Did I say I was over being clumsy? I take it back. Yesterday at 11am, Matilda fell out of her sling. She wasn’t seated in it correctly and I somehow let her drop right out of it. She fell from waist high to the floor and hit her head on the hard wood floor. I [...]

I was in a fog for most of my pregnancy. I could not remember things like my own phone number or make any decisions. In addition to being stupid, I was also completely clumsy.
