I took a little Tumble today...

And let me tell you it was really frightening! I was walking to get on one of the buses that run around NAU and I didn't see a nasty patch of ice in time. Both feet flew out from under me and I landed flat on my back (Home Alone, Lost in New York Style). It really hurt and I was so embarrassed...so of course, I started to cry. Some really kind, chivalrous guys got off the bus and came running to my aide. One of them asked, "Are you alright?!" I said, "Yes I'm fine, but I'm pregnant so I'm really not supposed to be falling." He responded with "Oh no!" and then sat by me until I was ready to get up. They each took an arm and hoisted me up and then one of them actually dusted me off! Then they helped me get safely aboard the bus. I felt so stupid, but more importantly I was freaking out because I had just taken a really hard fall. I didn't hit my head and I was wearing my backpack, but still my backside hurt pretty bad. I called my OB's office and they told me to come right in just in case. They strapped two little machines to my belly, one to monitor the baby's heartbeat, and the other to monitor whether or not I was having any contractions. I wasn't, thank heaven! And the heartbeat was normal and everything looked fine. The Dr. said I would be really sore tomorrow, though. :) I will take sore over having something wrong with the baby any day!
