Still Counting...

I had my weekly Dr appointment today - not much has changed... still dilated only about 1 cm.

As if I hadn't had enough fun in the Dr's office, I fell (hard) in the parking lot on my way out to the car! I was walking down the sidewalk, then stepped off onto the parking lot toward my car, but what I didn't realize was that I was stepping on to a slanted part where the gutter is (it's hard to see around this big'ol'belly), so my right ankle buckled causing me to fall (more like fly) forward, landing on my knees then my hands (meanwhile my cell phone went flying out of my hands several feet on to the pavement, but was ok after all that). I scraped up my left knee pretty good, and I'm sure I'll be feeling the ankle and the hand and whatever else later, but no harm to the baby (as far as I know...). Once I gathered my bearings, my main concern became getting to the car quickly and with as much dignity as possible! I know people had to have seen me, but no one said anything or offered to help (probably because I picked myself up so fast). I thought Eric was going to give me a hard time about being more careful and being a clutz, etc, but he was really just concerned and sympathetic (more for the baby, than me, I'm sure, but I'll take it - lol!).

The baby must have thought she went on a roller coaster ride, because she was active on the drive home!

Well, that's about it for now - due date is only 2 weeks away!

OMG you tell it so funny, but I am sure at the time it wasn't. We are glad you and the baby are ok. You are lookin' great, thanks for the updated belly pics. =)

Just the 2 of us...
