Glucose Test Results.
This morning I had an appointment to take the glucose test for pregnancy. Basically this consists of drinking down in one sitting a small bottle of sugar water. Actually I don’t know exactly what it is, but that is my best guess. I chose the orange flavor and it basically tasted like orange pop without [...]

27 weeks and looking good!
I visited the doctor yesterday. He wanted to see me even though it was a bit early for an appointment since we’ll be leaving this weekend. The good news is that my cervix is tightly closed and everything looks normal. He said the leg pain I’ve been experiencing off an on is related to the [...]
General update.
I thought it was time for a general update of what has been going on in our lives. It’s been rather busy here lately. I am finishing up my chemistry labs at JBU. I have 2 weeks left and then I am done. I will not be returning to JBU in the fall. Despite the [...]
24 week check-up
Well, I have reached 24 weeks and had another appiontment today. Everything looks good. The baby’s heart rate was 145. I remembered my questions for the doctor this time and was satisfied with the answers. We will be on vacation when I would normally have my next appointment, so we are meeting a little sooner [...]
Pictures of baby and Good news!
Thank you so much for your prayers. Please praise the Lord with us that we have received good news. We saw nothing abnormal with the baby at all. As we drove down the familiar roads to Little Rock, I could not help but remember the many times we had drove them before. The exit to [...]
Fetal echo next week.
This is just a friendly reminder that in one week we will be getting the fetal echocardiogram and level II ultrasound in Little Rock. We’d appreciate prayers for safe travel there and back, for good news from the ultrasounds, and for our nerves leading up to this. Also that God’s peace will be upon us, [...]
20 week check-up.
Well, another noneventful check-up for a noneventful pregnancy. Not that I’m complaining, noneventful is really good; that means things are progressing as they should with no obvious problems. I’m sorry to disappoint all of you that were expecting ultrasound photos. I thought I was getting an ultrasound today, but because we’ll be going down to [...]
Lessons from a year.
I have put off posting what it was like to go through the anniversary of Emma’s death. Perhaps partly because it went so much smoother than I expected and I have been waiting for something to happen to change that, and partly because I felt the need to continue a bit longer in a private [...]
Emma’s headstone.
Here are some pictures of Emma’s headstone. It was placed just last week and it looks great. John designed it, with some help from me. The tree on it is an olive tree, which symbolizes peace, something we felt embodied a lot of what we have.
