I'm glad you weren't hurt more seriously and that Baby Buck is doing well.
