16 Week Appointment

Dear Baby, Well, we're still chugging along. I am FINALLY not feeling like I want to die all the time, and at our doctor's appointment, I was pleased to tell this to Doctor Harrison. I am looking forward to our 20 week ultrasound in a few weeks, when I get to see all of you and see how you are growing. Until then, keep giving me a break on the nausea, will you?

Emergency Rooms

We had an adventure this week. On Tuesday, I called Daddy around 1, because I knew I was getting a migraine. I could feel that fuzziness coming on, and I knew I would need help. Well, it turned out to be much worse than I thought. When I tried talking to Daddy, I could hardly speak. I couldn't remember words. Daddy told me I sounded drunk and left right away.

Well, in the Emergency Room, they sent me right through to the fast track, and checked me for all s

Summer Heat

Dear Baby, I am so looking forward to fall this year. I always do, but especially right now. When it is hot outside, I feel so much sicker. The cool air in the mornings makes me want to be outside doing things, but by afternoon and evening, I am miserable in the heat. Overall, I am feeling so much better, though! As long as I remember to have snacks, I don't feel any more "morning" sickness. That is such a relief, to me and your brothers. I am still quite tired and very emotional though! Everything sends me to crying these days. Even one of Henry and Johnny's favorite cartoons made me cry this week. How silly is that? There has been a horrible storm in Texas the last week or so, covering Houston and the surrounding area with TONS of water. Thousands have lost their homes, their possessions, and their loved ones to Hurricane Harvey. As I see pictures and read about it on the news, I am so grateful that we are here in Provo, where things are safe. I look forward
