Feeling Much Better!

The Lord is good! You probably know that I am in Katy, TX with Elizabeth staying with some cousins while their parents are out of town. The day before we left to come I was feeling sick to my stomach all day. This continued on Sunday, the day I traveled here. I blamed it on the baby, although it was quite a bit worse than anything I experienced with my first pregnancy. Sunday night I started throwing up. Not fun. Especially since my schedule here is quite busy and begins at 5:00am. Monday I still didn't feel well. Tuesday and Wednesday was a little bit better until Wednesday night. Thursday was horrible. I could barely do anything and could not keep any nutrition down, including water. Somehow I found strength deep within to keep on going, at least for the bare necessities, and it was comforting to know lots of people were praying for me. Brandon called and asked if it would be helpful if he or my mother-in-law came down. I said it wasn't necessary but would be helpful. Probably more trouble than its worth. Money, schedule, etc. A few minutes later he called me to tell me my mother-in-law had a flight and would be here about 3:00 that afternoon. I just started crying, I was overwhelmed with relief, gratefulness, and well...pregnancy hormones. I felt sooooo loved! She got here at about 3:00 and I was in bed at the time. I stayed in bed for the next 30+ hours except to get sick. I slept and slept and slept. After talking to the midwifes it appears that I had a virus not just baby sickness. Yesterday I was feeling better but still very weak. Today I see even more improvement and strength. I am still pregnant though, so there is still a little morning sickness, but nothing to complain about. All of those who have been praying for me and to my sweet mother-in-law who came to my rescue I AM SO GRATEFUL.

I want you to look close at Elizabeth's hair in this picture. It is messed up!!! Yes, that's right she has enough hair to mess up now. Yippee! This is how she woke up from her nap.I am so encouraged...she won't be bald forever!

Elizabeth and Jasmine (our niece) are best of friends. This is a short video of them playing together. I love the way Jasmine says "Elizabeth"!

More Pictures

Good afternoon my friends! Elizabeth and I just went on a walk and of course I took a few pictures. This town is very pretty. The homes are nice and most of them have very beautiful landscaping. Everything is so green and they have some tropical trees and plants that add a nice touch. Close to the house where I am staying the have a really nice little lake. We were there when I took these first two pictures. When I push Elizabeth in her stroller she always crosses her feet. It is so cute!
Something else that Elizabeth and I enjoy doing together is swinging on the hammock in the back yard. The weather has been really nice here.

Update From Katy, TX.

Hello! Elizabeth and I are staying with some cousins while their parents are out of town for the next 10 days. We got off to a rough start with some sickness but many prayers have brought us through. Elizabeth has been doing very well. We left early Easter morning and this was her first plane ride. She did really well. We visited grandparents to celebrate Easter on Saturday before leaving. Here are a couple pictures.


Brandon took us to the airport early Sunday morning. It was hard to say good bye.

I wanted to get a few pictures of her first plane ride so I had to do self portraits. This is what I came up with.


Things are very green and pretty here. We went to the park today for a few minutes and I was hoping for some good pictures but Elizabeth was really sleepy so most pictures were of her whining. I'll try again another day.

I can hardly wait to see everyone again! I love you Brandon! TTYL

Elizabeth Laughing

It is amazing to see what things will make Elizabeth laugh. This was a one-time thing that we just happened to catch on camera. Enjoy!

Elizabeth Pictures

These are just some random pictures for you to look at of Elizabeth. She is sooo much fun.

Last time we where in Tuterville we fed the fish with Papa.

A couple of weekends ago we went to crossroads mall. Elizabeth liked playing in the play area and then she enjoyed her very first carousel ride!


She almost enjoyed it too much and was very very close to throwing an "I don't want to get off" fit.
