Pregnancy + Falling = Not Good
Well, I really pulled a doozie last night. As I was about to step out of the shower, I lost my footing, slipped and fell. It wasn’t pretty at all. In fact, it was hideously embarassing. I grabbed the towel bar and the tiles popped off and off came the towel bar. So then I grabbed the shower curtain and down came the shower curtain rod. Yeah, it was a really classy sight to see, let me tell ya. It wasn’t until I was sitting on the tub floor when I realized all that had happened and looked down to see my left boob had been cut in 2 places and was bleeding. Then the stinging and pain started. Oww! Such a sensitive place to get cut!
Gene helped me up after I sat there and tried to make sense of what just happened. I cried a little but mostly because I was just scared and shocked. I thought about the baby when I was falling and was able to push myself backwards so that I would fall on my rear and not on my tummy. And fall on my rear I did! Today it hurts to sit and I keep wishing that I could be at home in bed. My left boob is so sore and my arms and legs are just aching really badly.
I laid in bed for a good hour before falling asleep, trying to pay attention to how my body was feeling and make sure I was having no cramping. Baby girl was moving around a lot, I guess to let her mama know that she was ok. I called the doctor this morning and they said not to worry if I am feeling movement and not having any spotting or cramping. I’m just taking it easy now and try to see how I feel. So far so good as far as that goes.
Gotta try to get my Dad over to repair the broken tile and going to have Gene help me in and out of the shower for now on. Go figure I never slip and fall in the tub until I am 6 months pregnant and then BAM, it happens. It’s just how life works, I guess. Going to be extra careful for now on. Oh and all of that winter weather I have been wanting? No thank you. I am perfectly ok with our sunny 60° weather. Snow can come next year, when I’m not so fragile.
A friend of mine had her baby today! I am so excited. I’m really excited to go up to the hospital after work and see her and the baby. A 6lb 14oz baby boy! Everyone I know is having boys, it seems. This Saturday I have a baby shower to go to and then next Saturday another one, both for boys. 2009 is the year of boys, I guess :)
Anyone have any baby girl clothes they want to donate to me? lol Since everyone is having boys, I haven’t had much luck with knowing anyone to give me any of their girl stuff.
Gene and I are going to stay in a Hilton in Austin, TX for 3 nights in February. I am sooo excited. We’re going to relax and just be together and have a good time. I love going places with him because we always have fun together. He is going to be SUCH a great daddy to this baby girl. Sometimes just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.. Then again, I am starting to notice some serious signs lately that are all pointing to the direction of HORMONES. So far I’ve been really good as far as mood swings & The Crazy goes. Gene and I discussed it a week or so ago and we both agree that I’ve been doing great. The pregnancy so far has been AWESOME and I have felt great. Besides getting ill and then falling, I have been fine. I think my immune system has been what has suffered the most from this pregnancy. I’ve been really lucky so far and I can only hope the next 4 months are the same!
