I imagine when God created me, He had himself a little chuckle. He made me with several odd quirks. How often does a person have 10 extra permanent teeth in their mouth? One of my odd quirks is my allergies. I haven't struggled with my allergies in several year, however, in the past few weeks they have really flared up. When I mentioned this to the doctor, she just gave me a knowing smile and said "yes that's common in pregnancy."
If you are a fellow allergy sufferer you will understand the common symptoms; watery eyes, stuffy nose, scratchy throat. While I do eventually experience those symptoms, it is often my ears that are affected first - which throws off my perception and I walk straight into walls. Yep, thats how I know my allergies are bad - I smack into walls. Picture my parents watching their toddler repeatedly hitting a wall while trying to exit the room, or their teenage daughter open the door to leave the house and then run into the edge of the door. Its a wonder they ever let me drive.
I have gotten used to this odd quirk, and even learned to find it humorous. However, after smacking into a wall yesterday I realized this could potentially be bad the further I get along in my pregnancy. Currently it is still my nose that is going to hit the wall first, but in a month or so - it will be baby belly that first reaches the wall. So I have devised a plan! Baby bumpers. Yes, I will look strange walking around for the next 5 months with my hands sticking straight out. So I am letting you all know now - no, I am not practicing a zombie pose. (Dave and Milton, I am not reenacting scenes from Zombieland.)
Baby bumpers....it is all about keeping baby safe!
