I hope there isn't really a stairway to heaven.... cause I'll fall down it...

I took pictures of my garden the other day and had planned to put them up this week for you to see. I also had lots of fun crafts planned to show you as I get ready for my girls princess dinosaur birthday party. The felt banner was just begging to be made! But it had to happen...

Last night I decided to do the electric slide all the way down our stairs, from the very top to the very bottom. Ok, so there was nothing electric about it. However the good thing that I found out halfway down is that I can still do the splits. I'm approaching 30, pregnant, and still able to do the splits.

Really though, I'll be OK. The baby seems to be doing great. I just decided to take her on her first slide a few months early. She's kicking like Mia Hamm and moving more every hour.

My knee didn't fare as well. I seem to have torn a little ligament on the side of my knee and will be in a brace and moving slowly for a few weeks. Surgery to fix it is not an option until after the baby is born. However, I know that I will be fine. I know this because I believe that Christ died on the cross for me and for this baby. Belief makes hard things easier. It does not stop the hard times from coming and it doesn't mean that I'll never fall down the stairs again. But I have faith that tells me that the end I'm promised is worth every single step I stumble on upon the way.

So if you want to come help me clean my house before the birthday party this weekend, don't hesitate to call! Actually other people cleaning my house bugs me silly. But I will be accepting donations of cars and large amounts of cash. :)

Hopefully when I can get downstairs to get the camera tomorrow I'll be able to put up the garden pictures. I promise not to fall down them this time.
