They say you reach a point in pregnancy where you suddenly turn clumsy. I think i reached that point early on, and just continue to progress in it. It started months ago when I dropped a (plastic) half gallon of apple juice in the grocery store, and it managed to land on the edge of the LID, which cracked (didn't even pop off) and there was juice all over the aisle. Fortunately it was like 9pm, so there were only a couple of other people in the same aisle. The girl came and cleaned it up and was like, "don't worry about it... it happens all the time..."
I wondered if she meant, "pregnant women are always dropping and exploding juice bottles..." or "people tend to drop things when they're pregnant..." or if she was just being nice cuz they pay her to be nice to clumsy customers.
A couple of weeks ago I somehow managed to prepare a bowl of cereal, pour the milk on it, and THEN spill the entire thing (upside down on the kitchen floor). I had just woken up, so excited to eat!! it was early morning, and i just stood there dazed and confused, and stared at it--trying to comprehend how in the world it happened.... similarly to how I had stared at the carton of upside down/burst open blueberries a few weeks before that. Being the cheapskate that i am, i picked up every blueberry i could find (some were 10 feet away!) and washed them thoroughly so as not to waste the good money i dished out for fresh fruit in the middle of winter! not quite as easy with the bowl of cereal... OR the cup of yogurt that fell OUT OF THE BAG and exploded on the kitchen floor as i was trying to pack for my lunch yesterday, while i was hurrying out the door (something you probably shouldn't do anyway when you're 7 months pregnant).
And you may recall the shattered glass of water incident, bedside, when we were sick about a month ago... but i can blame that on sheer weakness of the flu, right???
Other than that I'm feeling rather stable these days-- except for the daily dropping of my cell phone-- c'mon, it's a slippery little thing!
I'm putting my hope in the fact that the clumsiness is a symptom (however strange and mysterious) of pregnancy, and not a permanent condition... that'd be bad to drop a newborn.
