My little sis!

I recently found my little sister that was taken when she was three, she is now 16 and I am so scared at the idea that I might get to meet her in the near future. For the longest time I didn't understand why we were put through so much crap as kids. I am grateful for all the battles heavenly father has given me. The lesson of forgiveness has been a great influence in my life. What scares me the most is that she will not want anything to do with us, this little girl (she is still three in my mind) was so special to me. When I saw a picture of her I started crying and shaking and I had the biggest butterflies in my stomach, she looks just like the girl version of my little brother and has curly hair just like mine. The last picture I have of her and I is when she is 2 and we roasted marshmallows and she has it all over her face and I was holding her. I have spent hours and money trying for years to find her, now that we found her we have to be careful and not give her mom the chance to run again. We just want her to know we are here and love her, we know at this point it will be by her own choice if she wants to know us. I love her and ask that if you remember, please say a prayer for my family that we will be reunited. Remember the people you love will only be here for a short time, dont waste it.

My trip to Labor & Delivery!

Well to start off I have been sick since last Thursday when we went to my nephews birthday party. I started to feel a cold coming on, nothing new I had one already this year. I have started feeling much worse over the weekend, thank goodness it was conference on Sunday so we got to do the church thing in our pj's. Monday I woke up after hardly any sleep full of sinus congestion. It has progressed over the past couple of days but I knew I had a Dr appointment to see the OB on Wednesday so I waited till today. When I went I have lost weight, something they werent very thrilled about and the baby hadn't been moving as much so they sent me to L&D for monitoring. The nurses were really nice but I couldn't stop coughing long enough to get a good tracing in the beginning. The baby looked great. They are very concerned that it is pneumonia or strep throat. I have to go get a chest xray tommorrow. I am exausted and I just want to feel better!

I think she likes soccer!

I have been sick for the last week, the last couple of days I have been laying around and I swear she is trying to kick me off the couch. I think she got her kicking skills from her father who used to play soccer. Her kicks and moves are so much stronger now. I can't wait to meet her! I am starting to stress a little because we haven't done anything with the nursery yet, I hate last minute planning!
