My High Risk doctor wants me to see some other doctors for second opinions about these blackouts. He thinks it could actually be a form of seizures brought on by the pregnancy. There is a lot of concern if that was true - whether that would predispose me to Eclampsia in the last trimester. Now … Continue reading Okay – So Maybe I’m Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed!
Which Set of Names Do YOU Like?
So I've been tossing around a few ideas for names for our little twin boys. I think Jose and I have narrowed it down to these two sets of names. SET 1: Landon and Levi (we also thought about Lucas, Logan) When we got pregnant with Gabriel - I was going to name him … Continue reading Which Set of Names Do YOU Like?
NO! – – Say It Isn’t So!
Today was a busy day - especially for a pregnant lady! We started off this morning getting Mikela ready for school! Yep - I was actually up at 7am to get her ready for the 7:30am bus. Guess what - that 7:30am bus is for high school. Her bus comes at 6:40 AM!! OUCH! So … Continue reading NO! – – Say It Isn’t So!
Two Different Worlds….
I have always felt like Haiti and the states were most certainly two different worlds but never does that seem more true to me than now. I'm here in the states - enjoying the luxuries of sending my kids to school and dance. I'm focused on homework, making valentines with the girls, and doctor appointments … Continue reading Two Different Worlds….
Kids First Day Of School….
Mikela has school Monday-Friday and goes all day long. Rosie has school Monday-Friday and goes a half day. Malaya has school on Tuesdays/Thursdays and goes a half day. On Thursday we were ready to take all the girls to school. Mikela and Malaya got to go but Rosie didn't. She was NOT happy. I didn't … Continue reading Kids First Day Of School….
No Treatment for Blackouts – At least not now.
So I saw my high risk doctor today who isn't happy at all with the blackouts. He does believe they're related to the migraines. Here is the kicker - there is NO TREATMENT for it while I'm pregnant. The medications I need aren't safe during pregnancy. So basically I have to just put up with … Continue reading No Treatment for Blackouts – At least not now.
Well – Hmm….
So I saw the doctor today - and my headaches are still here and I blacked out again last night. It could still be the headaches causing it but with being on those medications - he didn't think it should still be going on. He is not sure what the deal is. He switched my … Continue reading Well – Hmm….
Short Update
The power is back on at my parent's house - it came on last night. We spent yesterday at Jani's house - THANK YOU VERY MUCH JANI! Shauna and Becky came and took the girls and are keeping them a few days so that I can rest. Jose met my sister in Cincinnati and she … Continue reading Short Update
Blacked Out Again…
Jose and I keep driving to check and see if the power is back on at my parent's house - so far no luck. But I got sick again last night and blacked out. This is the 3rd black out now and at least 4 other times I felt like I would pass out. We … Continue reading Blacked Out Again…
The Heart of Worship
The sermon I heard last week about SERVICE - continues to stick in my mind. The sermon was about how God has called all of us to serve in some form or another. I felt like this sermon would be useless to Jose and I - after all we're missionaries. I mean service is our … Continue reading The Heart of Worship
