Pregnant Pictures...

One of the hardest things for me is to look at pregnant pictures of myself...Here I am about 6 months pregnant with Olivia and we were just building out Doug's office...I had no clue what the next 3 months had in store for me...

One thing I definitely still know is that my Heavenly Father loves me and has shown me many tender mercies during this difficult time...I have also come to love and appreciate Doug so much more...He really has been amazing to me and to our little family...I just love being with him...

It's really interesting to me the things that have been hard for me to do...It's hard for me to call people...I usually LOVE talking on the phone...and seeing how people are doing...but, right now it is really hard for me...I appreciate all of my friends that have not taken offense to that...It is really hard getting out of bed every morning...although, the most surprising thing to me is how hard church is for me...I love being there and love all the people there, but it is really hard for me to be there...it is hard to do "normal" things...I can't go to a grocery store to get groceries for our house...I've been having my mom do it when she comes into town...sleeping is really hard to do...I have to completely exhaust myself during the day to even have a chance at sleeping that night (the next few posts will be about my adventures!)....

I have REALLY appreciated every card, letter, or thought that has come my way...I feel so loved and so blessed by all my friends...it really has lifted my spirits...thank you!!!

Oh Doug and Heather, I just read about what's been going on, I am so so sorry for the loss of your baby. I am thinking of you and praying for you guys. You are so brave and such wonderful people.

I know it's got to be tough to get back into the swing of things, but I was really happy to see that you've posted on your blog today! I've been thinking about you a lot lately, I've been wanting to call. If I do, you don't have to answer the phone, I understand! You're still in my prayers Heather!

In hard times I think of an aerobics instructor saying "Keep breathing!" because sometimes that is all you can do.
I'm glad you posted on the blog. You are in our prayers.

My dad used to tell me to "Just keep swimming". You are so strong. You guys are continually in our thoughts and prayers.
