Sprained Ankle

Last Wednesday I spent all day helping to get the LandSea participants all check in and ready to depart on the bus to Killarney. This is always a very hectic day, as there are 92 participants and their very nervous parents all trying to move their stuff into dorms, organize all of their backpacking things, get their id pictures taken, and say goodbye for the first time. So naturally, I had to add to the general craziness of the day by falling and spraining my ankle! Apparently walking down the stairs, carrying a large box of squeeze butter and answering my cell phone is just too much multi-tasking for me to handle! I fell down two steps, and landed directly on my ankle. Luckily I didn't land on my stomach or rear, but the OB had me come in for an ultrasound the next day, just to make sure that the baby is ok. He is still a healthy and happy little guy, and he was moving around a lot more this time than at our 20 week ultrasound. I was on crutches for two days, hobbled around with my ankle wrapped most of the weekend, and am moving pretty well now.
