Oh JZ it was just pregnancy-laden clumsiness, a combo of loose joints and a center of gravity being wayyy out in front. I just couldn't see my feet and couldn't stop myself from taking a header face first. Its actually a family joke now and I can laugh about it (it's been 13 years). The worst part of the whole thing was the ER nurse couldn't find the baby's heartbeat for a while, so you can imagine how I was feeling being all hormone-y and pregnant and hurt and worried that I'd done something terrible to the baby in my clutziness. Once they got one of the OB nurses down to ER and she found it right away (and gave them what for about not being able to do it).
Best Midlife Crisis Ever
Heee! It's actaully not as bad as I had imagined it would be and the marina has more amenities than we had with our house (pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, BBQ's) so it won't be bad for a couple of years (but no more than a couple!). So far, the hardest adjustment is having to bake using a microwave-sized convection oven. The kids adore having their own rooms and I gotta admit, our view is hard to beat. It's very nice to have my morning tea while watching the ocean.
