I was feeling physically not well and it was effecting me emotionally. I wondered why the vitamins weren't helping my symptoms and why the doctor hadn't gotten back to me about my test results.
Then finally I got a call Thursday with the results. Busy with my sweet children I didn't have time to really let it sink in until I called my mom to tell her the news.
Realizing what this all meant as I talked to her, it was hard to bear. She kindly listened and told me about this song "Beautiful Heartbreak."
I'm sure you've all listened to it before but this was my first time and it was Heaven sent. If you haven't be sure to watch the video as you listen to the uplifting words.
I know everyone has to go through some type of "heartbreak" but with the Savior's help we can become the person He intended us to be through our trials.
"As we wait upon the Lord, we are “immovable in keeping the commandments,” knowing that we will “one day rest from all [our] afflictions.”
And we “cast not away … [our] confidence” that “all things wherewith [we] have been afflicted shall work together for [our] good.”"
To listen to this talk click here it has helped me with my perspective on trials.
The doctor still has one more test he wants to do after the baby is born that will give us "answers."

Friday we celebrated Brooklyn's fifth birthday. She's a sweetie and is a big help to me when I'm not feeling well (my personal earthly angel).
She is my first child to request a store bought cake and I willingly obliged.
I can always count on her to be my model. She loves to pose for the camera. Love you Brooklyn.

and no it's not really cold here yet, but it was cool early that morning and I decided to have the jacket on for the pictures and then take it off for our walk.
It was a good morning, can you tell??
Followed by this picture that night(this past Monday), not so good. And they did the same thing yesterday but in a different bathroom with more water.
Good thing I grabbed my camera.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

awww you look so good pregnant. I am sooo sorry your not doing well. The way you talk sounds so sad and scary like is it life threatening?? I so hope not. You always seem so calm too and speak of your children so highly. It makes me feel like i stink as a mom and am always complaining when my kids fight and whine and keep me up at night(typical mom) but you just seem like you truley appreciate them. I need to appreciate my kids more and be blessed i am able to have kids so easily. thank you so much for being you.
You are in our thoughts and prayers! I can't believe Brooklyn is 5! I really wish I could slow time down. Daniel and Lily remind me of Claire and Lola...so messy! I try to take pics of their things too because it helps me laugh instead of get upset!
I love that you share pictures of what your kiddos get into...that's REAL LIFE right there! :) HUGS about your baby. We are praying for you and your family and like you shared in your post, I have found joy in trials through Christ. He's got you covered too. :) You can do this!!!
