I received my first piece of unsolicited advice yesterday. I had heard that Indians (and basically everyone) are big on giving advice to pregnant women and mothers, so I was starting to feel a little left out. :)
I wore sandals with a heel on them yesterday. No, let me clarify - I wore wedge heels with at most a small 2 inch heel on them. I mean, just short of qualifying as orthopedic, you know? And of course a lady in the locker room at the gym yesterday pointed to them and told me I shouldn't be wearing heels while pregnant. I smiled and said, "Thank you. I am fine." She looked at me closely and repeated it, "No, no, you shouldn't wear heels while pregnant." I figured evasive comments wouldn't work, so I just nodded and smiled. I'll have to work on a gracious, blanket reply.
About Me
- Emily
- Between the four of us, we've lived in 8 states and 3 different countries. We've been married 11 years and moved 11 times, making me simultaneously long for roots while missing my former homes. I don't feel exactly "right" anywhere. It's okay though - God has used this to remind me that since our citizenship is in heaven, we know we're not home yet!

I wore heels till my feet swelled too much to fit in anything but my open back tennis shoes. Hey- you gotta do something to still feel attractive as your body turns into a doublewide!
