Man! The last three and a half weeks have been hectic. I finally have a chance to tell my labor story. May 18th I went to work as usual. I worked my whole twelve hour shift, but noticed I was tired more than usual. All I wanted to do when I got off was to take a bath and go to bed. So, I did just that. I didn't even eat dinner because I didn't have the energy and honestly I wasn't hungry. At 8:45pm I woke up. I had been asleep about an hour. I don't know what woke me up, but I decided I would go ahead and go to the bathroom since I was up. I noticed that there was a little more discharge fluid than normal, but didn't think anything too much about it. I laid back down and I was cramping and had to go to the bathroom again. The second time I went there was A LOT of fluid. So I go lay back down, naturally. Then, I get up to go to the bathroom again. It's not even 9:00pm yet. Finally, I decide it's time to wake Troyce up, because he had gone to bed with me. I s...

And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, 'Do you have anything here to eat?' They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence. He said to them, 'This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.' Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, 'This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise fr...

I know it’s been since October since I’ve posted. Not only have I been dealing with this pregnancy, I’ve been dealing with personal issues. The last ten months have been rough for me, starting before I found out I was pregnant. I had this friend, my best friend, who tried to wreck my career, didn’t help the wreck of a marriage I had at the time, all while doing this behind my life. When I say she destroyed me, I mean she absolutely destroyed me. I was at my lowest point I had ever been at. I would sit at home by myself, not talking to anyone except for Troyce and my parents. I was mortified. Embarrassed. Never in my life had I felt like this. But there was this new life growing inside of me, that depended on me. I had to put all of this aside for my baby. Troyce and I have worked through our issues and I believe we are stronger than ever. As for my friend, I have forgiven her but I have not forgotten. Not too long ago she tried to make amends. I let her have her moment. She then tried ...
