‎33 weeks pregnant - and on crutches.

[Quail_Antwerp]

yep - you read that right! I'm on crutches.

Twisted my ankle stepping off our back porch - which is like 4 inches off the ground so NOT a big step at all. There was a small dip in the part of the yard I stepped on, and well, I just twisted my ankle and started going down. Hurried up and threw myself into a roll/turn so I wouldn't land on my belly.

Quick trip to ER confirmed it's a bad sprain, nothing broken. But swelled up to the size of a baseball!

I'm the proud new owner of 2011 Crutches

LOL tempting! I'd have the coolest ones around!

DD wants to put pink ribbons on them for the shower on Saturday HAHAHA

I'm glad it wasn't any worse. I was sure I was going to twist an ankle on many occasions when I was pregnant. Smart of you to roll into it.

Hope that ankles heals quick.

Get well soon!

does this mean pie season is on hold?

Get well soon!

does this mean pie season is on hold?

I'm hoping not!!!!!!!!! I put up enough blackberries for 11 pies, enough blueberries for 12-15 pies, and I'm stocking up on peaches and apples!!!

I'm worried it will mean no baking this weekend for Monday, though. It also means no blackberry pie for a prize on Saturday.

Yea, I guess pie season will be on hold for at leasat this weekend.

Take care of your ankle - hope it heals quickly.

Heal quickly!! And I'd take DD up on the ribbons. How sweet and cute of her to think of that!

Yes--be thankful it wasn't worse. My neighbour ws going down her stairs--thought she had reached the bottom when she had one stair left and tore all the ligasments/tendons in her leg. she will be on crutches for a very long time. Sucks when you are pregnant though.. But you could work this to your advantage
