i slipped and fell at the bottom of our staircase on Friday night and let me tell you...falling when you're preggers is the WORST time to fall.  luckily, i didn't hurt my spine, just the major muscle adjacent to my spine. and luckily i fell on my backside and not my front side.  my OB said my baby's pretty well protected in my body at 17 weeks.  i had enough extra cushioning before i got preggers so i'm sure that helps as well.  i saw my regular primary care physician today at the advice of my OB since i was still having some shooting pains 3 days after this happened.  my regular doc said that the best thing for me since i was preggers was to just continue to take tylenol and suggested i use a heating pad.  he said it would take about 10 days to heal...and today is day 4. 

i'm super thankful for the prayers and encouragement from friends and family.  i can not wait for day 10.  i'm going to really have to try harder to not be so clumsy going forward. 

and mark my words..the next house we get if we ever get a second house...it will be a one story house. ;o)
