as the earth shook

FINALLY! i am in the club of women who fall while pregnant ...wwfwp...i have earned the right to roll one pant leg up to signify this great event. i carry a holster of ace bandage and i will tear you up like a mutha if you mess with me

i was visiting a friend in ely minnesota and she was staying at a cabin. we were walking down her cabin steps, which were actually large stones, and one foot went into the crack....the next foot while in mid-step tried to save my fat ass....and i put all of my weight on my ankle. at first i laughed because it felt so good-almost orgasmic ...uh THATS A LIE!!! holy crap! i thought for sure , 100% , that i broke it.
as i laid there in the dirt, i immediately felt like i was going to throw up, started shaking uncontrollably, then my friend maura asked...no screamed...oh my gosh! the baby! did you land on the baby?! my response being the wonderful mother-in training that i am "screw the baby! i think my ankle is broke!" tears started flowing.
about an hour later after all the hub bub calmed down, it was then that i realized-im gonna be a horrible mother! tears started flowing again lol
my ankle blew up and was pretty bruised but i was able to move it after a bit so i played it tough-no hospital for me
kinda scary though and im glad that i have the instincts of a cat that im able to flip mid air and ALMOST land on my feet. lol kind of not really. but at least my belly never touched the soil, just my large birthing hips.
