Today my sister and I met up with my cousins Shannon and Jessica for lunch @ Earl's.  Poor Jessica, the lone non-pregnant person at the table... the conversation revolved around embryos, amniotic fluid and my personal favourite, the "crotch pain".

The "crotch pain" refers to the chronic pain in my crotch that day that I got from almost experiencing  the wipe out  of the century in the Costco parking lot.  Graceful as I am on my feet, I recovered but not before doing this weird splits-like manoeuvre, thus straining my pelvis or whatever the proper term for that area is called...groin?  Needless to say, it hurt.  Having the opportunity to grill my sister (world class breeder extraordinaire) and cousin (first time mommy but 7 months more experienced than myself), | needed to get to the bottom of whether this was a pregnancy pain that I would have to suffer through or whether this was the result of sheer klutziness. Again, I apologize to Jess for what I can only assume was a horrorific lunch date.

As it turns out, the verdict was that I am a klutz but that the pain was more intense due to the fact I was carrying an extra load of baby in my uterus which was putting extra weight on my crotch area.

All in all, lunch was fun.  It made me realize how much I miss my family back home in Regina.  This is a big year for us -- three 2010 babies!!  Next year's lunch date will be insane (or epic)!!!  Either way, I feel like I have to apologize to Jess a year in advance because there is no way for her to escape more baby-filled conversation.  Sorry Jessie!! Have I mentioned how awesome you are???  You're going to be a great super aunt to that Skolney baby!!! And, you can be a honourary aunt to my demon-child too!!!
