Klutz

By kate on September 8th, 2005

The pregnancy continues to progress. Here are some notable developments lately:

I’ve become clumsy. I guess this is a magnification of the usual PMS/hormone-related reduction of spatial capabilities (aka hand/eye coordination). It’s annoying to keep dropping things, and to know this may not go away for months to come. So, don’t let me use any of […]
