Kung Fu Ouch

I like a good kung fu kick just as much as the next person. Maybe even more than the next person.

Yesterday, Sam and I were in the elevator at Macy's (on the way to the bathroom, of course) and, inspired by the elevator's hugeness and our aloneness, I decided I needed to kick. No, I didn't pee my pants (just in case you thought the parenthesis above was a form of foreshadowing).

I got my leg about halfway up to my goal height and then cringed in pain and grabbed my back and butt. I forgot that, of late, all is not normal in my structure. It seems that for the past few weeks, Bean has taken up residence on a nerve that leads to the left side of my posterior. I've thought maybe it is my sciatic nerve, but something I read last night made me think maybe not - something to bring up at tomorrow's prenatal appointment.

Anyway, Sam and I had a good laugh over the pregnant woman who couldn't do a kung fu kick, but thought she could. Probably not funny to those of you weren't in the elevator with us.
