Well, in a moment of bumble, bumble, trip and tumble - I fell today. A doozy, straight onto my knee, smashing the kneecap up against some concrete. As my friend Janina would say - "just call me Grace." Unfortunately, it was at Riley's preschool picnic, so I was all but useless there. Thank goodness Nana took the day off and came along, thanks to her the kids were actually able to do some activities and enjoy themselves for a bit before I finally decided I wanted to get home and call the doctor. Saw my midwife, who said Liam looked good on the monitor, and everything seemed fine. She did urge me to go down to the ER to have my knee looked at, but I'm thinking after a night of icing it, and keeping it elevated - I'll have a better idea of whether I've got some sort of serious injury here. According to my dad (who wrote the book on knee injuries), it'll feel much worse tomorrow. Hooray.
However, to find a silver lining in all of this, my midwife did an internal exam to see if the contractions I've been having are doing anything, and sure enough - they are! I went from being closed up like a drum on Monday to 1cm dilated and 50% effaced today!
So, that's the update for today. Until the next one, you can just imagine me quasi-waddle/limping around my house. What a beautiful, ladylike sight.

Did you know that the saying "What a revolting development this is." was made popular by a 50's sitcom called "The Life of Riley"?! That's an interesting coincidence, isn't it?
