Ouch! That is what I'm saying right now whenever I try to move. I seem to have royally screwed up a fairly important region on myself last night. After Annika went to bed, I went downstairs to get some laundry out of the drier. Before doing that I went to turn down the tv and as I was walking back out of the living room, I slipped on a toy. I didn't fall but my foot slipped out from under me and I started doing the sideways splits. Yeah, that did not feel good at all. My groin hurt right away but it wasn't *that* bad so I got the laundry and went back upstairs and put it away. Then I sat down at the computer for a bit. That's when things tightened up and moving, walking, standing from then on hurt really badly. I took a Tylenol before bed hoping I would feel better in the morning. Well, mornings here and I am definitely not better. I called my midwife this morning and she said that yep, I more than likely pulled something down there. I am to dope myself with 1000mg of Tylenol every six hours, stay off my feet as much as possible today and tomorrow and to take 3 warm baths each day and then follow that with icing the region. Thank goodness Kris is home to take care of Annika because I certainly can't do that right now. Don't remind me that he has to go to work tonight. I may need to call in some back up if I still can't walk very well. Don't anyone panic with this news now. I'm fine, the baby is fine (kicking and moving around like crazy this morning, especially when Annika was snuggling by me in bed and kept pressig on my stomach - he wanted her to leave him alone - hee!), everybody is fine.

This morning I did worry Annika though. We were sitting at the kitchen table and I told Kris I was going to call the doctor. And then I broke down and got weepy. Annika got really concerned and asked me if I was okay, if I was crying, if I was sad. I pulled myself back together and reasurred her that mommy was okay and not sad anymore. She is such a little sweetheart.
