My trip (and fall)

I had a little incident today while on UNC's campus visiting my customers. As I was heading up the stairs to enter one of the buildings, I lost control of my legs and fell up the last few steps. I landed pretty hard on the concrete at the top of the stairs. I fell on my side, and there was no direct trauma to my belly. Baby is moving around and is just fine. The OB nurses at UNC told me to take it easy for the rest of the day and continue to monitor baby's activity. I scraped open my hand and elbow, and I did some damage to my foot. Matt and I made a visit to the Orthopaedic Urgent Care Center at UNC to have my foot checked out. The doctor was fantastic. Due to the location of the pain, he determined that nothing could be done for my foot even if it is broken. Because of this and to prevent radiation exposure to the baby, he decided to not x-ray. He stuck me in a wooden shoe to keep me from further damaging the foot and he sent me hobbling on my way. I must admit that I look pretty pathetic with a big 9 month pregnant belly limping in a wooden shoe!

I think the moral of the story is that it's time to slow down. No more running up and down the stairs. My body showed me today that if I don't slow down on my own, it will stop working correctly anyways!
