While I was updating my design blog last night, I decided to redesign it a little bit. Go look…she’s so pretty. Doncha’ think?
Speaking of things that are pretty…
I now have an aversion to showering. No lie. I was taking a shower this weekend and slipped coming out of the tub (I’m naturally a klutz, pregnancy makes it a deadly condition) and almost busted my ass (and face, and belly) all over the bathroom floor. Luckily, I grabbed the shower curtain (and it actually held!) which is probably what saved my life. Or at least my pride.
But now? I’m terrified to take a shower. I need to get some of those no-slip fishies or bubbles or whatever those things are that you put in the tub to keep small children (and klutzy pregnant women) from busting ass. Because really, can you imagine a more humiliating time to fall? When you’re NAKED? And WET? AND PREGNANT? That would NOT be a pretty site for anyone in my house to stumble upon. I need to get the non-slip thingies if for no other reason but to protect the men I love from a future of nightmares involving beached wales on dirty linoleum.
I know exactly what you mean!
I’ve not slipped, yet, but I fantasize (horrorcize? RDRR) about it while in the shower, dreaming of having those beautiful bars for handicapped accessible bathrooms alongside non-slip stickies.
Clearly you need a cabana boy (or two) to give you a daily sponge bath…
Uhm, when you are done with your cabana boys? Sned them over.
“beached whales on linoleum”? classic! no worries girl. mrz would swoop in and scoop you up and tell you how cute you are. i seriously doubt it would traumatize him for life.
Scary! (The almost busting your ass, not your design blog. That is very pretty.) Shit ,I have problems staying upright in the tub; I can’t imagine how hard it would be with your balance thrown off by a baby.
I used to have the WORST time with tub slippage, but then I got one of those reflexology mats on sale and not only do I not slip anymore, but it said on the package that I’m improving my circulation and balance and all sorts of other crap by standing on it. Handy!
So what does it say about me and my size that MY shower curtain didn’t hold when I fell after breaking my nose (courtesy of my dogs)? Actually, no…don’t answer that.
To stumble in upon? Are you taking showers with the bathroom door open?
I was having slipping fears just last night when I was showering. And I couldn’t help but wonder that if the risk is so high and the fear is so great now at 21 weeks, what will it be like at 31 weeks. It’s probably the first time I’ve been thankful for our tiny shower - if I start to slip, hopefully I can grab the wall tiles (yeah, what am I thinking - tile has such grip action?) before I go down. Based on the comments and my just-now realization, I think I should start a cabana boy sponge bath business for pregnant women.
Ouch! Glad you are okay! Install some of those gripper thingys ASAP!
Your design blog looks great..
I was like that when I was pregnant too.. only I slipped on my front door steps and busted my bum for all the world to see and co uld barely walk for a week afterwards.. ick..
