FYI...

Just in case any of you were wondering:
If you ever find yourself painting a room when you are 6 months pregnant, there are some things that you should try to avoid. One of those things is using a printer as a step ladder. NOT a good idea. Printers are not necessarily stable pieces of equipment to stand on. They tip over easily when weight is disproportionately placed upon them. ...And when that weighted object happens to be a pregnant lady, ankles will likely be twisted. ...Especially when bellies are needing to be protected.
...Yep: I've learned my lesson. My ankle is thankfully recovering: it could have been a lot worse. I could not bear any weight on it until yesterday and already today I've been able to hobble around without crutches. I guess that it was just a good ol sprain. I've had tons of help from friends and church family and Fred's mom came last night to help. I'm so thankful for such great help and that it wasn't any worse!

You crazy girl. Let your sweet hubby do the painting and you go sit back and have a few bon bons. Okay, that may be unrealistic - I'm not even sure what a bon bon is, are you? Anyway, pleeeeaaase be careful and take it easy. In a few months the phrase "take it easy" will be erased from your vocabulary permanently so enjoy it now while you have the chance! Love you and glad you're okay.

Wow... what a bummer and so not fun. I am so glad that you have help. I cannot imagine if you didn't and being 6 months pregnant. Take it easy!

I don't think Proverbs 31 had this in mind! ;)

Leslie's having Lilia tomorrow!

We miss ya'll and will pray for a speedy, complete recovery from this big "huh oh!"
