Not so graceful

So I said I would start out by telling you about some events that happened over the last few months.

To start things off I was laid off from my job on Oct 10th. By the 10th I was so tired physically from being pregnant, working full time, and just emotionally drained that in So many ways it was a good thing, at the time I thought I had about 4 weeks left till my due date. The next week I didn't do much I slept and hung around the house.

About a week and a half after my last day at work I did what only really clumsy pregnant women do, I stepped off my back porch and broke my foot. Yes its true I am not very graceful and it showed.
So here is what happened I thought it would be nice to help out Misty and fix a whole in the fence in our back yard so Barkley (Misty's cute little dog) could go into the back yard and not be able to jump through the fence.
As I was coming out the back door I looked over and saw Aaliyah pointing the staple gun at her face with her finger on the trigger, so I stop looking at where I am going and focus my attention on her. I proceed down the stairs while I was telling her not to point the staple gun at her face and telling her it is unsafe. As I step off the last step I step on the one part of the pavement that is uneven, there is a 1 inch difference at this one point in the pavement I stepped just right and rolled my foot. I didn't fall, I was able to hop over to a chair, Aaliyah brought me ice and a pillow and I called my mom and Misty. My mom came and picked me up and misty met us at the hospital. We sat in my doctors office for two hours before he saw me only to tell me that they couldn't do any x-rays till the next day, so I went home and delt with the pain because all I could take was Tylenol. Then next day we waited for the call from the doctors it never came in so my mom started to make calls and we went to the hospital to get the x-rays.
I broke my foot right over the arch. This happened almost 2 weeks to the date of my due date and the only thing I could think of was I am going to have to sit on this broken foot till after I have Treysen and then have surgery.
I didn't need surgery, he put me in a walking boot for 3 weeks and a walking shoe for 2.

Thanks heaven for small miracles

We are back

It has been awhile since we have updated Ralph's blog. It has been very hard over last few months and I am still trying everyday.
I want to start by letting everyone that has called, come by, or sent cards and letters that I am eternally great full.
I also want everyone to know that I am going to keep up the blog. It was originally set up so that we could keep everyone posted about Ralph, and now I will post about his son (Treysen Ralph Placencia).

Truthfully this is the first blog I have done so bare with me. I am also going to post and write about the last few months.

There will be lots more post in the next few weeks.
