Stairs are hard!!!

Warning: Humiliating Story About Me

Today the girls and I had a play date with a friend. The girls played with her little girl while we talked photography (my fellow photographer). While walking down the stairs with my cameras and computer my foot slipped on a step and I hit the stair right on my bum and then the next stair and the next. My friend (poor thing) had this horrified look on her face as I landed on the bottom step. I'm sure I had this look of pain but trying to smile and laugh at myself.

So I continued trying to keep a straight face and play it off, all the while just wanting to scream and cry. It hurt!

So we talked and talked about photography and I wasn't feeling too bad. When we left the pain just kicked in. I tried to ignore it and keep going with my day but I couldn't ignore it anymore. I called my doctor...Oh, I guess I should explain a bit more, I wouldn't have had a big problem with it but when I fell and hit the stairs I felt it in my stomach as well and it hurt there as well. So I asked my doc if I should be concerned with this. He told me to go to the hospital to get checked out. Apparently, even if you fall on your bum hard enough you could do some damage to the placenta. Oh man, really, my clumsiness could do some real damage?!!! Well duh, I knew that but it sure doesn't make you feel good about yourself when it happens.

Well to ease your mind, the baby is just fine and everything is good...except for my bum. Have I told you that it hurts? So now, I'm sore and in even more pain than what normal pregnancy pains bring.

I know, I know poor me! Boo Hoo, right!!

Note to self...you are going to be very sore tomorrow so stop whining about it tonight!

To demonstrate more of my clumsiness, this is the second fall I've had. On our way to Utah, we stopped at a gas station, I was outside doing the gas and decided to play with the girls through the window. Well, I had to step over the hose. I miscalculated how high the hose was and my feet got caught up and I fell on my knees. Knees hit the pavement first with my feet up in the air and then the hands came down. Oh the pain!!

Tonight when Josh walked in our little room at the hospital, the first thing he says sarcastically, "You need to stop falling." HaHaHa!!! Poor guy, he's had to take me to the hospital so many times. He's such an amazing guy, I love him for always being there for me and even in my clumsy moments. It's got to get to a point where he just rolls his eyes when he hears of these things.
