My First Fall

Today I had my first fall as a pregnant lady. Never fear, there is no permanent (or even temporary) damage done. But I'll tell you the story anyway. I decided to take a walk this afternoon to the dumpster and to drop off some movies we rented. Boy, let me just tell you that it is getting really hard to walk any length with this belly. It just feels so heavy today. Oh yeah, it had snowed a little bit last night, so that made it slippery in some places. I did notice something about myself--I totally waddled today. I saw my tracks in the snow, and it looked like a duck had just been on the sidewalk. Normally my toes point forward and my feet are relatively close together. But today my toes were pointing out with each step. Anyway, back to my fall. It didn't even have to do with wet snow. I simply stepped into a hole that I didn't see, so my ankle gave out, and then the rest of me followed. I landed on my knees first, and then my hands reached the ground last. By the way, when you got a growing baby strapped to the front of you, there's no way to fall but forward. My ankle hurt for like two seconds, and so did my knees, and that was it. I brushed myself off and finished my walk.

Not a real exciting story, but that's ok. In other news, Josh had the day off yesterday, and it was so much fun hanging out with him. He pulled out his toolbox, and we did more work on the baby's room. We put up the curtain and valance for the window, and we also put up the wall hangings that we have. It's starting to look more like a nursery. I still haven't put the bedding on yet, cause it's still too early for that. I should take some pictures of what we did so ya'll can see. I also think we're gonna go buy the stroller this week. We went yesterday, but they didn't have any in stock. They have a truck come to the store three times a week, so it should be in soon.

I have a doctor's appointment later this week, and then we have our first class at the hospital on Saturday. It's Infant CPR. I've taken CPR courses in the past for babysitting, but it's been a while, so I wanted to have this as a refresher. I told Josh it would give me more peace of mind knowing that the knowledge is fresh in my head, instead of trying to recall it from my junior high days.

Josh and I caught an episode of Notes From the Underbelly last night, and we were laughing. The show is about a couple who is pregnant, so we can totally relate. For instance, the girl's big issue that was she felt fat and unattractive, and her shoes didn't fit anymore. I hear ya, sister! I can only wear my slip-ons and my sneakers these days. And then her husband bought her a body pillow, and it was so funny when she was trying to figure out how to use it. Oh, she was also tossing and turning at night and taking up most of the bed, which Josh says is totally me. At one point she even knocked him off the bed with her butt, but I've never done that (at least not yet).

Oh, I made brownies in a mini-muffin pan, and I put a Reese's PB cup in each one. Mmm, they are good! I sent most of them to work with Josh, cause I haven't sent any food for his coworkers in forever. I love brownies!

Ooh, I need a brownie break ;)
