My pregnancy thing -

Everyone has to have a "thing"...my pregnancy thing is falling. I fell down on a busy street in Honolulu just days before Clay was born. And I kept up the tradition today, but hopefully this time there will be a few months in between the fall and the birth!

This morning, I set out to find a pink rug for Evelyn's room (you may not have known that Evelyn is her name) anyway, searching for a rug...and I just decided to whip into this Sears that's near our house. It's weird...it's not part of a mall...it's just a huge Sears in the middle of a very ethnic part of town. Weird. Anyway...I thought...maybe they have a pink rug....so I carried Clay into the store. Well, it had been raining this morning and the floors were wet, as were my shoes, and I just stepped on the tile and fell (with Clay in my arms). That is not something people want to see...a pregnant lady, holding a two year old, falling. It was dramatic - then Clay started crying...I'm pretty sure I protected him in the fall, so I think his tears were from embarrassment or fear. So, that was really annoying...and on top of that Sears has the worst rug selection ever! So...I went home...then I called the hospital...which is totally something that I NEVER do. I don't know why...I just hate taking trips to see the doctor. They told me I needed to come in (they didn't tell me that it would be a four hour stay...) to be checked out. Everything is fine. Evey is kicking and there aren't any contractions, so we're feeling thankful tonight. Hopefully I got my "pregnancy fall" out of the way and there won't be any more falls!

One more thing...if you know me...you know that I have the straightest hair ever. My hair looks exactly the same no matter if I fix it or not...but in the last few months I have found both orange, yes orange, and black really wavy hairs in my head. It is freakish. Just thought you'd want to know that.
