hi girls!

sounds like we're all ticking along nicely! no baby news to report here - which i guess is a good thing!! i've been poking and prodding my uterus for the last week or so trying to get a response from my baby, but nothing yet! i'm only 15 and a bit weeks, so i know it's still very early, but i live in hope!! my DH caught me poking my belly the other night in bed and then started poking me all over - in the arm, my belly, my legs, face, and kept saying "how do you like that? hah?" he's worried that i might be annoying the baby with all the prodding - ha ha ha!!

i had a bit of an accident this morning. my phone alarm started going off at 5am this morning and it was downstairs. i went down to turn it off (in the dark) and fell down the stairs!! i lost my footing and fell down backwards hitting my bum first and then my back. i slipped down a few steps before coming to a stop. i'm pretty bruised on my bum, wrists, ankles and elbows, but the only really sore part is my back. it's not bruised very badly, but it is constantly throbbing. i've taken the day off work and am going to get it checked out this morning to make sure that i haven't chipped a vertabra or something... we're meant to start moving into the new house tonight, and finish it tomorrow (removalists coming), but it's the last thing i feel like doing now!! oh well..

the only thing going through my mind as i was falling was "oh no, don't hurt the baby!" - i didn't hurt my tummy at all though, so i'm sure the baby is well and good, although would have been wondering what all sudden activity was about!!

4 weeks today until my 19-week scan - woo hoo!! still trying to convince my DH to find out the sex... should have him sold on the idea by then...

sorry, haven't read through everyone's posts (been away for the weekend and am in a rush now to try and find a doctor to check out my back), but will read up later tonight hopefully to catch up on everyone's news!
