Well of all the unexpected things to happen! Yesterday when I was in the kitchen I slipped on some water on the tiles and managed to not fall, but strained all the muscles in my groin really bad as I almost did the splits!
I thought it would get better pretty quick so went and lay down, but when I went to get up after a little bit I couldn’t walk!!! It was soooo painful, like all my muscles at the top of my legs weren’t working properly cause they felt torn! Needless to say I managed to get to my office chair which has wheels on the bottom and wheel myself around a bit, but walking is out of the question! I ended up calling Andy to come home and help me out cause I couldn’t do anything for myself which was a bummer! We ended up going to the hospital in the evening just to check things out and make sure the baby was ok, but there was nothing they could do for me in that I just have to wait till the pain goes away.
Funnily enough, my mother did something similar when she was 8 months pregnant with my brother - pulled all her muscles in her groin trying to save me from a billy goat that was head butting me on the beach! She grabbed it by the horns and pulled it away from me so I could get up, then she tried to push the goat away while she jumped up onto a rock wall to get away from it…which is when she pulled all the muscles!!! She was pretty much on bed rest for a week…so I am guessing it will take a few days for this to heal as well, which means I am pretty immobile…bummer…now completely contrary to what I was praying before (that the baby would come early) I am now praying that she wouldn’t dare come until my muscles are healed otherwise there is no way I am going through normal labour cause I can’t even move my legs properly, so it would be really painful and pretty impossible! 
Its funny how life has a way of throwing curve balls when you least expect them…so I wonder what i can learn from this experience and this time…patience I suppose??...optimal ways of positioning your legs without having to use your muscles??...how to ask my husband for help?? cause now he has to do everything for me again!! 
Oh well…its just another thing to look forward to being done with…at least it takes the focus off me waiting for the baby to come! hehe…always have to see the bright side…there has to be one here somewhere??!!
