what a klutz

i've read in my pregnancy books that as pregnancy progresses, one can get very clumsy. well, i started noticing it when i would drop my keys for no reason. but i brushed it off as general clumsiness. then i noticed i kept closing the fridge door on my belly. a few weeks ago, as i avoided colliding with our dresser, i ended up walking into the doorframe. and over a 2-day period last week, every time i walked into the spare room i would scrape my arms on the cd rack as i passed it :P

but today was the real whopper...chris had set up our new computer table, and i hipchecked into it and ricocheted right into the bar stool where i managed to crush my baby toe. at first i thought it was just a stubbed toe that hurt really bad. when the swelling and pain hadn't subsided by the end of the work day, i went to the walk-in clinic for a medical assessment. fortunately my toe's not broken or dislocated...just badly injured, and quite possibly could be sore for another week while it recovers :P so now i have a make-shift bandage splint for my baby toe and i'll be wearing flipflops for a few days.

just ONCE i wish i could say i had a pain-free pregnancy day. well, i have to ice my back and baby toe now. good night.
