7 weeks!

So for the first time in a week I was able to get up and have a cup of coffee. It was very good :) I wasn't queasy at all this morning so that was VERY nice. I've had 3 pretty good days in a row! I'm not getting my hopes up though. Tomorrow could be a very different story.

Other than that we're just going through the motions. There was a time last week when I was feeling so good that I'd forget that I'm growing a baby inside me. So Marc and I go on a nice long bike ride. We're crossing the street and he jumps up over the curb onto the sidewalk. Well this is like his 80th time showing off like this so I think to myself "I can jump that curb. No problem." But considering I couldn't jump curbs when I was ten I have no idea why I thought I could jump it when I was 28. But I tried...so I slowed my bike down, took a quick glance to the oncoming car on my right. Deep breath, hit the brakes a little more, a swift look up watching the 4 other people on the trail...here I go. BAM!! Right into the curb. I don't even think I got an INCH off of the asphalt. My wheel turns around, I scrape my knee and hit the back of my leg with something. And then I burst out laughing. I look up at Marc and say "Did you just see what I did??" I'm cracking up as I slowly lift my mangled bike and body onto the sidewalk. The nice lady stops to see if I'm ok. I am I say...but my bike seat is twisted at a 90 degree angle and I'm just trying to ride away from these people because I look like a total idiot. I was bright red and so embarrassed. I kept thinking about how cool I would have looked if I would have jumped it...but instead I just looked like a crazy woman in her bike helmet trying to be cool! Bad flashbacks to childhood, let me tell you!

I finally catch up to Marc who asks if I'm ok. I of course say yes I'm fine, let me stop and fix my seat. Then I get the LOOK and the following "You know you should probably not try and jump curbs when your pregnant!". OOpps! I wasn't even thinking that I could get totally mauled by the pavement while trying to look cool. Sigh...guess I have to leave these types stunts alone for a while. Then eventually I can lecture my kids on being stupid and trying to jump curbs. But at least I tried.

And I solemnly swear to avoid curb jumping or otherwise dangerous stunts while pregnant.
